Say hello to the future of fitness. Women’s Health and Men’s Health are proud to introduce the 2023 class of Strength in Diversity, an initiative that offers trainers from marginalized communities the chance to be mentored by elite fitness professionals and gain valuable knowledge from leaders across the wellness industry.
The fitness industry still has a long way to go when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Educational and financial obstacles prevent too many people from gaining the certifications required to become experts. Empty and enduring assumptions about who and what fitness is for leave many feeling like they don’t belong. Systemic issues have consistently deprived trainers from marginalized communities of the tools they need to build a career in this industry, and that only makes it harder for folks in their respective communities to access the kinds of unique, exciting workout experiences that make fitness fun—and life-changing.
