  • Summary

  • For decades, women’s fitness has been shaped by society’s narrow beauty standards. But behind the aerobics classes, running clubs, and Pilates studios is a powerful history of resistance, empowerment, and change.

    In this episode, Turia's joined by journalist and author Danielle Friedman, whose book Let’s Get Physical uncovers the untold story of women’s fitness. From Jazzercise to strength training, she explores how movement became a tool for self-expression, confidence, and power - and how the fitness industry has both empowered and exploited women along the way.
