What's Happening?
The Men's Health 'Strength in Diversity' program has been connecting trainers from underrepresented communities to the fitness industry for six years. The 2025 class includes trainers with diverse backgrounds,
offering unique perspectives on fitness and health. The program aims to provide opportunities for marginalized groups and make the fitness industry more inclusive. Trainers from the 2025 class shared their best advice, emphasizing the importance of balanced training, sustainable nutrition, and the significance of representation in fitness. The program, led by Men's Health editors, includes weekly Zoom sessions and enrichment programming to support trainers in their professional development.
Why It's Important?
The 'Strength in Diversity' program addresses the lack of representation in the fitness industry, promoting inclusivity and diversity. By supporting trainers from marginalized communities, the program helps to create a more equitable industry that reflects the diversity of gym-goers across the country. This initiative not only provides professional opportunities for trainers but also enriches the fitness community with varied perspectives and approaches to health and wellness. The advice shared by the 2025 class highlights the importance of sustainable practices in fitness, encouraging individuals to focus on long-term health rather than quick fixes.
