Maggie chats with personal trainer and mother Elle Brown to explore what it really means to help clients “find their movement groove” in a world that often makes that far more complicated than it needs to be.

Together, they dig into:

• The role running has played in Elle’s life and how her relationship with movement has evolved
• The intersection of fitness, motherhood, identity and societal expectations and how these forces shape women’s experiences of movement
• What needs to change in the fitness industry if we want to genuinely help clients (and ourselves) in the long term
• The gender gap in fitness, the very recent history of women’s exercise, and the systemic barriers that still shape who feels welcome in movement spaces
• What we can do, as PTs, to build fitness environments that feel safer, more inclusive, and more responsive to everyone’s needs

This episode is for anyone interested in movement beyond “exercise prescriptions” especially coaches, trainers, and women navigating movement alongside work, care, and complex lives.
