In this episode, Nikki is joined by a roundtable of coaches and movement teachers to unpack the America's Next Top Model documentary and how it applies to the fitness industry. 

They discuss:

  • The impact of America's Next Top Model on body image and beauty standards
  • How harmful industry norms are justified and perpetuated under the guise of "that's just how it is"
  • Parallels between reality TV and the fitness industry, including transformation culture and exploitative marketing
  • The influence of early 2000s media vs modern social media on shaping our beliefs around our bodies, food, and "success"
  • Why as fitness professionals we should challenge misinformation and create better standards for marketing
