About this episode
We're proud to celebrate Pride Month by welcoming mental health advocate and Glasgow based personal trainer, Mark Brownlie to Just The Fitness Tip.
Having previously worked in social care, Mark brings a holistic approach to training his clients with a focus on the benefits exercise can bring to mental health.
Mark is an openly Gay man and he opens up about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the fitness industry and the gym environment, as well as the role that unrealistic body image and our relationship with masculinity plays on exercise & diet habits.
We ask Mark;
Is there greater pressure on Gay men to work out?
How do heterosexual men treat him in the gym?
Does being Gay help or hinder his ability to identify with clients?
And what all of us can do, regardless of sexuality, to make the gym a more welcoming place.
