Why the Gym Doesn’t Feel Safe for Women

Season 34 Episode 3410 | 26m 46s

Why do so many women feel judged or unsafe at the gym? This honest conversation dives into the unseen barriers keeping women out of fitness spaces - and how we can change that. We speak with Dr. Emma Cowley of the SHE Research Centre at TUS, Ireland and Disnella Santos, a fitness influencer and model.
