Weight-Neutral Fitness with Certified Trainer Emiko Jaffe

In this episode, Emiko Jaffe and I explore what weight-neutral fitness means and how people in all shapes and sizes of bodies can begin a positive relationship with movement.

About Emiko Jaffe

Emiko is a weight-neutral, size-inclusive fitness coach in San Diego, California who helps people perform the activities they care about most with more ease, efficiency and enjoyment without pursuing intentional weight loss.

 

Emiko pivoted to becoming a weight-neutral, size-inclusive fitness trainer when she realized the harm and futility in most attempts at sustainable, intentional weight loss. She finds that her focus on actual fitness (what our bodies can DO) and not on intentional weight loss or aesthetics makes it compatible with the goals of many people who are in recovery from an eating disorder or have otherwise received clearance from their eating disorder team who also want to pursue fitness goals (increasing strength, stamina, mobility, overall health and well being).
