ALT “Fit Is Not a Size” is about breaking free from the outdated belief that fitness only looks one way. For too long, we’ve been told that being “fit” means being thin, lean, or a certain size—but that’s simply not true. Being fit is about what your body can do, not what it looks like. It’s about building strength, improving endurance, boosting energy, and feeling confident in your own skin. At my gym, Just Move, we celebrate every kind of body and every step of the journey. “Fit Is Not a Size” is a movement to rewrite the narrative—because fitness should be inclusive, empowering, and rooted in self-respect, not unrealistic standards. You don’t have to change your body to be part of the fitness world. You just have to show up. Read about Amanda's philosophy here: https://irun.ca/community/fit-is-not-a-size/
