Today we are joined by Heather and Katie, owners of Barpath Fitness which is a LGBTQ+ and women-owned fitness coaching business that focuses on strength, confidence, and health. They also co-host the podcast Stronger Than Your Boyfriend where they discuss health and fitness topics. Both Heather and Katie are dedicated athletes who have health and fitness degrees and certifications and industry experience. In this episode we talk about toxic messaging aimed at women in the fitness industry, tips for women wanting to start their personal fitness journey, and how they began their careers in a male-dominated industry.
