Stop eating Gluten. Want fast fitness results? Do HIIT and lift weights. Keto is the best way to lose pounds quickly. Intermittent fasting is the answer to everything.
So much information! What do you trust? More importantly, what’s right for
you? Conflicting information is everywhere, but the underlying message is loud and clear - Your body is the problem and, you’d better fix it.
What if the solution isn’t a new diet or another fitness program? What if you could create a healthy lifestyle using simple strategies to build lasting habits of a healthy life-- a solution based on
loving the body you’re in?
Award-winning Personal Trainer and Health Coach Gillian Goerzen wants you to know it’s not about the perfect program -- it’s about redefining healthy living on your terms, and developing strategies, routines and habits that work for you – and your real life! Grounded in science, self-compassion and Goerzen’s personal journey from body hatred to body positive, you’ll learn to ditch the diet, reclaim an empowered relationship with your body, and become healthier as a result.
With
The Elephant in the Gym, you’ll discover:
- No gym membership is required to be fit.
- The real secret to lasting fitness motivation (it’s not what you think).
- Why you don’t have to be fit to be healthy (and other myth-busting facts).

- What you can do to get started living your healthy lifestyle today!
