The stresses of day-to-day life, underlying traumas and some of the issues within the gay community that gay men deal with on a regular basis often make it difficult for gay men to feel motivated to eat healthy and get regular exercise.
In each episode, we’re going to explore issues that affect gay men like mental health, relationships, substance abuse, and body image, as well as provide tactical advice in the areas of fitness, nutrition and mindset to start getting immediate results in their fitness journey and in their life.Let’s start our weight loss journey with the Pride Fitness Podcast.
