Fitness is supposed to mean health.
Energy. Strength. Living longer.
But somewhere along the way, the industry twisted it into something darker.
The Truth No One Tells You
Behind the gym selfies and shredded abs are stories nobody posts about:
People starving themselves on 1,200 calories a day.
Overtraining until their joints are wrecked.
Quietly popping pills or steroids just to “look the part.”
Smiling on Instagram while secretly battling eating disorders.
All in the name of “health.”
The Illusion That’s Killing Us
Scroll your feed and you’ll see bodies that look flawless. But what you’re really seeing is:
✨ Lighting tricks.
✨ Filters and Photoshop.
✨ People dehydrating themselves just to look lean for 10 minutes.
We compare ourselves to that and wonder why we feel like failures.
Here’s the scary part: the most shredded person in the room isn’t always the healthiest. Sometimes, they’re the most broken.
What Fitness Should Be
Fitness shouldn’t make you hate your body.
It shouldn’t push you to extremes.
It shouldn’t be about fitting into some “ideal” that only 1% of people can achieve.
Real fitness is:
Having energy to play with your kids.
Feeling confident in your skin, not tortured by it.
Building a body that lasts, not one that burns out.
Final Rep
The deadly side of the fitness industry is real.
And it’s not just about steroids or supplements—it’s about the lies we’re sold every single day.
Strong isn’t starving.
Healthy isn’t shredded.
And the best body you can have?
The one you can actually live in, love in, and feel at peace in.
