Chris Murray: Curiosity, vulnerability, and why appearance-based assumptions are harmful

Beneath the Armour

In this episode Chris Murray (he/him) (I accidentally called him Chris Murphy at the beginning which was an excited mistake) and I have a powerful conversation about: - The danger of appearance-based assumptions in the fitness industry - Gender experience differences at the gym: what our experiences are as a cishet white man and an AFAB (assigned female at birth) nonbinary person - Vulnerability, fear, and how all of us are afraid in our own way - The importance of asking hard questions, owning what you don’t know, and staying curious and brave - Actionable steps we can take to create a safer and more open fitness environment Chris is a coach of over 15 years, a competitive Strongman, the father to 3 young boys, and a highly sensitive, empathetic human. Chris is passionate about strength training as a means to uncover your mental and physical superpowers, and NOTHING gives him more joy than seeing those around him realize what they are truly capable of.
