Focus Group: Is your fitness “body-positive?”
About event
Join us for a focus group discussion where participants will be asked to discuss their experiences with “gym culture” (from large, corporate gyms to small, boutique studios). Potential discussion points include, but are certainly not limited to:
-
body-positivity and how we define and enact it;
-
what we look for when joining or purchasing classes at a gym or studio;
-
whether and how our emotional lives need to be fulfilled in our pursuit of physical fitness.
In exchange for their time, participants will be provided a delicious dinner. Participants will be asked to sign consent forms and their feedback will remain anonymous.
Facilitator:
Dr. Amy Latawiec, holds a PhD in Writing and Rhetoric from Wayne State University with several years’ experience conducting field research. Her primary research question for this project is “What role, if any, do feelings and beliefs – in other words, emotional sensibilities – play in a person’s choice of fitness facility or physical activity?”
