About this listen

In Fitness Is F*cked, author and retired fitness professional Chas Gonnello blows the whistle on the fitness industry. Fitness, which includes the wellness, nutrition, health, performance, and supplement industries, is rife with quacks selling snake-oil “solutions” that prioritize their bottom line, not your well-being. This cutting book reveals the fitness industry’s deficiencies and how to avoid them.

From this starting point, Fitness Is F*cked, takes you on a journey that explores a host of popular fitness methodologies, from bodybuilding to kettlebell training, highlighting their benefits while also examining their limitations. Furthermore, this book discusses the perpetual sexism rife in fitness, how social media has impacted the industry, and persuasively argues for more regulations that will prevent schemers from profiting off of their false claims.

Rather than yet another exercise manual, Fitness Is F*cked explores fitness through a philosophical prism, referencing thinkers such as Nietzsche, Camus, and Baudrillard. This book is a valuable guide that uncovers what it actually takes, mentally as well as physically, to truly succeed in your fitness pursuits.
