  1. Competition vs Community

    6D AGO

    Competition vs Community

    We love this episode! Carissa and Shemar dive into how the gym world turns competitive instead of community driven and how that leads to toxicity in a space that is meant for health!  Rebel found it's niche in community not competition and we want other health and fitness providers to follow our lead!  There's love for the winter olympians, hate for super bowl commercials (yes again), and other current events...ya'll know it always stays relevant!  Support the show

    Barriers That Keep Us Stuck

    It's SEASON TWO BAYBEEEEE!  Welcome back ya'll! We took a little break after season one, and now we're back! In this episode, Carissa and Shemar dive into the barriers to health and fitness, some examples, how to intentionally plan for them, and how to move through them. In the world we live in, it's tough to just enjoy the journey without being caught up in how to get from point A to point B all the time, and it keeps us stuck in a cycle of quitting and beginning again...this episode will help shine some light on that cycle and how to change your mindset to break it for good!  For the last few minutes, Carissa thanks everyone for tuning in on season one and helping to make the podcast a success it's first season! Real Talk with Rebel Fitness hit a bunch of goals (1000+ downloads, was a top show on Spotify wrapped, recorded and published 25 episodes, just to name and few) and we could not have done it without our listeners!  Thank you! www.rebelfitnessnc.com Support the show

    Real Rebels - Carissa

    Ya'll asked for it, and here it is!  Carissa finally gets into some of the nitty gritty details on her history with health, fitness and weight loss and how it ultimately led to her starting one of (if not the only) openly weight neutral and anti-diet culture gyms in the country.  Starting her first diet at 13 years old, Carissa goes through in detail what that was like, and looking back, some things that may have caused it. Then fast forwarding through college years as a D1 athlete and what that did to her body image and disordered tendencies, up through motherhood, to now.  It's a roller coaster, but it's raw and real. Give it a listen and let us know what you resonate with!  Support the show
