Disagreements and Fitness Part 2

In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and
Robby are joined by special guest Brandon Wilton. The topic of
the podcast on this episode is disagreements within fitness.


They ask and attempt to answer the following questions in the
episode:


-Do fitness coaches have an obligation to disagree with other
fitness coaches and call out bad ideas?


-If we disagree with someone in the fitness realm what is the
most appropriate way to disagree with one another?


-Does how we disagree with one another depend on who is
disagreeing with whom? (Coach to Coach, Coach to Client)


What are the ways in which disagreement in fitness can be
beneficial or detrimental?


The Fitness in Philosophy podcast is dedicated to discussing the
intersection between concepts in philosophy and their connection
with fitness. Each episode we talk about a particular
philosophical concept like autonomy, knowledge, virtue, truth,
etc. and discuss how that idea connects with coaching fitness,
participating in fitness as an individual, and fitness culture at
large. It is hosted by James FitzGerald and Robby Gustin. About
