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.

I was expecting this book to be hard to listen to, but honestly, Chas does a good job of highlighting the pros and cons of industry practices and disciplines, along with the aimed goal of each. Yes it is very raw and may be polarizing to some, but I feel like he takes a very objective viewpoint and gives every aspect of fitness a fair assessment.
Although this is not a traditional diet and workout book, the reader will still learn a ton of knowledge that will help them with their fitness journey. It really opened my eyes and gave me a new perspective, would recommend!
