FitPro Radio Ep 4: Language Matters with Dr. Melissa Smith

This episode is the reason for this podcast. After deep soul searching, I've wanted to dive into language in my own fitness classes, cueing and marketing I have used and continue to use. 

I've learned the harm in esthetically focused cues, or marketing classes like "burn off the holiday treats" and have wanted to dive into this conversation with a professional I love and adore.
