In this powerful episode, we sit down with Darrian — a diversity and inclusivity consultant, athlete, and soon-to-be personal trainer — to talk all things fitness, identity, and representation.

Bullied throughout his youth for his sexuality, Darrian has turned pain into purpose. He’s now on a mission to make the fitness world a safer, more inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong. From completing marathons and HYROX races to speaking out as a proud voice for change, Darrian proves that showing up as yourself is the strongest move you can make.

We dive into:

• The lack of inclusivity in gyms and the fitness industry
• How bullying shaped Darrian’s drive
• The power of visibility and community in sport
• Why we must challenge the status quo in fitness culture

Message of the episode: Fuck the bullies. Be yourself. And the fitness industry needs to do better.
