There’s an abundance of health information available on the internet, and it’s growing rapidly every day. But much of this information is ill-informed, poorly researched, or just plain wrong. So how can you tell fact from fiction?
At Inspire Fitness, we pride ourselves on our quality of service and evidence-guided practice. Our personal trainers, corrective exercise practitioners, and exercise physiologists are highly qualified and committed to staying on top of the latest research. Accordingly, we will be rounding up the best content from around the web (published recently or things we’ve discovered this week). Most importantly, we’ll be plucking the good from the bad, so you get the true, unadorned facts about how best to take charge of your fitness, health, and wellbeing.
