SUMMARY:CASES Webinar - Empowered or Judged? Exploring Women's Body Image in Gym Spaces
DESCRIPTION:While gyms are often promoted as spaces of empowerment\, health and strength\, for many women they are also sites of surveillance\, judgement and comparison. This webinar will explore some of our recent work that focuses on women’s body image and lived experiences within gym settings\, drawing on mixed-methods data examining how gym culture can be both empower and constrain women’s physical activity and exercise. \nThe webinar will discuss findings from two interconnected international studies exploring women’s perceptions of body image and gym participation\, including a mixed-methods survey and qualitative photo elicitation. These studies show the complex interplay between empowerment and judgement\, how gyms can foster both strength and community\, while also reinforce unrealistic appearance ideals and discomfort in male-dominated spaces. \nWe will also reflect on our use of mixed-methods\, discussing the benefits and challenges of integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches when studying complex psychological phenomena. The study unexpectedly attracted mass media attention from around the world\, highlighting how deeply these experiences resonate with many women and how urgently more inclusive\, psychologically supportive gym environments are needed. \nWe will invite reflection on how theory\, particularly self-objectification and gender performativity\, can deepen our understanding of women’s exercise behaviours. Our session will conclude with practical recommendations for promoting inclusivity and positive body image in gym settings\, highlighting implications for sport and exercise psychology practitioners\, coaches and researchers. \nHosts\nDr Emma Cowley is a sport and exercise Assistant Lecturer at the SHE Research Centre\, TUS Athlone. Her work focuses on women’s (often invisible) experiences in sport and exercise. Drawing on research across the island and internationally\, she explores how systems\, not individuals\, shape women’s opportunities to stay\, lead and thrive in sport. \nKat: Dr Kat Schneider is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of the West of England in Bristol\, UK. Her research interests include body image\, weight bias\, and weight stigma\, primarily within sport and exercise settings. She conducts applied research with academic and industry partners to create social impact and promote accessible\, inclusive\, and supportive movement spaces for all.
