At Osmosis, we know how discouraging it can feel when you’re doing everything right—showing up for your workouts, moving through the chaos of life to take care of your body, even being more mindful with your food, yet the number on the scale doesn’t budge. Or worse, it climbs. But here’s the truth: The scale is not the ultimate judge of your progress. In fact, for some it can be one of the least reliable indicators of the positive changes happening in your body and brain when you commit to regular movement.

In a world that often reduces fitness to a before and after photo, setting goals that have nothing to do with weight can feel radical but stay with me for a moment - and maybe on the other side of this 3 minute read you will also begin to see how freeing, empowering and sustainable what I'm proposing really could be. When you stop trying to manipulate your body and start listening to it instead, movement slowly becomes something you want to do - not something you have to do.

The way we approach weight inclusivity at Osmosis studio is by upholding the belief that health and fitness are not determined by a person’s body size, weight or shape. We believe that people of all sizes deserve access to respectful, affirming and effective fitness spaces - without the assumption and pressure that they need to lose weight to be healthy.
