What is Equilibrium Health Advantage?
Are you a fitness instructor looking to enhance your knowledge and make a positive impact on your clients’ lives? Look no further! Equilibrium Health Advantage is thrilled to introduce our exclusive training program focused on Fitness and Eating Disorders.
In one study, approximately 75% of employees at a fitness studio had suspected a client of having an eating disorder or exercising excessively, and 65% of these respondents confronted the client at least once (Colledge et al., 2020). Wondering the differentiating factor between the group that could help their client and the group that could not? Education.
