Talks:

Talk One: 'The Confidence Effect'

• We will discuss the psychology behind confidence in fitness and how it underpins both physical and mental wellbeing, the role it plays in fitness motivation and performance, and how building self-belief can support more consistent, enjoyable movement. We’ll also discuss practical ways to boost confidence in fitness spaces – like choosing the right kit – making exercise feel more accessible and sustainable for everyone.

Speakers: Rebecca Byrne and Dr Sula Windgassen

Talk Two: 'What Women Get Wrong About Fitness'

• We will discuss the biggest misconceptions shaping how women approach fitness, and what actually matters instead. For example, are we overcomplicating what counts as a workout; why do so many women struggle to stay consistent; are we setting unrealistic expectations? We will bust the myths and give clear takeaways that the audience can apply immediately.
