Drawing on empirical research, this fascinating new book explores
the embodied experiences of 'gym goers' and the fitness cultures
that are constructed within gyms and fitness spaces. Gym Bodies
offers a personal, interactive, ethnographic account of the
multiplicity of contemporary gym practices, spaces and cultures,
including bodybuilding, CrossFit and Spinning. It argues that gym
bodies are historically constructed, social, sensual, emotional and
political; that experience intersects with multiple embodied
identities; and that fitness cultures are profoundly important in
shaping the body in wider contemporary culture. This is important
reading for students, tutors and researchers working in sport and
exercise studies, sociology of the body, health studies, leisure,
cultural studies, gender and education. It is also a valuable
resource for policy makers and practitioners within the fields of
sport, leisure, health and education.
