It is not just one person. It is our society as a whole, assaulting our mental
health, and melting away any perception of normality. We see it with those suffering
from depression and mental illnesses, such as eating disorders and excessive

distraught when not able to attend the gym. After years of her own surveillance, Jodi

Testimonials
"I have worked in the fitness industry for nearly 30 years and when Jodi Rubin
approached me about her project called Destructively Fit, I realized that there was a
void within our professional fitness community regarding the topic of eating disorders.
We have all suspected at some point or other, that individuals who participate in our
training programs or attend our classes or are members of the clubs that we work in
may be suffering from an eating disorder.
With all the education I have received, there has been some mention of these
conditions, but never has there been ANY detailed training on how to recognize and
then cope with individuals who may be suffering from this potentially devastating
disorder. Jodi has created a presentation that fills the educational void for our industry
and provides concise information to help the fitness professional recognize potential
issues with individuals that may suffer from eating disorders and practical strategies
that help both the professional and the fitness enthusiast.
Destructively Fit: demystifying eating disorders for fitness professionals opens the
door to this historically taboo subject and empowers the fitness professional to take
the appropriate steps in helping those who may suffer in getting the help they need. It
also impacts a fitness professionals programming for those afflicted to minimize the
damage they may already be creating in their bodies. If you havent taken Jodis
workshop, it is certainly a must and is definitely a requirement for my fitness staff."

Destructively Fit covers a topic that no other personal training course would touch:
eating disorders. While eating disorders and body dysmorphia are ever-present in the
dance and fitness world, few people dare address them. Jodi not only addresses the
subject, she educates her students with courage and grace. Her knowledge is extensive.
Her course, Destructively Fit, can provide even the most seasoned professional with
useful tools for identifying, addressing and even training someone with an eating
disorder. I was one of the first people to take her class and I look forward to a part
two."
