Ilya Parker

Hi my name is Ilya and I am the founder of Decolonizing Fitness. 

Welcome to the Decolonizing Fitness University (DFU) book shop. DFU is an educational hub dedicated to providing supportive approaches to physical movement through a body liberation and harm reduction framework while also dismantling the mainstream norms of the fitness industry. Our goal is to make fitness education more accessible by addressing gaps in traditional fitness certification curricula, which often relies on: anti-fat, ableist, and gendered language. 

Here you can view the growing lists of essential readings that are part of the DFU library!
