We are an international team of researchers based across different regions, countries, and cultural contexts. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we share a common commitment to understanding women’s experiences of fitness, sport, and physical activity in contemporary society.

Our work is grounded in sport sociology, feminist scholarship, and critical health research. This project brings together researchers who are not only academically engaged with these questions, but also deeply enthusiastic about collaborative, cross-cultural inquiry. By working across contexts, we aim to generate knowledge that is globally informed, locally meaningful, and supportive of more inclusive and caring approaches to fitness and wellbeing.
