On a Positive Note: How Women Ascended to the Forefront of Fitness Training
In this week's edition of 'On a Positive Note,' Cheddar News is highlighting women athletic trainers. In an industry that in inundated and oversaturated with male representation, the industry is budding for women. "As a woman, coming into a fitness club such as Lifetime [Fitness] and seeing another female, especially a female training, it can be very inspiring," Samantha Harris, Lifetime Fitness trainer, said.
Brazilian actress and writer Suzana Pires spoke with Cheddar News about her nonprofit for women, how Sharon Stone wrote a foreword in her new book and what it's like being a telenovela star in Latin America.
Melissa Marra-Alvarez, curator of education and research, and Elizabeth Way, associate curator of costume, both with the Museum at The Fashion Institute of Technology, joined Cheddar News to discuss how food and food culture impact fashion.
