Seems to me a significant part of the fitness community is women. I know more than a few who are into rock climbing, weight-lifting, crossfit, Yoga, hiking, skiing, very healthy eating (with wildly varied diets) etc.
Now, it may just be the nature of my social network, but not a single one of them is MAGA.

There's someone I follow on IG who might be a good example of a MAGA fitness guy. He's never hawked vitamins or supplements, he works a union job, and he supports environmental protection (though it's unclear how much of a role he thinks the government should have in that, or if he understands how much the government is needed in that). So theoretically, he should be a winnable voter for Democrats. But he's also complained that Democrats want too much government regulation (not sure how that jives with his support for environmental protection, but nobody ever said that American voters were consistent). And he appears to legitimately believe Trump when Trump claimed he wouldn't interfere with abortion rights in states where it's legal.
And unfortunately for us, this guy lives in Pennsylvania, and in a hotly contested swing district there as well. So his vote really has an impact.
Way too many Americans have this massive disconnect where they want things to happen, but they don't understand that government rules and regulations are the only way to actually make those things happen.
Possibly. That said a lot of the тАЬwellnessтАЭ world thatтАЩs women focused is also kind of grift adjacent. Essential oils, тАЬnaturalтАЭ ingredients, etc. a lot of it isnтАЩt wrong but a lot of it is snake oil-y and itтАЩs often a gateway drug to RFK/Nicole Shanahan contrarianism
