There's a beforeand-after photo of Kelsey Wells that keeps doing the rounds online – and it's made the Sweat trainer livid. On the left is her at 24, before she discovered fitness as “a tool for selfempowerment”, and on the right, a shredded version of herself at 30. The reason she's so mad? Her photos have been stolen to promote toxic quick-fixes – the same ones she's spoken out against her whole career.
It's also the very same messaging the 33-year-old trainer has spent years personally healing from. “It's disheartening,” she tells WH of the diet pills, waist trainers and skinny teas that her stolen photos were used to promote. “Your body is not broken; you shouldn't be seeking a quick fix. In health and wellness, it's unfortunate it's still marketed that way in so many instances, when the emphasis should be on caring for your health.”
