I Can See Your Underwear: My Journey Through the Fitness World

By Amanda Sterczyk

The fitness industry promised her a "new body." Instead, she found the naked truth about the business of exercise.

Think the fitness world is all glamorous selfies and effortless transformations? Think again. In I Can See Your Underwear, author and personal trainer Amanda Sterczyk pulls back the spandex curtain to reveal the humorous, messy, and sometimes cringeworthy reality of life as a fitness professional.

After jumping into a third career in fitness at age 40, Amanda quickly realized that the "bikini body" marketing she'd been sold was a far cry from the daily grind of entrepreneurship. From teaching classes in living rooms to dealing with "exposure bucks" and the literal hazards of the job-like the burst pipe that turned a studio into a swimming pool-this memoir is a frank and funny exploration of what happens when your "passion project" meets the real world.

Inside this refreshing and relatable memoir, you'll discover:

The "Dirty Secrets" of Fitness: Why "Exercise is Medicine" isn't always the answer-especially when you're teaching through the flu because there are no paid sick days.

Entrepreneurial Realities: The exhausting "hustle" of being a solopreneur, from social media burnout to the awkwardness of chasing down payments in the middle of a class.

Body Image & Acceptance: A candid look at the pressure to "look the part" and the journey from punishing workouts to finding joy in simple, everyday movement.

Laugh-Out-Loud Anecdotes: The true story behind the title (yes, someone really did say that in class ) and other "ISLAGIAT" (It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time) moments.

Whether you're a fitness junkie, a weekend warrior, a fellow instructor, or someone who just wants to "move more," Amanda's story is a breath of fresh air. It's a conversation with a friend that will leave you laughing, nodding in agreement, and perhaps most importantly, listening to your own body.
