About Eqweighty Training
Weight Discrimination and Weight Inclusivity
Weight discrimination is the inequitable treatment of people based on their weight and body size and is widespread within many aspects of everyday life, including healthcare, education, work and travel. Approximately 88% of people classed as ‘obese/overweight’ describe experiencing some form of discrimination because of their weight. Weight discrimination raises cortisol levels, leads to disordered eating, weight cycling and withdrawal from services.
Weight inclusive approaches actively ensure services, spaces and activities are welcoming and accessible for everyone of every body size.
At Eqweighty Training, we support practitioners and organisations in a range of fields to recognise and mitigate against weight discrimination in their practice through a range of training options.
We provide evidence-based, reflective and solutions-driven training around weight discrimination which can be tailored to your individual and/or organisation's needs and priorities. Our training provides space for discussion of feasible actions to begin embedding weight inclusive approaches to your work.
We provide certificates of completion which can be used as evidence of CPD engagement.

Eqweighty Training are currently developing e-learning modules which will be available from mid-2026. Our core e-learning module, ‘Weight Discrimination in Healthcare’, is informed by the latest research and best practice in the field. It is designed to provide a broad understanding of weight discrimination in healthcare, through the use of case studies and directed activities which encourage users to reflect on their own practice and to test their acquired knowledge.
In addition to our core e-learning module, we are developing specialist e-learning modules for nurses and midwives. This will also be launched in mid-2026.
-
We run two-hour workshops which can be held online or in-person. Each workshop is facilitated by a member of the Eqweighty Training team and can accommodate between 5-30 people. Our workshops are interactive with activities that support self-reflection and discussion. There are lots of opportunities to engage with case studies and lived experiences. Our workshops provide you with real world strategies to address unconscious weight discrimination that you can use right away in your own practice.
