Pala.pala.pala has her daughters fully naked body on her instagram stories. If everyone can report, please do. I just did..
Just reported it. How awful for that little girl! I reported the story and the reported her account. These parents need to stop posting this kinda stuff and start doing a better job at protecting their children!

What do we think about Taylah Davies the other half of James Smith (he of course has a seperate thread). She’s now trying to sell PT stuff as well and I’ve seen comments about her being a great role model for girls, but I also read somewhere that she trains like twice a day and tries to go for a run whenever she can. I think that’s excessive and not role model behaviour. Not to mention her body large is like 0% which again isn’t great for a role model
Not excessive for a professional athlete. She’s paid to be fit and can spend all day every day training. I’d be more likely to take fitness advice from her than other wannabe fitness experts on the gram.

It’s not a good idea to train that much though and it’s completely unsustainable for the average person, not to mention almost completely unachievable for most people to get the same results. Does she have the qualifications to give the advice or does she just have the body of someone who people think knows what they’re talking about?

OMG I had no idea they were together! I’m shocked LOL as I’ve always thought she is lovely and I think James is a tool. I don’t follow her but “know” her though my involvement with SSN netball. Not to WK but she’s an ex-elite athlete having played professional netball and AFLW and has been a trainer on the really successful NetFit program for years so she is qualified and knows her stuff unlike many influencers who have no experience at all. I’ve done some of her sessions on the NetFit app and she was really good. She’s also done work with a lot of young netballers around nutrition, well-being and fitness so I wouldn’t be concerned about her being a poor role model (apart from her choice in men 🤣).

Looks like she’s targeting her services to people who want to improve athletic performance, not average people wanting to shift some kgs. Testimonials on her page are about using her services to get selected into a top rep team etc.

Yeah so is she actually qualified to give advice on fitness and/or nutrition? Her website doesn’t make it clear but being an athlete or in the health and fitness online space doesn’t make you *actually* qualified to write programs for people or train them.

Have you looked at her site? She doesn’t give nutrition advice, she’s purely giving performance training- not weight loss, not general get fit programs. And absolutely she could get a 6 week certificate and call herself qualified, but I think 10 years as a professional athlete would be, for me, enough. But each to their own.

I get that she could be good training athletes, but obviously advertising on Instagram will attract the young girls that think a six pack is the goal (and will get you an influencer boyfriend who flies you around the world first class 😆). Is she still a professional athlete? If so, sure then lots of training is standard. But I still think that impressionable non athletes will read her training schedule and think “oh that’s what I need to do”.
think I’m also biased because I know someone that met her and said she’s very arrogant, which are the vibes I get to be honest. Overall it just feels like James has encouraged her to jump on thebandwagon

Yeah I have, but again there’s actually more to being for example a personal trainer or fitness instructor than just exercising yourself. And I mentioned “and/or nutrition” because a lot of influencers in that area try to do both, and you can’t give nutrition advice unless you are dietitian or a nutritionist (who is not the same as a dietitian). Unfortunately a lot of unqualified people have taken it upon themselves to make fitness programs and meal plans and become “life coaches” online. Professional athletes don’t do it all themselves, they have trainers/coaches and so on- a team of qualified accredited professionals working with them. Sorry this pisses me off because this is the area I worked in and studied for a long time in and it’s concerning to see how many people just slap a few pages of an e book together and film themselves doing some squats and call themselves experts.

Like Sarah’s Day giving all the terrible advice and triggering eating disorders and body dysmorphia with her programs and unhealthy af lifestyle.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if she's addicted to tanning. That leathery skin is just 🤢. And the jutting hip bone!

Never mind the "cancer diagnosis", for someone so obsessed with their appearance I'm surprised she's so unbothered about her skin looking like a manky leather sofa.
Did she have skin cancer?

Gross. But it’s all just to show off how skinny she is. And she claims she is over her ED through massages and saunas 🤮

I don’t know who that tanning woman is but OMG doesn’t she know that tanned brown skin means the skin is madly trying to protect itself and will get leathery and hard like a hand bag.
Brown skin is badly damaged skin.
Cancer risk sky rockets.
She is so dumb.

I thought she sounded familiar and it was because she played for the NSW Swifts (state netball) and also now plays for the GWS Giants (netball also). I don’t think that sounds unreasonable as well seeing as she is a professional athlete. Interesting she is dating James Smith though.

She’s obsessed with tanning and sharing how skinny she is.

I feel like she needs her own thread but I don’t know how to make one!
