Portal Claims Most Fitness Training Destroys Movement Quality Despite Building Muscle

What was said

"Where did we move? To a ridiculous situation where our athletes are learning and are inspired by the fitness people instead of the fitness people be learning and be inspired by the athletes, the movement people. Boxers training like fitness people. They're fitness athletes. They're not boxers these days. Why? Social media."

Portal attacked modern fitness culture, arguing that gym-based training produces low-quality movement patterns that high-level athletes and dancers immediately recognize as inferior. He blamed social media for inverting the learning hierarchy, with professional athletes now copying fitness influencers rather than vice versa, resulting in robotic, aesthetically impressive but functionally limited bodies.
