By participating in the everyday life of fitness professionals, gym-goers and bodybuilders, The Global Gym explores fitness centres as sites of learning. The authors consider how physical, psychological and cultural knowledge about health and the body is incorporated into people's identity in a local and global gym and fitness context.

Jesper Andreasson is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Thomas Johansson is Professor of Education at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. His publications include The Transformation of Sexuality (2007) and Young Migrants (2012) co-authored with K. Fangen and N. Hammarén.
