Intro
So, you want some fitness inspo that isn’t just the same tired treadmill selfies and protein shake ads? Look, these seven influencers aren’t just “fitspo”—they’re literally changing the game. Whether you’re a gym rat, stretching on your yoga mat, or just thinking about moving off the couch, there’s someone here who’ll speak your language. Let’s get into it (and, c’mon, maybe actually get moving after).
- Kayla Itsines: Literally Running the (Women’s) Fitness World
Kayla’s got, what, almost 16 million followers? No big deal, right? Her Bikini Body Guides and the Sweat app are basically the bible for women’s HIIT. If you haven’t seen her on Pinterest or Instagram, do you even scroll? Forbes put her on their “top fitness influencer” list, and honestly, it tracks. She’s all about getting women moving, feeling strong, and actually enjoying it—no shame, just sweat.
- Jen Selter: The Original Queen of the Booty Selfie
Remember when fitness on Instagram wasn’t even a thing? Jen Selter made it a thing. She basically invented the viral booty workout, and now her 13.6 million followers can’t get enough. She’s got tips for days—workouts, snacks, life hacks. Tagshop called her a fitness empire builder, and they’re not wrong. You see “fitness motivation” on Pinterest? That’s her vibe. Jump in, even if you’re a total newbie.
- Simeon Panda: Dude’s Built Like a Marvel Hero
Simeon’s not just some guy with abs—he’s a freaking force. 7.9 million followers and counting, Forbes calling him top ten, and he owns “Just Lift,” which is honestly the perfect name. His feed is pure motivation—workout vids, bodybuilding tips, the whole nine yards. Search “bodybuilding tips” on Google, and boom, there he is. If you’re looking for an excuse to skip leg day, don’t look at his page.
- Whitney Simmons: All the Positivity, None of the BS
Whitney’s the one you want if you’re tired of toxic fitness. She’s got 4 million followers and the ALIVE app, but it’s her energy that gets people hooked. Body positivity? She’s got it. Strength training? All day. She’s teamed up with Gymshark and is literally everywhere on Pinterest for “body-positive workouts.” Good vibes only, but she’ll still make you sweat.
- Sam Sulek: Gen Z’s Favorite Gym Bro (But Real)
Sam isn’t your average flex-on-YouTube dude. He’s got 3.26 million subscribers, and his whole thing is being brutally honest about the “ego-lifting” grind. He’s not hiding the awkward parts or the fails. Billo Blog shouted him out for being real, and you can tell—he’s not selling dreams, just showing the journey. If you want proof that you don’t need to fake it, Sam’s your guy.
- Cassey Ho: Making Workouts Fun Again (Yes, Seriously)
If you haven’t tried Blogilates, what have you even been doing? Cassey Ho is the queen of creative, easy-to-follow workouts that actually make you want to move. She’s got over 2 million Insta fans, won all the awards, and genuinely cares about body positivity. “Home workouts” trending on Pinterest? That’s mostly her fault. Grab a mat and don’t be surprised if you’re actually smiling mid-burn.
- Jeanette Jenkins: The Trainer Celebs Actually Listen To
Jeanette’s not just a trainer—she’s the Hollywood Trainer. Pink, Alicia Keys, and a bunch more trust her to get them moving. Her approach is all about mixing cardio, strength, and, yeah, some mindfulness stuff, too. Smart Health Clubs love her body-positive takes, and her “holistic fitness” tips are big on Insta. If you want the whole package—mind, body, and maybe a little soul—Jeanette’s for you.
