For the holistic approach to fitness:
With over 15 million Instagram followers, Kayla’s Instagram account is filled with motivating workout videos, healthy recipes, and aspirational posts to kickstart her follower’s fitness goals.

Her signature high-intensity workout coined Bikini Body Guide (BBG), combines intense interval training (HIIT) and resistance training to build a strong, toned, healthy body rather than focussing solely on losing weight.

For the toned bod babes:
Slim, toned bodies are what Rachael helps Aussie women achieve through her Instagram low-intensity cardio workouts, resistant training and a healthy (but no less delicious) diet.
Her workouts, all shared on her Instagram page, focus on building and maintaining strength, whilst toning the body and staying lean.
When Rachael started working out, no one understood why she wanted to keep her body lean and slim down whilst staying fit and toned, so she created her own program.
Rachael’s program combines fitness and wellness to deliver results for her clients in her lean legs program, flat tummy program, glutes, abs, and legs program.
She also regularly posts her clients before and after pics to motivate new followers or workout newbies achieve their fitness goals.

Jenna’s very own program is promoted across her page, showcasing the holistic elements of fitness, with a tailored meal plan, workout program customised to client’s unique needs, and step-by-step exercise video guides.
The program is centred on a mindset first approach, swearing off quick-fixes and fad diets to invite clients to push themselves to reach their full potential ‘in the gym and in life’.
