Instagram is absolutely bursting with sources of inspiration to get us to the gym, but sometimes that's not all we're looking for. We decided to explore a little further and have hand-picked our favourite 15 influencers.
They are just as obsessed with fitness fashion and athleisure as they are with, you know, actually exercising. Some of these girls are dance instructors, personal trainers, mama's-to-be, but most importantly, they are all fabulous women doing it for themselves.
Soul Sisters, and actual sisters Alex and Maddy Weaver are the face of Adidas Studio LDN. Reigning queens of self care and glamorous gym wear, both girls are decked head to toe in bright, clean-cut outfits that are timeless. If you’re looking for style that’s outside of the box, they’ve got you covered.
