Because these people have actually discovered what some of us are still struggling to find out. 

Going through this article you’ll realize how much fun it can be to follow a fitness routine. It would be hard in the beginning but these fitness influencers you need to follow to get inspired had it hard too. So if they can do it why can’t you? Like Ranveer Allahbadia( @beerbiceps) once quoted in one seminar, ”The process of fitness teaches you the process of executing ideas in your life. And, if your mind is trained with constant fitness, it will be trained for life too.” Well, it might sound filmy but this guy is not joking. It’s right that we do need to train our minds. And fitness is the key to it. 

Now you call it a trend or need of the hour, but these fitness freaks have influenced thousands of their followers so far. Be it a fitness routine or to execute a start-up, their social media posts are good for your daily dose. 

To begin with, fitness influencers you need to follow to get inspired, we have at the top of the list:

She is a three-time national champion of the 200 meters race (2001-03). And so far represented Maharashtra for almost 17 years. She met with an accident and got injured just when she was about to participate in the Olympics. That injury changed her life and way of seeing it. But her spirit for Running never changed. She started the project “‘FitGirl” in 2016. In which, she educates young girls of Government schools in Mumbai about the importance of sports and movement in life. Her Love for athletics made her willing to write a book and share her experiences. Thus she authored the book ‘Run‘. 

Now she works as a fitness coach and movement specialist in Mumbai. 

Anupriya Kapur

Single mother survived the post-partum depression and turned to be the ”Insta Mom”. It might sound too dramatic. But Anupriya is a perfect example of a successful single mother. How did she do it? Well, I am sure you checked her Instagram profile already. If so, then you might know by now. In one of her interviews with a fashion magazine, she shared her battle with post-pregnancy stress. In her battle, a major part was played by her never missed out workout routine. And the way she followed a healthy diet to support the work done in the gym. She often posts her fitness and wellness videos on her YouTube channel and Instagram page.  She is not only a fitness influencer but as well as a fashion model. Which defines her strong will build-up by keeping her body fit and healthy.

Ranveer Allahbadia

Speaking of fitness influencing we just can’t miss this name. Before being a motivational speaker, Youtuber, and entrepreneur, Ranveer was just a fitness freak. But now standing at more than 3 million subscribers on YouTube, he is a big inspiration to the young generation which is confused and distracted. He is the founder and CEO of beer biceps and co-founder of monk entertainment. So far he has interviewed Priyanka Chopra, Ayushmann Khurrana, Shilpa Shetty, and more on The Ranveer Show. 

Gaurav Taneja

There is nothing he hasn’t done. Despite being a Civil Engineer from IIT Kharagpur, he is the captain of the Indigo flying team. Also, He is a National pro athlete (IBBF), and a fitness coach. Although, it almost sums up everything about him. But on top of everything, he is a proud father. And certainly deserves to be known as a flying beast on social media. At present, he is famous for his vlogs on YouTube and Instagram. He manages two YouTube channels one is fit muscle tv and another is flying beast. Both have millions of followers as he keeps his audience updated with the latest video each day. 

Natasha Noel 

Natasha Noel is not just a fitness influencer, she inspires millions when she shares the battles she fought to survive. To coup with the suicide, her mother did, and her father being diagnosed with schizophrenia and moreover the child abuse she faced in her early childhood. She needed to be mentally strong. And thus she started working on her body and mind.

Undoubtedly, it ended up in good results. 

Sonali Swami

The Asian bronze medalist, Mom, Bodybuilder, Sonali Swami is the woman of substance. Breaking all the stereotypes of being a woman and a mother with six-pack abs, she is just getting younger each day. Although she was chubby at 29, she got into weight training at 40. And, worked hard to get a body that a strong woman would definitely desire these days. Thus,  you can certainly follow her fitness regime to get those six-pack abs that you could only dream of. It’s not bad to have a muscle trainer, isn’t it? 

Zareen Siddique

Zareen is a certified yoga trainer. And loves to run every once in a while. Also, she is an amazing nutritionist, who doesn’t believe in cutting down any food supplement to get fit or thin. Her dietary advice can surely help you to work on your food habits.  She is quite active on social media to spread awareness of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, I couldn’t miss her out on this list of fitness influencers to follow to get inspired.

Deepika Mehta

She met with an accident when she was rock climbing in 1998. That was the time she lost all hopes as the doctors suggested she can hardly walk again. But during her visits to her physician, she saw her trainer doing Ashtanga Asana, and that inspired her. That moment was a turn around as she was then pulled towards yoga practice. Then she discovered different types of asanas. Traveled all the way down to the Kerela and stayed in an Ashrama to practicing yoga as she worshiped it.

Which helped her to become more flexible and mentally healthy altogether. 

As a result of all her hard work and dedication, she is quite an experienced and professional yoga trainer for various clients now.

On top of everything, she is a wonderful single parent of one. 

Mandira Bedi

Mandira Bedi is a TV actress and quite famous for her role in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.  She has hosted some well-known TV shows as well such as CID, Indian idol, and so on. Being in the acting career she tried to be slim and fit as much as she could. And thus, her fitness regime was never based on muscle building. How it could be? After all, in our society which we even see in our movies and serials, a woman is not the one who shows the sick pack abs, right!

Well, For the last few years, Mandira has been that woman. And it’s amazing how your physical health changes your perception of life. She adopted a girl child after she became the mother of a son. Now she is a mother of two but always manages to work out and follow her fitness routine.

Considering the positive changes that occurred in her life since she became a fitness enthusiast, she certainly deserves to be on this list. 

Milind Soman

Ahh, this man! The sexiest man we have ever seen. He never gets old, does he? Milind Soman has played several roles in Bollywood movies. And he is an Indian supermodel and film producer. He recently played the role of a doctor in Four More Shots Please!  Which was hugely admired by the audience (female audience I’d say). He has participated in various social cause marathons, as his love for a run never gets old just like him. So if one asks him what physical activity he’d like to see everyone do, he’d definitely say running.

When you stay fit you live by a perspective that is more unbiased and holistic. Milind has recently posted an image on his social media accounts in which he was running naked alongside a beach on his 55th birthday. This incident was the second time after his marriage when he came into the highlight. The first time was then when he got married to his girlfriend almost half of his age. It’s not all, but if you want to know more about his journey so far you may read the book Made In India: A Memoir.

The book is about the transition from being a celebrity to a fitness enthusiast. 

Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty Kundra has never been unfit even when she was just a newbie in her acting career. She is an amazing actress, producer, dancer, yoga trainer, and fitness enthusiast. And the biggest initiative she has taken so far was to launch a fitness app for those who face trouble in tracking their fitness regime. When she launched the holistic app named as her own name, she mentioned that the app is for everyone. In the app, there are fitness trackers for pregnant women and for women who suffer from cramps. And on top of that, there are nutrition charts or diet charts provided along with the particular fitness regime. 

Being a mother of two small kids, she is a businesswoman too. But if you want to know how the hell she is managing it all. You already know the answer!

Radhika Bose

Radhika Bose quit her job as a video editor, in a reputed corporate firm. So, she could become a full-time yoga trainer. Thus, the followers she already had because of her video editing posts. She used them to share her experiences and inspire others to follow a healthy lifestyle. Also, she has been on TED talks too where she was invited to share her part of the struggle in becoming what she is now. 

She used her social media account to reach out to people, both on Instagram and YouTube. Always ready to share her new yoga poses, no matter when and where. It is so obvious that to her followers she is Yogasini.

We all agree with the fact, that an idea is nothing until or unless we work on it with discipline. In the same way, your fitness works. Because we are human and feel easy to cheat a schedule or routine. We do need a reminder that keeps us going. So maybe this time as a reminder you can add some fitness freaks to your following list.
