Ever wonder how some people can find the motivation to get up at 5 a.m. and hit the gym while you can’t even keep both eyes open until after two cups of coffee? The secret lies with the following motivators, fitness trainers, and gurus. Double-tapping counts as cardio, right?

Chris taps into the most important body part of all: the mind. With mental motivation and her Get Healthy U, getting schooled in the art of fitness is a cinch. Also: healthful recipes that don’t taste like cardboard.
Wendy Ida

We hear it all the time: “It’s never too late.” But only after scrolling through Wendy Ida’s feed do we actually believe it. A superstar bodybuilder at 65, she didn’t even get started on her rock-solid regimen until 43.
Rhonda Layton

You’ve got the equipment but not the motivation. Enter Rhonda, a proud mama, and empowerment coach whose feed is your guide to meal prep, fitness, and a positive lifestyle. “Help me Rhonda,” indeed.
Jill Brown

HIIT, TRX, 2XU: not just a string of meaningless all-caps to you? Then you want Jill. She’s a whiz when it comes to curing sore muscles, stocking supplements, and making creatine go down like Kool-Aid.
Tracy Anderson

Behind many a chiseled celeb is a method developed by Tracy Anderson. Here, you get the intel into what makes the fitness pioneer tick (hint: It’s pizza) and can even steal a few of her moves.
Tracy Acock

Aging is inevitable. Though it’s by no means a flaw, it is a very personal journey to self-acceptance. Tracy knows this, celebrates it, and floods her feed with the effects of it. Best version of you, here you come.
Ramona Braganza

Ramona’s purpose goes beyond workouts vids (although there are those, too) and training Hollywood’s most familiar faces; she started 321Empower, a program that teaches fitness to women rescued from human trafficking in India.
Tania Dalton

Fitness inspiration doesn’t have to be all gym selfies and WODs. It can be snaps of sunset cycling, amateur surfing, and lakeside Ironman training. This Aussie takes her training outdoors, and you’ll love every captured moment.
Lorraine Cladish

Life’s curveballs are really just reasons to do yoga, meditate, and watch funny movies. At least that’s the case for Lorraine, a mom, writer, yogi, and now just the inspiration you need to perfect the mermaid pose.
Mandy Ingber

Mandy’s account is like the intersection of entertainment and yoga. A former Cheers actress, she’s traded the small screen for a yogalosophy that taps into inner and outer strength.
Kacy Duke
https://www.instagram.com/p/BWBrWoUgewU/?taken-by=kacyduke
Get off the scale. And into the mindset that you can’t put a number on how you feel. That’s the gist of Kacy’s mantra. She’s a celeb trainer whose recent focus is on getting that midsection swimsuit ready.
Julie Diamond
https://www.instagram.com/p/BeYHnWlDP2G/?taken-by=juliediamondfitness
If there’s anyone who can cure your fear of those dreaded kettlebells, it’s Julie. A trainer and life coach, she’s pro-weights and just the motivation to get you off that elliptical and swinging that bell.
Jill Miller
https://www.instagram.com/p/Be3YmdfhH8H/?taken-by=tuneupfitness
This account has balls: Courageous balls, therapy balls, punny balls. Better yet: Jill, the founder of Tune Up Fitness, shows you how to use them to relieve pain, enhance gut health, and improve posture.
Davina McCall

Sometimes you just need someone to tell you to “put away that magazine and work harder.” You get that from Davina, a fitness guru with a six-pack for days. Want new kitchen favorites? She’s got those, too.
