These days it’s easy to turn to social media for the latest on what’s happening in our big, beautiful world; it’s no surprise of course! Where else can you get up-to-the-second updates on your favorite celeb's vacation, or your best friend’s latest Insta-worthy Buddha bowl?!
Social media gives us opportunities to connect with people across the globe, come together on important social issues, and of course, be inspired to make a change. This is also true when it comes to our own personal fitness. Do a quick Google search and you’re sure to find many hashtags that’ll connect you with people that will inspire you to get in shape and feel your best self (#fitstagram and #fitfam are just two that come to mind).
With so many fitness gurus out there offering helpful advice and tips, it can be hard to decide which ones to follow to get the most inspiration.
To help you cut through the noise, we’d like to introduce you to just three of our favorite fitness gurus you need to follow. These ladies embody the TruSelf mission, and are wonderful inspirations for anyone seeking to make a change in their fitness and lifestyle.
Fit Mama & Entrepreneur: Chontel Duncan
We love this down-to-earth, vegetarian Australian! Not only does Chontel influence people all over the world with her fitness routines and healthy eating, she is also the founder of HIIT Australia, a chain of four gyms inspired by Muay Thai Kickboxing. This busy mama (who’s currently pregnant with her second child, mind you!) shares inspiring stories throughout her “fit pregnancy” journeys. Chontel remained true to her fans and self by opening up about some complications with the birth of her son in 2016. This is part of the reason we love Chontel so much, even after going through such an emotional event, she still felt the need to open up about it and share her experience with her followers.

Fitness Lifestyle Expert: Paige Hathaway
Hailing from small town Minnesota, Paige is an entrepreneur, fitness cover model, and motivational speaker. What we especially love about this beauty is her dedication to her followers on Instagram (4m strong). You’ll see her regularly interacting with them and encouraging them to take part in the community she’s grown, like that time she asked them to name the squats she was doing. As you’ll see, there’s humor throughout Paige’s feed; but don’t be fooled...this lady is serious about her fitness! This is shown through the incredible transformations she helps her clients achieve. We can’t forget to mention of course that she takes great care of her skin, keeping it “fresh and glowing” with our Detoxifying Mask.

International Yogi: Rachel Brathen
Rachel Brathen, or Yoga Girl, as she’s known on Instagram is an all-around superstar. We don’t say that lightly either. While you might find yourself with a serious case of wanderlust after seeing the amazing photos she shares of life in Aruba. This lady is all about keeping it real and is first to acknowledge that social media has a way of making things seem rosier than they are as she shared in this article with the Telegraph. As an activist for self care, you’ll find this new mum spreading positivity and love through her posts. A recent favorite of ours is her “lessons from a four-month-old” post which is sure to bring a happy tear to your eye!
