7 Best Female Fitness Instagram accounts in 2023

1. Kayla Itsines

Of course Kayla had to make it to the top. From her Bikini Body Guides, to her Sweat app, she’s pretty much taken over the world as a female fitness influencer. And her Instagram is one of the most popular out there, with more than  12.7 million in 2022, she’s racked up another million for 23, with 13.9 Million to her name at the beginning of the year!! Wowzers.

As far as fitness girls on Instagram go, not only is she dominating the game, she’s also super empowering too. She’s travelled the world training and inspiring women across the globe to get up and sweat.

Also, since rising to Instagram fame and launching her workout app Sweat, she’s become one of the wealthiest women in Australia and the world. On top of all this, she also regularly uploads great inspirational content, workouts and food snaps too (not to mention some cute doggo pics too!).

Aside from being one of our favorite female fitness influencers, we appreciate Kayla for being a general girl boss. There’s lots to be inspired about when it comes to her, so give her a follow and see for yourself what all the hype is about.

2. FitGurlMel

When it comes to finding fitness girls, instagram has trainers aplenty. So how do you know you’re following a really amazing account?

Well, ever heard of a little known celebrity called Kim Kardashian? Yeah we thought so. Well, @Fitgurlmel, or Melissa Alcantara is her trainer! Not only is she responsible for perfecting one of the most famous peaches in the world, she’s also got a pretty incredible transformation story herself.

Although once she wasn’t really into fitness at all, she’s completely transformed herself, and her career. And, apparently, it was Mel’s transformation story that made Kim K get in touch and ask her for her training expertise.

Unlike many female fitness influencers who only want to show themselves at their very best, Mel often shares pictures of herself before her transformation and talks about the changes she made both physically and mentally to get to where she is today and we LOVE it.

So, if you’re after some inspiration, booty workouts or some incredible morning oats recipes, Mel is your gurl.

In recent years, Grace Beverley has taken the female fitness Instagram world by storm. Originally starting out as a fitness fanatic herself, she quickly rose to fame as an influencer and has since then reeled off a string of super successful (and effective!) products.

From her booty-growing workout plans, she progressed on to her own resistance bands, and now she’s the founder and director of TALA, a sustainable clothing brand, B_ND, her exercise bands, and Shreddy, her workout programs.

She’s also vegan, so if any of you plant based ladies out there are looking for some inspo, she’s got you covered with all kinds of dishes. While her Instagram isn’t totally focussed on fitness anymore, she’s still a fantastic female fitness influencer to have on your feed.
