By I am a huge — emphasis on huge — fan of Instagram workouts. They’re easy-to-follow routines I can find and save for later (you wouldn’t believe the number of ab and booty videos I have on deck). When it comes to the trainers who post these helpful guides, you probably know household names like Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Alexia Clark, and Jillian Michaels. But, I wanted to do some digging to find certified trainers you may not have heard of yet, depending on how well-versed you are in the realm of Instagram workouts.
I’m a firm believer in the fact that you can never have too many options for exercise straight from qualified professionals with a solid following on social media — you just need to know where to look. These trainers, all females in the fitness industry, post kick-butt workouts you can do at the gym or at home with the right equipment (though some require no equipment at all!). Plus, they’re kick-butt women, too. Check them out ahead!
We’ve featured Bailey on POPSUGAR before (exhibit A). The majority of the workouts she posts take place in the gym with weights — there’s this dumbbell-only back and biceps routine and this barbell-only glutes leg day routine — but, she does have workouts you can do anywhere. Take this 30-minute HIIT circuit featuring plank shoulder taps, burpees, and jump squats, for instance. Her videos are ones I save often (aka, every day).

Ajahzi’s workout videos also focus on specific muscle groups — so, she’ll have one dedicated to quads and glutes, then post about shoulders, chest, and triceps next. She also dives into her own progress following the guides she’s created for clients.
