Weight-Lifting Influencers Coaching on Social

Fitness influencers are all over social media. Some are cycle influencers, some preach the important of counting your macros, and others share general body weight workouts. Then there are the ones that focus specifically on ways to build muscle, to gain strength, and to tone your physique. Weight-lifting influencers talk specifically about the proper form of a deadlift, exercises for glute growth, or the fundamentals of increasing weight in your workouts, whether that be with a kettlebell, barbell, or dumbbell. 

These influencers not only promote health and wellness for their audiences, but share industry-related products and services with their built-in trusted community. Working with influencers like these could be a big win for your fitness, lifestyle or wellness brand.
