I’m always looking for new accounts to fill my Instagram feed, but I’ve grown weary of all those “must follow” lists in magazines and around the web. Any Insta-account worth my time and yours should have better follow-criteria than just a huge audience, celeb-trainer bragging rights, and/or a grid of semi-naked selfies all taken with the same pose. (Please stop! Please. It’s boring.)

A lot of us would much rather follow social fitness pros and brands that might just follow us back and maybe even interact with a genuine comment or empowering emoji—happy face, strong arm, #GreatToMeetYou! (BTW, I’m at @amandavogelfitness.)

Here’s a shortlist of folks worth following, and why. There are no silly butt-centric selfies and no judgy memes in the name of health. Instead, you’ll find eye-catching Insta-pics, motivational messages and inspiring exercises from ACE Certified Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors, fitness influencers with something smart to say, and companies making a positive difference in the industry. Let’s all double-tap to that.

@acefitness

ACE’s account lives up to its mission to get people moving: There’s plenty of activity-based, eye-pleasing photography, especially scenic outdoor shots with get-up-and-go messaging. You’ll also find well-crafted motivational memes to inspire both you and your clients. Feel free to repost!

@samiskow

ACE Spokesperson Jessica Matthews posts beautifully colorful photography with a particular focus on yoga inspiration and education. The images of her uplifting oceanfront yoga classes are not to be missed! You’ll also see behind-the-scenes snapshots from recent photos shoots and DVD filmings, including for ACE.

@fitoutfit

A flatlay is a photo that shows various items carefully assembled for your viewing pleasure. From this account, the flatlays display fashionable activewear and workout shoes from a range of brands. The purpose? Fitness motivation though fashion without the pressure of having to live up to expectations about looking uber-ripped. Account creator Jerilyn Jones is going for the “no judgment” approach: “We don’t care how toned your abs, butt or triceps are—we just want to see your dope outfit!”

@fitwvic

@greatist

As their profile proclaims, “Find what’s good for you.” And you will, from health hacks to food porn. Greatist also builds a strong Insta-community with reposts from followers and staff. Kudos to them for counteracting all the body-shaming on social with their own body-positive messages. A recent meme: “There is no wrong way to have a body. – Glenn Marla”
