Instagram is a place to find photos, but it’s also a place to find tips and inspiration to living a healthier life. Individuals, organizations, and even a few corporations offer posts with impressive weightlifting, good meal and supplement suggestions, fitness goals and suggestions, and plenty of examples of the body types you might have if you take your fitness training seriously. The following Instagram accounts are all good options if you want to use your account to inspire you to lose fat and gain muscle.
1. @therock
There’s only one Rock worth following on Instagram, and it’s the one named Dwayne Johnson. People know him for his wrestling career and Hollywood movies. But the thing that helped him start both careers was a dedication to fitness you can see in his massive biceps and deltoids.
Johnson uses his Instagram account to share his social life and promote whatever he’s up to at the moment, but he also uploads plenty of photos from the time he spends at the gym. He often uses these photos to promote fitness equipment and discuss his workout routine.
2. @thorbjornsson
Few things can inspire a weightlifter like the 2018 World’s Strongest Man. Thor Björnsson plays Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane on “Game of Thrones. ” While playing the mute warrior isn’t the toughest acting job on the show, Björnsson has to work hard every day to maintain the physique that landed him the job.
Unsurprisingly, his Instagram account has plenty of images and discussions about the kinds of weights he lifts, the meets he goes to where he tests his strength, and the kinds of supplements he uses.
3. @donsaladino
Don Saladino is a fitness trainer who turns Hollywood actors into superheroes. You can see the results of his work in movies like “Deadpool” (Ryan Reynolds) and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (Sebastian Stan).
As you might imagine, Saladino specializes in turning people who don’t always take fitness seriously into serious bodybuilders. His Instagram account includes some of the exercises he recommends and the many the ways he builds confidence and motivation in the people he trains. He also posts some fun and random stuff if you’re looking for a change of pace.
4. @amwayus
Amway sells a variety of health and beauty products, including plenty that works well for men who are serious about their health and fitness. Along with plugging their products, Amway’s posts offer tips on how to use their products and what kinds of foods and supplements are good for your health. On top of that, their captions are all bilingual in Spanish, so it’s a nice option for anyone who’s better at reading that language.
5. @menshealthmag
Amway isn’t the only company out there offering useful health and workout tips. Men’s Health Magazine posts photos that connect to the articles and the topics they cover, so it’s a good place to find some quick workout advice, some suggestions for places to go and things to do, and promotions for featured articles and interviews. They even recommend a few other Instagram accounts worth following, so you can get even more from them once you’re finished with this list.
6. @soulcycle

Fitness isn’t about visiting the gym for a few days or a few months. It’s about committing to regular exercise and a healthy diet for the long haul. That can demand a lot of changes and some powerful motivation, especially if you aren’t used to regular exercise and moderate meal sizes. Follow these Instagram accounts for the tips and confidence you need to take your health to the next step.
