Iron Maiden – Katya Elise Henry
Katya Elise Henry – The Fitness Megastar
Katya is no ordinary fitness chick, she’s a model, trainer, and entrepreneur with over 6 million followers on Instagram. Henry, through her social media, inspires her fans to follow the fit and healthy lifestyle.
Henry was a cheerleader as a teenager, but she wasn’t happy as she wasn’t building muscle mass due to the cardiovascular nature of the sport and a poor diet. For Katya, fitness began at home as her mother was a personal trainer who started guiding her towards her fitness goals.
Katya got hooked to the fitness lifestyle when she started seeing results in her physique after following a custom diet and training program. She started posting pictures of her transformation on social media for other people to see.
Many people found these photos inspirational and approached Katya for help. Seeing people’s responses, Katya decided to turn into a trainer. Henry further improved her skills as she gained more experience by training her clients.
Falling In Love – Head Over Heels
The more Katya learned about weight training, nutrition and supplementation from her mother, the more she fell in love with the sport. She was fascinated by the planning which went into designing an effective workout plan, and its ensuing results.
Over the years, Katya has built her dream physique with her hard work in and outside the gym. Henry acknowledges how blessed she is to be in a place where she is today that she has got the word “blessed” tattooed on her trademark butt.
Fitness Model Turned Entrepreneur
Katya has turned from an Instagram model into a fitness entrepreneur. She has two other Instagram profiles; one is dedicated to sharing her workouts with her fans, and the other is the brand page for her bikini line.
Henry is a sponsored athlete and has partnered with EHPlabs for her line of a plant-based protein called – you guessed it right – blessed. There are only a few other people who take being a vegan as seriously as Katya.
An Inspiration For Millions
Katya’s rise to fame on Instagram was almost sudden. When she saw her transformation pictures, she decided to post pictures of her newly achieved toned glutes and abs on the internet. Soon after that, people started noticing her.
Along with the rear showcasing bikinis, Katya can slay in any outfit she wears. On Instagram, you’ll find her in the most exotic of places, doing what she does the best – slaying and inspiring.
Katya’s Training Style
Due to her busy schedule, Henry follows a 4-training days a week program. As she calls herself “the glute master”, she focuses her training mainly on her rear. She fits in abdominal and upper body workouts where she can.
Katya has been making a name for herself in the fitness industry, and we can see her going places in the time to come. We wish her best for her future endeavors in and outside the fitness industry.

Gym Crush – Kelsey Wells
Kelsey Wells – The Dream Girl
For the uninformed and uninitiated, Kelsey Wells is an Instagram fitness celebrity with 2.5 million followers. Kelsey’s incredible physique and her story are an inspiration for all her followers.
Wells is a fitness celebrity, trainer, mom, and wife, and she’s a star in all her roles. Working with people like Kayla Itsines, Kelsey built a fitness empire for herself with her Instagram photos, videos, and inspirational quotes.
Kelsey’s beginning in the fitness world was far from typical. Wells wasn’t always a fan of exercising. While she spent her early days playing sports, working out became a chore after finishing school.
All of this was about to change when she gave birth to her son. Kelsey returned to the iron paradise and started lifting weights to combat post-partum depression. Since then, her love for fitness and her influence as an online model and coach have grown immensely.
The Change Was Almost Immediate
Training and staying in shape helped Kelsey vent her negative emotions. Seeing her physical progress and transformation was the icing on the cake. Wells took it upon herself to learn more about fitness and started researching more advanced topics about nutrition.
Soon after following a diet plan, Kelsey realized that the food she ate could greatly impact her mood and how she felt overall. As a result, she revamped her diet plan from scratch, and it’s when the biggest improvements followed.
The Best Shape Of Her Life
While following a regular training and diet plan, Wells felt better than ever and her physique improved by leaps and bounds. When Kelsey returned to weighing 140lbs (her pre-pregnancy weight), her body composition was completely different due to weight training.
Kelsey’s transformation gave her the courage to inspire others to take charge of their bodies and life. Wells opened a social media account where she started posting pictures of her transformation.
Inspiring Others
Along with her transformation pictures, Kelsey posts quotes from her fitness journey (a practice she still follows). Her follower count grew as more and more people resonated with her story and she became a star, especially amongst other mothers who face post-pregnancy depression.
It wasn’t long after this that Kelsey turned into a fitness guru. She seized the opportunity and opened her online coaching business along with other businesses. Kelsey has now turned into a successful entrepreneur and a fitness icon.
Get Fit The Kelsey Way
If you’re a digger for new workouts, make sure you give Kelsey a follow on Instagram. She posts her workouts regularly on the gram for her fans to follow. Wells relies more on strength training as compared to cardio for maintaining her toned physique.
When was the last time you saw someone who could rock both these attires so effortlessly? We are a fan of Kelsey’s and wish her the best for her future endeavors in and outside the fitness industry.
