Sweat
Kayla Itsines, a personal trainer from Adelaide, founded Bikini Body Guides (BBG) in 2016 with partner Tobi Pearce. The premise was based on 28-minute workouts that would help increase strength and fitness for women around the world, all from the comfort of home. Itsines' program has grown through her Sweat app, which now offers extensions of the BBG workouts, including BBG Stronger, BBG Beginner and BBG Zero, as well as yoga and maternity programs. The app's most appealing feature though is its extensive global community of women that help motivate each other along the way.

Dubbed "The People's Yogi" by The Guardian, Adriene Mishler of Yoga with Adriene is a worldwide phenomenon, and with good reason. Her mantra is "Find what feels good", and it's an intention she repeats frequently in her easy-to-follow videos.
Not one to push intimidating pretzel poses, her channel is for everyone from beginner to advanced yogis alike and offers a flow for every mood and need you could possibly think of, from targeting lower back pain, to lowering anxiety and boosting productivity.
She also offers videos on how to do specific yoga poses and a number of 30-challenges and a special, more fiery series for those looking to lose weight.
