For many of us, it’s a common refrain – “I’ll start tomorrow!” We may not be totally happy with our bodies, or might just want to become more active, but it’s sometimes tough to find the motivation to squeeze in a workout amongst all the other tasks that need to be accomplished in a day. When we finally find the motivation after a long day of work, we lace up our running shoes, toss the gym bag in the car, and head over to the gym. Then, we step inside, and stop.

What now?

For many women, even if you can find the motivation to start working out, you might not know what exactly to do to achieve your physique goals. How do you built that Kim Kardashian booty? How can you tone up your arms, Michelle Obama style? How can you get the abs of Britney Spears circa 1999? We all know what we want to change, but unless you’re a personal trainer or really knowledgeable about fitness, many of us simply don’t know how to achieve those goals. That’s where ladies like the 15 foxes on this list come in.

The 15 female personal trainers on this list all have incredible bodies. However, more importantly, they’re able to help other women get fantastic bodies. From transformation shots of clients posted on their Instagram accounts to testimonials on their websites, these ladies will whip your butt into shape. If you decide to embark on one of their programs, you might not thank them when you’re drenched in sweat halfway through the workout, but you’ll definitely thank them when you’re rocking that crop top and feeling totally fabulous.
