Insta-Detox: 9 Inspiring Health and Fitness Stars to Follow Now

With two and a half months of beachside drinks and vacation indulgences coming to an end, the boundless stream of ice cream cones and pool party shots turning upon Instagram will soon be winding down. A new season is just around the corner, meaning now is the perfect time to detox your feed and bring in a fresh point of view—and who better to help than the health and fitness stars of Instagram?

From a clean white plate of zucchini noodles covered in avocado cream to paper baskets filled with wild Swedish blueberries, imaginative wellness snaps and recipes offer a steady source of inspiration. Take David Frenkiel, a vegetarian photographer who posts impossibly photogenic bowls—rye porridge with skyr and rhubarb compote, for one—that will have you running to the farmer’s market. When it comes to getting into shape, a quick scroll through your updated feed may reveal model Caroline Trentini holding tree pose in the Maldives, or New York City Ballet dancer Sara Mearns holding an arabesque on a strip of white sand beach—more than enough motivation to get your heart pumping, too. Here, nine food and fitness stars to follow on Instagram for a breath of fresh air that will last you through fall.

Deliciously Ella (@deliciouslyella)

Ella Woodward’s nutritious breakfast bowls (porridge with coconut yogurt, granola, berries, and almond milk), snacks (banana on date-and-pecan bread slices) and desserts (avocado chocolate brownies) offer a tasty, guilt-free fix from daybreak until sunset.

Amanda Bisk (@amandabisk)

Former Australian pole vaulter turned yoga instructor Amanda Bisk strikes mind-bending poses in idyllic locales, from a backwards bridge on Bondi beach to an inverted handstand on Perth’s stone streets. Whether it’s a modified plank pose or deep hamstring stretch, she’s a study in perfect form.

Green Kitchen Stories (@gkstories)

David Frenkiel shoots his produce in glossy, high-contrast style—and takes snacking to the next level in the process: Think avocado on rye toast, as well as a range of summer salads and veggie bowls that are bursting with seasonal flavor.

Valentina Zelyaeva (@valentinazelyaeva)

The Russian model turned wellness guru has a jaw-dropping feed. If her shots of barley-green juice in the Tuscan hills and homemade tomato gazpacho don’t convince you, her globe-trotting meditations, long toned limbs, and naturally glowing skin probably will.

Patrick Beach (@patrickbeach)

A vinyasa instructor with one distinctive beard, Patrick Beach drops handstands and bakasanas wherever he goes, whether it’s an old-growth forest, a rocky outcrop, or an urban rooftop—man bun optional.

Kathy Patalsky (@kathypatalsky)

Vegan author Kathy Patalsky, whose new cookbook debuted this spring, blends creamy superfood smoothies—frozen matcha, pitaya banana—that are bursting with color.

Sara Mearns (@saramearns)

Those in search of a ballet body can take cues from New York City Ballet dancer Sara Mearns. The graceful blonde takes an anywhere, anytime approach to technique—striking an arabesque in Nantucket, stretching in the sand, and leaping for joy in Manhattan.

James Brooklyn (@jamesbklyn)

Stuck in a farmer’s market rut? This Brooklyn eatery’s unfiltered photos of soft donut peaches, summer squash, and freshly picked chives will convince you to broaden your culinary palette.

Caroline Trentini (@trentinireal)

This young mother and longtime Vogue model might have the most enviable abs in the business. From frequent kickboxing snaps at the gym to beachside vrksasana, she proves that staying strong and fit is a lifelong pursuit.
