If you don\u2019t know Arias by name, you may recognize her from the covers of health magazines, in her new role as a CoverGirl, or as a brand ambassador for Target\u2019s Champion C9 line. Or maybe you\u2019re one of the 2.5 million already following her on Instagram. The bilingual personal trainer (who formerly went by Mankofit) used healthy lifestyle habits to recover from depression and physical limitations as a teenager. Since then she\u2019s developed wildly popular challenge programs, lifestyle guides, and a coach network to offer up the same benefits to her followers and advocate for a holistic approach to health. She also keeps it real about family life\u2014this working mom is constantly sharing photos and stories about her adorable daughter and fitness-loving husband.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″]<\/p>\n

The beloved British fitness coach and TV presenter smartly leveraged social media to launch himself from near-anonymity to health and fitness superstardom. And we couldn\u2019t be more into it: The Body Coach, as he\u2019s known, never pushes intimidating workouts or extreme dieting tactics in his quest to help people get fit. (There\u2019s not a meal-replacement shake in sight.) Instead, he focuses on shorter, doable routines and 15-minute meals in his 90 Day Plan and series of best-selling Lean in 15 cookbooks.<\/p>\n

The clinical nutritionist and doctor of both natural medicine and chiropractic uses his health site to cover everything from adaptogenic foods to oil pulling.

Yet somehow, Johnson continues to come across as a genuine, down-to-earth guy (one who isn\u2019t afraid to open up about his battle with depression).

That might sound pretty straightforward, but Brady and his trainer Alex Guerrero have been at the center of several health-related controversies both in and outside the locker room.<\/p>\n

The self-proclaimed \u201cFat-Burning Man\u201d transformed his health (and his body) when he stopped taking his doctors\u2019 advice and began eating what he now calls The Wild Diet, which embraces foods like butter and steak, in the pursuit of fat loss. James takes a similarly contrarian approach to exercise, and his unsanitized perspective has launched his chart-topping Fat-Burning Man Show podcast<\/a>, Caveman Feast app, and best-selling book, The Wild Diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paltrow\u2019s company, Goop<\/a>, regularly makes headlines\u2014and usually not in a good way. Whether it\u2019s for advocating the (debunked) jade eggs for vaginas or telling women to get as skinny as they can without dying<\/a>, the Hollywood starlet\u2019s business seems to court controversy. Nevertheless, Paltrow remains a big name in the wellness space on account of her popular cookbooks and her staunch defense of unusual wellness practices.<\/p>\n
