With this being the time of year to start trying to work out and get healthy for the warm weather that is coming back soon, we all aren’t going to try and join the gym. Some of us aren’t ready for that type of commitment and other know that it will take more than a new membership to get us to change. Social Media is often influential whether we like it or not, so why not try to use it for its positive aspects. We want to showcase some of the personal trainers that you can find online and hopefully get a little bit more motivated. You also might be able to find some virtual or online classes and get some meal plans and exercise regimens. If you need some gear, you can check out our Activewear archives here. Here are 14 Black Personal Trainers and Influencers to get you motivated.
