Pilates Body by Raven<\/p>\n

You may remember Raven Ross from season three of Netflix\u2019s \u201cLove Is Blind,\u201d but she has since evolved her platform into the go-to for Pilates baddies.

Corey Calliet<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason Corey Calliet is known as the number one body transformation specialist. Remember when he sculpted Michael B. Jordan into peak shape for \u201cCreed\u201d and \u201cBlack Panther\u201d? People completely lost their minds over Jordan\u2019s physique\u2014and rightfully so.

\u266c SLICK \u2013 Victony<\/a> <\/p>\n

Whoever said thick girls don\u2019t belong in the gym clearly never met Nkechi (or Kechynara, as she\u2019s known on Instagram and TikTok).

Taliyah Joelle<\/p>\n

@taliyah.joelle<\/a> <\/p>\n

Move your body in a way that makes you feel good! I know there is so much discourse on the Internet and I know that I contribute to that at times just with the nature of what I post. But what I will always stand on is individualism in this space. There isn\u2019t one right answer so it\u2019s OK if your split differs from mine. That\u2019s not a bad thing. And if you\u2019re struggling to find a split or a routine that works for you it\u2019s okay to get help. You\u2019re not an expert in this space, so don\u2019t put so much pressure on yourself\u2764\ufe0f Now, if you are looking to get help and elevate in that space my applications for 1:1 Training, or in my bio #weekofworkouts<\/a> #workoutsplit<\/a> #workoutroutine<\/a> <\/p>\n
