becoming a fitness model is not a one-time declaration and then like magic you

just are. It really takes a lot of dedication, commitment (both mental and
physical), and a love for this modeling niche.

If this is really what you want to do though, I think in the next five steps, if you
take them seriously, you could be well on your way to becoming a fitness
model.

Decide to become a fitness model

Now, this might sound super cheesy because I started off this how-to buy telling
you it’s not that easy. Hear me out though!

Deciding to become a fitness model is a big step. Think about it, telling yourself
that this is what you want to do and honestly meaning it will put a lot of things
into motion. I consider this the first step because if you never make the decision
to become a fitness model you’ll never put the work in to make that a reality.

Do your research
Don’t let social media for you – becoming a fitness model is more than just
taking cute photos at the gym. You should definitely do your research to make
sure this is a lifestyle that you want to adopt fully to bring your dream to
fruition.

Start by looking up the lifestyles and workout regiment of some of the top
fitness models in the industry. Even if you’re not at that level yet that’s the level
that you want to strive to attain so you need to know what the end goal is going
to be.

If they work out three hours a day and have a pescatarian or vegan diet and that
has helped them become the best in the fitness modeling industry then you need
to understand that in order to be the best those are some of the things you’re
going to have to do in the long run.
Now if that sounds too hard or you’re already struggling to wrap your mind
around it this step will help you figure out if becoming a fitness model is still for
you.

Making fitness your lifestyle

If you made past step number consider this. Unlike other types of modeling,
fitness modeling is a true “what you reap is what you sow” style of modeling.
Fitness modeling it’s all about your body and because that rings true your body
will be under a lot of scrutinies.

As you should be able to tell from your research and the last step, the body of
fitness models is extremely important. You will have to constantly work for
your body to make sure that your body works for you in the fitness modeling
industry.

Though terms like “cheat days” exist you better believe that you will still be
working just as hard to compensate for those days where you’re able to break
out of your diet and typical workout routine.

If you’re not into monitoring your diet, consistently working out, or cutting out
certain things from your lifestyle then this step is going to help you figure out if
fitness modeling is still for you.

Figuring out your niche

Now though fitness modeling is a niche inside of the modeling industry there
are still niches within the fitness modeling industry. This would be a great time
to do some additional research to figure out what type of fitness modeling works
best for you.

You could be a bodybuilder, you could operate inside of the yoga space, you
could be a firm advocate for getting the body you want successfully through
your diet, you could be a demo model for a new fitness program, and so much
more.
This step ties and the last three steps beautifully because once you’ve decided
you want to be a fitness model, you’ve done the research to see what that takes,
you know that you can adjust your lifestyle to achieve the dream, and in this
step you figured out exactly what part of the industry you wanna pursue you’re
going to be perfectly set up for step number five.

Get out there, work, and make your dream a reality

You know what to do! You’ve made the declaration, you’ve done the research,
you’ve prepared yourself for a lifestyle shift, you’ve decided what portion of
this industry is going to work best for you, and now you need to put all those
things into motion.

So whether it’s crafting your daily, weekly, and monthly workout goals,
throwing out all of the things in your storage that no longer serve your diet, or
even making a new Instagram page showing your process to becoming a fitness
model- this is where you take hold of your dream and start putting in the
workday in and day out to make it come true.
