With the rise of the healthy
living trend, fitness modelling is getting really big right now. If you break
into this field of modelling, you can start out on an amazing career path. LUXE
Models explains how to become
a fitness model.
Fitness modelling
As a fitness model, you’ll spend
your time posing in front of cameras, while promoting a range of
fitness-related products such as fitness magazines, sports clothes, health
shakes and protein bars.
Fitness modelling is really competitive.
There are tonnes of people who want to make a career out of their fit, toned
bodies. To make it into this industry you have to commit 100% to getting
yourself into the best shape and to
promoting yourself to top modelling agencies, so you stand out from the crowd.
Getting the look
If you want to make it in this
industry, make getting in shape your full-time job. You will need to develop
good muscular tone, so you look good in gym wear and inspire ordinary people to
buy fitness products. Make sure you avoid unhealthy food and drink, and take
care of your hair, nails and skin so you have the right look for a good fitness
model.
But being a fitness model is
about more than just your appearance. You will also need to learn to pose like
a fitness model to succeed in this field. You may want to scour fitness
magazines and look at how the pros pose in fitness modelling shoots. That way, you can
learn how to arrange your body in front of the camera. Good magazines to look
at include Women’s Fitness and Men’s Health.
Stand out from the crowd
When it comes to promoting
yourself, you basically need to do what anyone else would when breaking
into modelling with no experience. Put together a portfolio of your
modelling shots, which you can then send to a top modelling agency.
As an
aspiring fitness model, your portfolio snaps should show you wearing fitness
gear and striking gym-ready poses. That's where LUXE Models can come in with services as portfolio experts which can get you some great photos to send to modelling agencies.
Once you have your portfolio,
you’ll need to get in touch with the right agency. There’s no point sending
your pictures to a company which specialises in fashion modelling, for
instance, because they won’t be looking for models like you.
Research
specialised fitness modelling agencies so you can send your portfolio to the
right people and break into this rewarding line of work!
