At just 25 years old Meggan Grubb has built a health and fitness empire. Grubb started her instagram in 2016 with the hopes of one day becoming a singer. But instead she turned her social media stardom into becoming a well known fitness instructor and influencer. Grubbs Instagram alone boasts 1.3 million people who follow her everyday life.

Grubb is also known for her YouTube channel where she regularly posts about fashion, healthy and beauty, vlogs and her famous workouts. Grubb has been outspoken about the importance of self care, body positivity and preventing exhaustion. 

Before Grubb’s Instagram started to gain a following for her fitness and workout videos, she had already began to take a further interest in personal training and began studying to achieve personal training qualifications with the idea of inspiring and motivating others to achieve their dream physiques. 

Growing up as a teenager Grubb has been open about her unhealthy party lifestyle. She began to feel unhappy about her appearance due to the poor diet and partying ways. After deciding to change her overall lifestyle, she found a love for health and fitness and began documenting it on YouTube. 

“I just didn’t have much direction, and this was the time I came to a standstill after partying for a few years. I partied before I even started at University, I worked at a bar and was always around this environment doing whatever you want. After coming back from holiday, I remember looking back at the pictures and thinking to myself ‘OMG what am I doing, what is the point of this and what am I achieving here? I began to think there’s no point in thinking ‘she looks better than me’ unless I was prepared to do something about it.” 

By uploading and documenting her own fitness journey Grubb hoped that it would inspire and encourage other young women and men to embark on their own journey to improve their overall health and diet furthermore to show women that weight lifting is not as intimidating as it may seem. 

By 2017 Grubb’s Instagram began to grow and market her personal fitness programmes, which led her to where she is today. Founder of her own app called Beyond which is a fitness well being app that focuses on gym and home workouts, recipes and journaling for a positive lifestyle. 

Grubb has had many achievements for a 25 year old, with partnering with brands like InTheStyle to create her own clothing collection to the success of her first App Beyond that has proved to be a huge success with her followers and fitness fanatics.
