After using popular fitness YouTuber and Gymshark influencer Whitney Simmons' training program app, Alive, for 10 weeks, I wrote in detail about the app and my authentic experience and results for POPSUGAR. The article was later used (February and March 2022) for sponsored Instagram story and post ads for Simmons’ app (one such ad pictured here). Excerpt and link to full article, below.
One of my favorite fitness influencers is Whitney Simmons, a YouTuber and Gymshark athlete known for her cheerleader-like charm, down-to-earth life chats, and killer (but achievable!) workouts. Simmons has gained millions of followers since 2015, when she began posting YouTube videos chronicling her gym-going fitness journey, opening up about how weight training helped improve her mental health after some difficult college years. Over time, she's become a virtual BFF to people everywhere looking to not only get in shape physically, but also to feel good mentally.
In January 2020, Simmons launched Alive, a fitness and wellness app featuring workout programs, a progress tracker, and a gratitude journal. Struggling to create some structure in my own fitness routine, I subscribed to Alive and began Simmons's 10-week weight training program, called Alive 2.0. Ten weeks later, I can confidently say I not only built more muscle and lost fat, but I gained an even deeper appreciation for my body and all it can do. Wondering if Alive is the gym (or home workout) companion for you? Here's what you can expect from the app, including the cost.
