The first question you must ask yourself is; what is that makes you special, different and stand out from the others?

Anything you believe is the reason you would become a great fitness model is valuable, but you need to be 100% confident of yourself. Once you have it figured out, you can start to work your way to starting your modeling career as a fitness figure.

How to get started in the fitness modeling industry?

The common way to get started into fitness modeling is through competing in bikini, fitness, figure competitions, whether it’s through photos taken by a professional photographer or through a catwalk casting in this modeling discipline. Very often, during these competitions, many sponsors are present and this will give you the opportunity to meet many people within the industry and get spotted by professionals of the modeling world.

Another way to get spotted in the fitness modeling industry, is to write fitness articles or trying to get in touch with by a business related to fitness.

One factor you should keep in mind, is that you will have to accept that you will most probably at first not receive much income in return; be willing to take clothing or products as your “salary”, you might have to work hard for not much or even for free, but once you have made a name, you might be paid more for what you will be doing. So keep the motivation and perseverance up! Also very important, keep in mind that competition will be all around you, having your perfect shape is very different from having a marketable body. Never stop observing what the “target market” wants to see from fitness models, and that’s what you will need to focus on.

Another option for you is to submit photos and your personal information to castings that you like, the more the better, because the reality is that you might be rejected or ignored, which is nothing personal and very common in the modeling industry. The more you try, the higher are your chances are to succeed!

Also, try to make good research and work with the best fitness photographers and modeling agencies within the industry, they will be able to provide you with important contacts and will have more chances to get your photos published.

Never forget the online opportunities, get involved in virtual platforms, contests, and create profiles on modeling and fitness websites, here on modelmanagement.com is one good start. Don’t let any opportunity slide, be everywhere you can!
