Michelle Lewin #lacuerpa

This Venezuelan model has yet to win a title on the hypercompetitive IFBB bikini circuit, but honestly, who cares? She has 4.2 million Instagram followers for a reason; she's stunning. It can be difficult for fitness models to cross over into mainstream culture, but with social media driving fans to her side, Michelle has achieved mass popularity.

The three-time Olympia 212 champ is a bona fide pro with a number of affiliations, including BSN and FitMark bags. Don't worry; James doesn't spend all day flexing. The "Welsh Dragon" posts motivational quotes, lifting videos, expo promos, and pics of him interacting with fans and industry pros.
