Oprah Winfrey
Oprah has always been open about the real struggles facing women—including the difficulty in both losing weight and maintaining weight loss. After her first big slim down in 1988, Oprah inspired millions by talking about her journey down the scale. And when she gained the weight back, she didn’t shy away from the topic. The empress of inspiration’s struggle with fluctuating weight emboldened millions of women dealing with weight gain and loss to not be ashamed of their journey.
Jane Fonda
Rocking French-cut leotards and legwarmers while performing now iconic moves, Jane Fonda launched a national fitness craze in the '80s and ‘90s with her workout videos. Already a famous actress, Fonda released her first tape in 1982, which quickly became the highest selling video of all time. The craze continued in 2014 when five of Fonda's most popular videos were released on DVD.
Venus Williams
With seven Grand Slam titles, five Wimbledon singles championships, four Olympic gold medals, a clothing line, and an interior design company, Venus Williams is a force to be reckoned with. One of our favorite moments? After years of battling with officials for gender-equal prize money, she became the first woman at Wimbledon to earn the exact same as the male victor in the 2007 championship, arguably making the most progress in this area since Billie Jean King in the '70s. Williams has dedicated much of her time to the United Nations Organization for Education, Science, and Culture (UNESCO), promoting gender equality for women around the world.
Kris Carr
Diagnosed with a rare and incurable stage four cancer in 2003, Kris Carr wasn’t crippled by the news. Instead she decided to stop holding back and start living healthier, loving harder, and enjoying her life more. Over a decade later—still living with cancer—Carr is now a wellness activist, sharing her experiences about plant-passionate living, health, happiness, spirituality, and compassion with the world through her Crazy Sexy brand, books, and videos. Her journey has reached thousands who want to look and feel better, lose weight, reduce stress, have more energy, and nourish their spirits.

Michelle Obama
On a mission to change the way kids think about food and nutrition, Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden at the White House in 2009 to strike up conversation about health and wellbeing. That conversation turned into the Let’s Move! initiative in 2010. Through Let’s Move! Obama is dedicated to solving childhood obesity and making it easier for kids to pursue their dreams. Her program brings healthier foods into schools, helps kids become more physically active, and makes sure families have access to healthy food that’s also affordable.
Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice
Your muscles scream. Sweat drips all over the floor. An instructor yells annoyingly optimistic outlooks on the event. Sounds like fun, right? The attitude of loving fierce fitness classes is thanks, in large, to SoulCycle. Determined to find a fitness routine that didn’t feel like work but still left the gym-goers mentally and physically energized, Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice opened their first SoulCycle studio in 2006. They probably didn’t know they were reinventing spin classes (and the acceptability of sky-high prices) at the time, but with 25 studios now open across the U.S., the brand transformed the reason we workout. (See 4 SoulCycle Tips to Take to Spin Class.)
