THE TOP 20 FITNESS HASHTAGS ON INSTAGRAM IN 2025
Before you dive into the top 20 most popular fitness hashtags for Instagram, let me tell you a fact you may not like listening to.
The Instagram business model is an incredibly sophisticated “money extraction” machine.
Instagram will deliberately let you build a big organic reach, then change the algorithm to lower your reach and make you pay to get you the same level of reach you previously had for free.
Even marketers working in some of the top fastest-growing industries are now having to spend plenty of money (boosting their Instagram posts) to reach their hard-earned followers.
Serious marketers and business owners who have taken my marketing strategy training sessions or are subscribed to my exclusive newsletter are already putting into practice real & proven marketing techniques to build audiences they own, increase their sales and not get distracted with vanity hashtagging.
Trust me.
The actual gains of posting some of the top 25 most popular hashtags on Instagram are minimal if you have not properly crafted a top marketing strategy, delivered optimal customer service or met your marketing objectives for your fitness business or gym.
Two reminders:
- You do not own your Instagram followers’ information or data. You cannot transfer your hard-earned Instagram followers to another platform. Tip: You must build audiences on platforms you own. I will show you how.
- Instagram wants you to pay for ads. Full point. The Instagram algorithm will deliberately make it harder to show your content to your followers for free. Stop wasting time and activate proven growth hacking techniques. I can show you this too.
