Megan is South African but based in Dubai, and she’s one of the most followed accounts because her poses are elegant, graceful and look extremely difficult. Her fitness focus is on crossfit, yoga and calisthenics.

The UAE-based blogger does intense weights, calisthenics, and all sorts of poses we can’t even begin to understand. She’s also the global education director at the World Calisthenics Organization, so fitness is her profession. When you see what she’s doing at the gym, it’ll make you realize that half an hour on the treadmill isn’t something to complain about.
