\\u201cI\\u2019ve been doing this for three years now and I\\u2019m still not used to it. I still get nervous. I worry, am I saying the right thing? Do they like me? Am I funny enough?\\u201d \\u2014Kayla Itsines

With nearly 10 million followers on Instagram, and 22 million on Facebook, Kayla Itsines is arguably the world\\u2019s most famous fitness personality and trainer right now. She\\u2019s the co-creator of the Bikini Body Guides (BBG) workouts (those 28-minute, deceptively tough workouts everyone\\u2019s posting about on Instagram) and the brains behind the Sweat app, and she is a bona-fide global sensation. But Kayla, who is from Adelaide, Australia, doesn\\u2019t think of herself as famous \\u2014 and that was definitely never the plan. She just wanted to be a personal trainer and to help women, and along the way she built a multi-million dollar business, a massive reputation, a super supportive community, and a team of 100 employees.
