MORE THAN FASHION

SAY HI TO UNDER ARMOUR'S CLASS OF 2021

By Carys Cross, 2 September 2021

Textbooks at the ready as we’ve teamed up with Under Armour to assemble the ultimate squad of fitness champs. Whether you wanna up your workout game or try your hand at something new, don’t miss your chance to learn from the best. School’s officially in session, and here’s the experts heading up our curriculum.

Rosie @rosiekmita

Our footie pro in the team, Rosie currently plays for Watford FC Women and claims the title of the first female British Asian to sign on the dotted line for West Ham. Look familiar? You may also recognise her as one half of the Kmita Twins (cos one insanely talented sister’s not enough, right?), serving up serious presenting skills on TV shows like 'Ultimate Goal'. Stay tuned to learn how to head, shoot and pass like her, whether you’re storming it on the pitch or returning a stray ball in the park (we’ve all been there).

Anna @annaoloyede

Known as 'the fast one' at school, Anna’s need for speed first saw her cleaning up on sports day (she also competed in hurdles, high jump and long jump, NBD). Now, when she’s not clocking up miles behind the scenes, she’s working her angles in front of the camera for some of fashion’s biggest names (ASOS included). Catch her (if you can) for some top tips on how to get that extra distance in when the going gets tough.

Kalia @kalia.lai

Not one to stick around in her comfort zone, Kalia first trained as a gymnast and yogi before finding a new home in the boxing ring last year (missed that 2020 memo? Same). One year on with plenty of #girlswhobox content under her belt, she’s proof that there’s never a better time than now to get to grips with something new. Get on her good side to find out how to throw a mean right hook, along with other key moves to nail in the studio.

Christina @xtinaokenla

A self-proclaimed booty trainer, Christina dedicates her daily live Insta workouts to delivering 🍑-worthy results (and we’re here for her vibey soca playlists). Follow her lead to earn those all-important gains via a special version of her signature Booty Bootcamp filmed just for us (spoiler: it doesn’t involve squat holds, phew). Resistance bands at the ready.

Amanda @angonxo

When she’s not teaching PE five days a week, Amanda (or should we say Miss Angonyama) is busy smashing it at the gym and flexing her mad moves over on her Insta. Safe to say, she knows a thing or two about balance – 'spesh when it comes to her fave HIIT kit (we’re talking everything from hula hoops to workout sliders). Stick with her to get your heart rate up thanks to her trademark twist on toning exercises (spider crawls, included).
