The Athlete Spotlight: Meet Caroline Gravity
It felt about time that we brought you a new edition of our Athlete Spotlight Series - and today, we’re catching up with none other than Caroline Gravity.
After admiring her ambition and can-do attitude for so long, we spent some time chatting with Caroline about her goals, her source of inspiration and also how fitness has shaped her into the person she is today.
HEY CAROLINE! TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY AND WHAT KICK STARTED YOUR LOVE FOR THE GYM?
From a very young age, sport has always played a huge part in my life. I used to do artistic gymnastics when I was younger until my 20s. My passion for gymnastics comes from my mum, who was my coach.
When I left France to move to London in 2015, I could no longer do gymnastics as much as I used to. I went from training five to six times per week to only once a week, so I needed to find something else to do.
A few months after I arrived in London, I met my partner, who I share the same love for sport with. He had a membership at a fitness club, and up until then, I’d never been to a gym before. I was scared and I didn’t know what to do. He brought me to show me the club and the equipment, and I fell in love with the gym vibes from day one.
WHAT ROLE HAS FITNESS PLAYED IN YOUR LIFE?
Fitness has played a different role at different stages of my life. When I started, fitness was a way to get involved in sport. Then, it became a way to help me to perform better at my sports, including gymnastics, partner acrobatics, pole dancing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
I now realise how fitness plays a huge role in my mental health. Fitness helps me so much in my daily life with how I feel about myself, my mind and my body. Fitness gives me confidence and self-love.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
I used to work as a gym manager for three years at four different gyms back in Australia. During this time, I had the chance to meet hundreds of amazing people. This experience made me realise that most beginners had the same problems, issues with exercise, bad form and anxiety about fitness.
I first decided to share my fitness knowledge, form tips, motivation and fitness journey on social media for my clients and friends. Then, my videos went viral, reaching millions of views from people all around the world. I’m so proud now to be able to help thousands of women around the world during their fitness journey.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE AYBL COLLECTION AND WHY?
My favourite AYBL Collection is Empower. I love the simplicity of the designs and all the colours available. I can choose a colour depending on my mood and the vibe for the day - I love it!
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING AN AYBL ATHLETE?
I love being part of the AYBL Athlete Community. I like being part of a female community that empowers and motivates each other. It’s like being part of a fitness family.
WHAT GOAL OR GOALS ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING TOWARDS?
I’m currently working on my upper and lower body power strength to unlock a clean muscle-up and back flip.
I’m also working on my flexibility, including the splits and backbend, to unlock new back-bend movements on the pole.
To finish, I aim to work a lot on my cardio to improve my performance in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
WHAT ARE THREE SIMPLE THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO TO STAY CONSISTENT?
Firstly, write down your short-, medium- and long-term goals and why it’s important for you to work towards those goals. This will be your motivation whenever you’re experiencing down days.
Next, make a plan of what you’re going to do to reach those goals. Having a daily and weekly routine will help you to stay consistent.
Finally, keep a record of your daily, weekly and monthly improvements to stay motivated. These could include weight-loss, muscle gain, unlocking a new exercise, a new PR, better overall mood, improved sleep or generally feeling better physically and mentally.

Beginners guide to starting a running routine this year
Whether you're looking for a new fitness challenge, gearing up for a 10k run, or simply aiming to get in shape - your running journey starts here!
Running is one of the most accessible ways to get fit, relieve stress, and boost mental health but it can also be intimidating if you’re just starting out. We’ve put together a simple guide to help you get moving safely and confidently this year.
1. Set Realistic Goals
Starting with a goal can make all the difference. Begin with something achievable, like running a specific distance or time, or simply going for three short runs a week. Avoid setting high expectations right away; this will help you stay motivated without the pressure.
2. Start Slowly
A common mistake beginners make is diving in too fast. Start with a mix of walking and running, such as the “run-walk” method. Try alternating a few minutes of running with a minute of walking, gradually increasing the running intervals each week.
3. Invest in Essential Gear
A quality pair of running shoes that matches your foot type and supports your stride can greatly reduce injury risk and enhance comfort. Moisture-wicking clothing will keep you dry, especially if you're running in various weather conditions. Adding a reliable set of headphones for music and a running vest can boost motivation and keep essentials within reach on your runs.
4. Warm Up and Cool Down
Warming up prepares your muscles for the workout and can improve your performance. Start with a 5-minute brisk walk or dynamic stretches. After running, spend a few minutes cooling down with gentle stretching to help prevent stiffness and soreness.
5. Track Your Progress
Using a journal, app, or smartwatch to track your runs helps you see progress over time and keeps you motivated. Start with a baseline run, and gradually push your limits by small increments each week. Seeing improvements, no matter how small, can give you a huge confidence boost.
6. Listen to Your Body
It’s normal to feel some discomfort as you start running, but pain is a red flag. If you feel sharp or persistent pain, take a rest day and allow yourself to recover. Proper rest is crucial for building endurance and strength over time.
7. Stay Consistent
Consistency is key in building a running routine. Aim for small, steady improvements each week rather than big jumps. Finding a running buddy, joining a local park run, or having an upbeat playlist can help you stay motivated on those days when getting out the door feels tough.
8. Celebrate Milestones
Whether it’s your first mile or first week without skipping a session, take time to celebrate! Acknowledging your achievements, no matter how small, can help keep you excited about your progress.
Starting a running routine can be a life-changing decision that builds not just physical fitness but also mental resilience. So, lace up, stay positive, and enjoy the journey—your goals are just a run away!
