The landscape of fitness influencers is undergoing a seismic shift, with women emerging as dominant forces in an industry once perceived as male-dominated. A groundbreaking study conducted by nfsupplements sheds light on this intriguing phenomenon, raising questions about the future trajectory of fitness influencing.
