People think of many different things when the subject of Instagram comes up. Most people view it as something akin to a digital photo album. Others might see it as a hybrid of a photo album and TV station. However, a select few have found a way to leverage Instagram as a tool for positive change. Valenti Vitel is in many ways a trailblazer among those who want to leverage Instagram for their cause. Vitel is passionate about fitness in general and InstaFit in particular.

Vitel’s fitness routine and her success with it is obvious at a glance. Her Instagram shows exactly what a dedicated fitness routine can do for people. Many of her fans have noted that it draws particular attention to the fact that women can get in shape while still retaining their curves. This type of inspiring action is hardly new to Vitel. The model has lived a life which always places a huge emphasis on community.

Vitel was born in a small county within Russia. She grew up seeing people leveraging resources, no matter how scarce, to make big changes in the lives of the people around them. The entire small town philosophy engrained itself on her as she realized the importance of everything she had to work with. Vitel has a natural talent and flair for marketing and self-promotion. As such, she realized that these were the perfect tools to work on branding. What’s more, Vitel also realized that modern technology offered solid analytical tools which could help her manage that rise to the top. This began her now quite clearly successful work on Instagram. As the model began to rise in popularity she was able to do the same with some of the things she cared about the most. InstaFit went from a passion project to a trending topic all over the world.

The small town girl was rapidly becoming a global phenomenon. In fact, her fan base might well double overnight. Again, this was one of the big advantages that Vitel discovered through her use of Instagram. Traditional media doesn’t provide very accurate tools to track the real time success of most campaigns or individuals. With Instagram she was able to instantly see what worked. And when things did work Vitel was able to know about it within seconds. It quickly became apparent that Vitel wasn’t just a trend. Her presence as a leading figure in the InstaFit community was here to stay.

Many similar stories might lead into a rock star lifestyle. However, Vitel sticks to a fairly simple life. After all, that simple life is what led her to where she is today. She mainly works with private firms for branding and modeling work. However, her passion for fitness hasn’t wavered a bit since her early days. She typically goes to the gym three or four days a week. On top of that she gives a lot of credit to cardio and a healthy diet for the success with her fitness goals. Vitel is constantly finding ways to help people. Her dedication to fitness has inspired people the world over.

She also puts heavy emphasis on helping her home region. She tris to work on gigs or jobs within that or neighboring areas when possible. She feels that the ability to stay close to friends and family while working is a true blessing. She also loves the fact that she can keep up with her fans while doing so. Vitel feels that the ability to stay in touch with her fans is part of what keeps her upbeat. She’s one of the first to show how branding through Instagram can turn into such a unique success. This too is one of the many ways she’s been able to inspire people.
