TBeautiful, bold and cheerful: Isabel Montez (aka @itsisafit), the fitness influencer who’s winning the internet over
If you ever searched for workouts around the social networks, you probably already know her. Isabela Montez (also known as @itsisafit on Simstagram) is one of the best-known influencers in terms of sports and fitness. But who’s this beautiful woman? We met her to chat and discover more about her and her success.
Isabela originates from Selvadorada, but she lives in San Myshuno. We meet her in her apartment and she greets us with a big smile. Her fresh and cheerful personality immediately strikes us.
First of all, congratulations for your success! You recently reached 2 million followers on Simstagram!
“Yeah, thank you! And thanks to all my supporters, obviously! When I started my social accounts, I would never expect to get so far. I was just a Biology student at Foxbury who wanted to share her workouts, achievements and sports experiences. At the beginning, I didn’t take it too seriously, but as my account grew bigger, I realised it could have been my path. Many people were inspired by my workouts: they joined my challenges, shared their progress, asked me for advices… Before I was graduated, I already had some collaborations.
Which kind of collaborations?
I started out as a model and testimonial for fitness-related products, which I actually still do. As my audience grew, I started receiving offers of partnerships with big brands not only in the fitness field, but also for products that relate to my lifestyle in general. For example, until a few years ago I never imagined that I would end up sponsoring a pet food brand as well.
And there’s where comes to play Zed, your dog.
Exactly! I can definitely say that many of my followers are actually more interested in him than in me! And I can’t blame them, he’s adorable. He comes with me on all my adventures and is my greatest friend.
Is he your only companion?
So we’re getting to the hot topic, huh? Yes, there’s space only for Zed in my heart. I’m always travelling around the world, which doesn’t give me much time and stability for a romantic relationship. I prefer to focus on myself and my work, for now.
You seem very happy with your work with social networks, but have you ever had any negative experiences?
Unfortunately yes. I think anyone who gets exposed on the internet will have to deal with haters sooner or later. Internet is such a wonderful opportunity to connect with people, discover the world and learn something new, but it is full of toxic people ready to take their frustration on other people, too. It seems like they don't reflect on the fact that other people are on the other side of the screen.
Could you give us some examples?
Some haters attacked me telling that I’m “just another of those fitness maniacs obsessed with their body”. I know that some people are really obsessed with their appearance, but to me fitness is just one of the ways to take care of ourselves. Sports are my passion just like someone else likes to paint or to sing to relieve stress. On my social I often speak about feeling good about ourselves, which doesn’t’ mean that we all have to be super skinny or super fit: it just means to have a healthy lifestyle and do whatever makes us feel good. In my case, fitness is just one of those things.
What amazing projects are you working on?
Well, the Mount Komorebi Tourist Board asked me to join a wonderful collaboration. I will move there for a month to discover and tell its beauty. I’ll mainly deal with excursions, winter sports and mountain climbing, but as I’ll be hosted by a local family I’ll also talk about the local traditions and culture. I'm leaving next week - I'm so excited!
Then, good luck on your new adventure! We’ll surely follow you.
Thank you! Stay tuned, because I have the feeling that this experience will hold us many surprises!

Hey!!! I’m back!
I was thinking about making a new gameplay since months and Snowy Escape gave me the opportunity to start posting again.
I know this post is a bit long, but I wated to star in a different way: you know that I like my gameplays to have a base story instead of being, you know...just gameplays. That’s why I thought it would be fun to present my new character with an interview. She’s quite famous, after all.
Hope you’re gonna like it!
