MICHAEL JAMES BRADY
A champion for the LGBTQ community, he knows that being exactly who you are is revolutionary.
In the gym, Michael James Brady (@coachmichaeljames) looks very much like an insider with his charming smile and enviable physique. But growing up gay, he felt he was watching life from the outside, not fully invited to participate. He suffered in silence, doing whatever he could to fit in, shutting off parts of himself, not allowing the rest of the world to see. Now, as a sought-after personal trainer and partner in the popular Everybody Fights gym, James uses his robust online platform to share happy, loving photos of himself and his husband living life with their two rescue dogs. He created a reel that went viral about growing up gay. With every pushup, bicep curl and wallball he does, he’s showing us exactly who he is, living without apology and daring anybody ever to imagine him hidden.

SARAH DUSSAULT
A lifeline for women over forty, she celebrates getting older and feeling one’s best.
An early adopter of YouTube, Sarah Dussault (sarahfit.com) ran a fitness channel that has now amassed hundreds of millions of views. She continues to expand her online empire and shares parenting tips, recipes, workouts and general lifestyle advice. Most of this is directed to women like her—moms in their forties who are perplexed about how to maintain their health in a changing body. Once she had children, Dussault noticed that her old formula was no longer working to keep her fit. She became a certified Faster Way to Fat Loss coach and pivoted her focus to help other women look and feel their best. Once again, she’s early to the party and helping to change the vibe.
