Zanna Van Dijk (99-10), has been named by the Sunday Times as one of the UK’s top 100 influencers in 2019.

The personal trainer, fitness blogger and UK Adidas Global Ambassador is going from strength to strength as a social media influencer, with over a quarter of a million Instagram followers, 72,000 YouTube subscribers and 25,000 Twitter followers.

Through her blogs, posts and videos on fitness, nutrition and environmental awareness, Zanna advocates a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. On top of her social media activity, she also presents the BBC Radio 5 Live Fit & Fearless podcast with fellow trainers and friends Victoria Spence and Tally Rye.

In May 2019, she was runner up as the Cosmopolitan UK overall influencer of the year and in September, she reached number 80 in The Sunday Times’ list of the UK’s top 100 influencers of 2019.

Zanna commented: “It is such an honour to be listed in the top 100 influencers in the UK, as someone who tries to use their platform for good it is like a reassuring pat on the back.”

Zanna is also co-founder of the eco-swimwear brand Stay Wild Swim. In 2016, she launched her first book, Strong, and became the first female brand ambassador for Adidas in the UK.
