One London-based couple proves that the couple who sweats together stays together. Chanel Brown, 24, and Simeon Panda, 30, have been dubbed the “fittest couple in the world,” according to the Daily Mail.
The pair have a combined 8 million social media followers and have parlayed their fit lifestyles into careers. Simeon, who recently quit his job at a software company, hosts fitness seminars and is launching his own line of clothing and gym accessories, and Chanel runs a beauty blog and recently released a workout guide called the Tone and Curve Plan.
Although the couple met in 2012, they didn’t start dating until 2014. Now, they work out together every day for an hour and a half and follow a high-protein diet. While they got into fitness at different times in their lives — Brown’s a former model, and Panda says he was a “skinny teenager” who found weight-lifting at age 15 — exercise has become a fundamental part of both their relationship and their individual daily lives.
“We work out together daily and push each other to perform our best during workouts,” Panda told the Daily Mail. “We aren't competitive with each other at all, but we ensure we are both working to the best of our ability.”
For obvious reasons, they both get a lot of attention from the opposite sex (it's almost unfair how good-looking they both are), but say they’re both comfortable with it. “I feel proud when Simeon posts his physique on his social media," Brown said. "Our aim is to spread a positive message and motivate others by sharing our lives with our followers, it would defeat the object if we had any negative feelings towards this.”
Indeed.
