A Slice Of Brie

Before Brie Benfell became a fitness influencer and mum of-all-trades, she was singing and dancing her way through life – first as a little girl and then as Marilyn Monroe at Universal Studios Singapore!

However, much has changed for this American-born, UK-raised lass since her daughter Theadora was born more than a year ago. After emerging from the strife of new motherhood – with everything from anal fissures to weight gain as battle scars – Brie went on to launch The Anjea Way and also Thrive Fitness SG, to help others with their body transformation.

Today, the fitness influencer is racking up thousands of views just by flexing on IG in gym wear and matching co-ords with her little one. Here, she shares her workout routine and top tips for looking fit and fab – even if one likes to indulge in a bit of Shake Shack!

Describe yourself and your foray into fitness.

I grew up dancing, and staying fit and healthy has always been a priority from a very young age. It’s now a huge passion of mine. I’ve launched The Anjea Way to guide mothers through their pre- and postnatal journeys, as well as Thrive Fitness SG, a company offering personal training services.
