Bodybuilder Tayane Angely embodies the "no pain, no gain" mentality as she continues to pursue her fitness dreams with relentless dedication. From her early days in Brazil, where she studied civil engineering, to earning her Master’s in Sports Nutrition and making the bold decision to leave her corporate job, Angely’s path has been one of risk and passion. Now living in the U.S., she is a fitness coach who inspires others to push beyond their limits. Through her own journey of self-motivation, Angely shows that fitness is not only about the physical gains but also about developing the mental strength to stay disciplined and follow your dreams.


1. She’s Self-Motivated

Wearing a tight white tank top and black workout pants, Angely reminds people to be kind and to motivate themselves to stay healthy. “When days are cloudy, be your own motivation. Take care of yourself! It's never too late.”

2. She Focuses on Her Glutes

Strong glutes can help improve balance, reduce back pain, and lead to better posture and circulation. Sporting a black tank top and black spandex pants, Angely posted a video of her focusing on her glutes and shared her glute-building workout.

  1. Hip abduction on poly 5x15 reps
  2. Sumo squat on smith 4x12 reps
  3. Pelvic lift on smith 4x20 reps
  4. Biset Abductor chair + abductor chair w/ front designed log 3x20+20reps

Bonus cardio:

Alternating naval rope

5 shots of 45 seconds, with 1 min rest.

3. She Does the Stairmaster Combined with Battle Ropes

To target her upper and lower body, Angely combines the stairmaster with battle ropes for a great workout.

“To reduce fold of thigh fat 👉 Stairs 🔥

To strengthen the "goodbye" 👉 Naval rope 🥵 🙌

In fact, there are numerous benefits. Stairs also work the quadriceps and glute muscles. Naval rope works biceps, triceps, thorax, abdomen, etc.”

4. She Doesn’t Look for Outside Inspirations

In a Shoutout Miami interview, Angely revealed that she doesn't look to other people for inspiration and discipline to meet her fitness goals, and she suggests others do the same. “You need to have faith, move straight and don’t wait for external inspirations. You need to think internally: “I don’t need more motivation! I need discipline! So let’s go up!”

5. She Follows Her Dreams

Angely was always interested in fitness but wanted to pursue other interests as well and went to college to study civil engineering. After earning her degree, Angely worked for a German Multinational company for five years, but decided to return to her passion for health because of her “desire to positively impact people’s lives based on my experiences and lifestyle, especially because I had achieved a Master’s Degree in Sports Nutrition in Brazil,” she told Voyage MIA. “That’s when I decided to take the risk by leaving the company I worked for and moved to the US.”
