Kylie Blakely: From Wilderness to Fitness Modeling – A Journey of Strength and Style

Take a look at Kylie Blakely's Instagram, and you'll quickly see she's not your typical fitness model. Her story is one of adventure, resilience, and a profound connection with nature. From wrangling alligators to hiking rugged trails, Kylie’s journey is a powerful testament to the synergy of passion and purpose.

Born with an adventurous spirit, Kylie has always been drawn to activities that push her limits—whether it's trekking through challenging terrains, hunting, or managing wildlife. Her love for the outdoors has shaped not only her lifestyle but also her approach to fitness, where strength, endurance, and versatility are paramount.

A Passion for the Wild

Kylie’s fascination with the wild began at a young age. Growing up in a rural area, she spent much of her childhood exploring forests, fishing in nearby lakes, and learning the art of hunting. These experiences fostered a profound respect for nature and a determination to maintain her physical fitness to fully engage in the activities she loves.

As she transitioned into adulthood, Kylie’s passion for fitness grew. She realized that staying fit wasn’t just about looking good; it was about being capable, strong, and ready to take on any challenge the wilderness could throw at her. 

Her dedication to maintaining peak physical condition led her to explore various fitness regimes, from strength training to endurance sports, all of which complemented her outdoor lifestyle.

Discovering Firm abs

In 2021, while preparing for a trip to Las Vegas, Kylie stumbled upon Firm abs and decided to give it a try. What began as a spontaneous purchase quickly turned into a love affair with the brand. “I absolutely fell in love with your brand!” she recalls. It wasn’t just the quality that caught her eye, but how our designs catered to her unique lifestyle needs.

As a fitness model who spends a lot of time outdoors, Kylie found that the our Cargo sets were a game-changer. “I’m always outdoors, on the go, and the pockets give me the opportunity to carry more gear & tools for hiking, hunting, fishing, and wildlife management,” Kylie explains. “And in my radio event, wrangling alligators! ALL WHILE STAYING FEMININE & STYLISH!”

Kylie’s favorite collection is our original Cargo Series. Designed for those who embrace an active, adventurous lifestyle, the Cargo collection has become an essential part of her gear. “Whenever I have long hikes, camping trips, or range days planned, I always pack my Firm abs Cargo sets!” she shares.
