Here’s a list of 12 creative female fitness photoshoot ideas to explore.

Homes with views

So many of us are working from home now that sneaking in a workout can be a challenge. Especially for females who are caretakers, watching the kids or the animals or whoever else needs us while we work, oftentimes we must literally carve a space out of all the clutter to exercise. Treat yo’ self and rent a spacious house to spread out for a few hours for the photoshoot. You can bring the kiddos—or not—as well as the photographer and whatever gear you might need.

  • This lovely home in Boise, Idaho, would be a perfect place for a creative female fitness photoshoot. The contemporary dwelling with an open floorplan is drenched in light to take pictures of you doing yoga or floor gymnastics or whatever your specific sport might be. Views of the Boise cityscape and surrounding foothills will make a stunning backdrop.
  • Another space with a view where you might shoot your creative fitness photoshoot is this Midtown Manhattan apartment with the New York skyline in the background. The penthouse is spacious enough for you to show off your workout moves while accommodating a photographer and all their gear.
  • Just for fun, if you find yourself wanting to conduct a fitness photoshoot in the Arlington, Texas, area, consider this sports-themed residence featuring a full-on game room. There are five televisions, a foosball table, a poker table, and wall letters spelling out “game time.”

Outdoor spaces

If your sport requires a bit more space than an apartment or home permits, you might require an outdoor setting. Not to worry—Peerspace has hundreds of such spaces available for your creative female fitness photoshoot.

  • If a view of the sea behooves your athletic photoshoot needs, this waterfront venue in Miami might be just the space you need. With the capacity of 10 people, the space has been used for picnics, glamourous date nights, and yes, photoshoots. The sweet space has electrical outlets in case you or your photographer need to plug something in.
  • With its moody light and emerald-green foliage, Seattle is a gorgeous place to do a fitness photoshoot outdoors. This half-acre backyard and urban farm would be ideal for fitness-minded females who need the space to spread their wings. Think aerial silks and hoops for props, or maybe horses or lawn activities. Archery, anyone?
  • Ready for a retro fitness photoshoot? Head to this vintage 1970s tennis club hidden away in California’s Anza-Borrego desert. Four tennis courts, a hot tub, a swimming pool, a clubhouse, and a gazebo will make great settings for your creative female fitness photoshoot. All this is situated before the rugged San Ysidro mountains. It’s a beautiful space and you’re free to use the interior as well.

Designated fitness rooms

  • This Hollywood fitness center has all the equipment you could possibly need for your creative female fitness photoshoot. The hourly rental also features floor-to-ceiling windows, which your photographer will no doubt appreciate as they shoot you doing your super sporty thang.
  • If your athleticism and fitness involves rhythmic movement, check out this Houston dance rehearsal studio. Photoshoots are a chance to show off your confidence, and dancers need room to twirl and leap. This space has about 750 square feet of brightly lit area to jump for joy to your heart’s content, and for your photographer to capture every blissful moment.
  • For an elegant photoshoot, consider this Boston-area loft studio where you could photograph your yoga prowess or other picturesque fitness poses. The spacious facility is full of windows, the ceilings are high, and the wood floors are especially gorgeous.
  • Female MMA fighters, wrestlers, or boxers in the Burbank area can book this established boxing ring for their creative fitness photoshoot. The 18×18-foot ring comes set up with blue ropes, but you can switch them out for a different color for a fee. This is a pro wrestling facility by day, and the owner can help show you the ropes—as it were—and assist you with a fantastic shoot.
  • A luxurious private gym like this one in Brooklyn would be ideal for a photoshoot featuring a female fitness starlet. It’s fitted with everything from a rowing machine to free weights to a punching bag and much more. Huge windows let in the kind of light that photographers dream about.

Photography studios

A professional photography studio is like a blank slate for whatever props and positions you want to put yourself into as a fitness-minded female. There are photography studio Peerspaces in many cities that otherwise go unused for periods of time, and the owner rents them out by the hour. Sometimes these studios include equipment like lighting and backdrops, and other times you are expected to bring that in.

Bring whatever you need for your creative fitness photoshoot to this beautiful blank-slate photography studio in the Phoenix area. It comes complete with a number of backdrops, brick walls, studio strobes, and assorted lighting modifiers. It’s on the third floor of a mid-mod building, but there’s an elevator that makes it accessible to models, photographers, and any necessary equipment.

Wherever you choose to bring your female fitness photoshoot ideas to life, we hope you’ll have an awesome experience and even more awesome photographs!
