These 9 Booty-Gain Before and Afters Are Serious Goals

Madalin Giorgetta, a certified personal trainer with almost 800,000 followers on Instagram, knows a thing or two about putting on muscle. In her impressive booty transformation pics, it's clear she knows how to target those gains in her glutes. "So many people think that the best way to grow your booty is through squats, when in actual fact, the best way to grow your booty is through hip thrusts, glute bridges, and a mix of abduction exercises involving cables and resistance bands," she told POPSUGAR.

Bikini competitor and fitness expert Marta Mielczarska, NASM, CPT, FNS, shared her booty transformation on Instagram and revealed that in order to put on muscle, you have to eat more. She told POPSUGAR that she was eating 1,800 calories on the photo on the left, but was up to 2,200 calories on the photo on the right.

Kim French (@kimfrench87) showed her one-year booty transformation in this Instagram post and offered some pointers in the caption: eat at a calorie surplus to feed your muscles, eat enough protein, do hip thrusts, and stay consistent. Sounds like solid advice to us!

Cathy Martin showed what happens when you add weight training into your fitness regimen. "Running 2014 versus weight training 2018," she wrote in her caption.

Briana Chandler told POPSUGAR that she started her fitness journey her freshman year of college and had a goal of building her booty while building up her overall strength. "I wanted a transformation that I could be proud of — one I could inspire other people with," she said. She worked out her legs and glutes consistently around two or three days a week.

Davelyn Davenport showed that in just one month, progress is possible: the photo on the left is from March and the photo on the right is from April. To see changes, consistency is key. She told POPSUGAR that she works out once a day, five days a week, with two rest days. Her favourite workouts for booty gains are deadlifts, cable kickbacks, cable pull-throughs, and hip thrusts. She also eats four to six meals a day and increased her protein intake.

"Don't give up!" she told POPSUGAR. "Results aren't going to come in a week, so stay consistent and dedicated to your goals."

Jena Desiderio showed what happened when she initially lost weight over the course of a year — she dropped pounds and inches, but, as she said in her Instagram caption, she lost her butt. "Even though I was super skinny in the middle picture, I lost my butt!" she wrote in her caption. "I ALWAYS had a butt, my boobs were gone, and I didn't fill out clothes the way I wanted to." Now, she's working on toning and defining her body, and the results speak for themselves!

It's amazing what can happen in a year. Leen Peeters showed her one-year transformation on Instagram, which included serious booty gains.
