To get ahead in life one has to use all assets to the best of their ability. That’s exactly what Instagram fitness star Jen Selter has done — in an almost literal sense of the word — as she has amassed nearly two million followers thanks to a slew of photos of her shapely… posterior.
On the heals of this backdoor success, Selter has signed a lucrative sports management deal with The Legacy Agency. A well known agency that represents stars such as baseball stars Johan Santana and Carl Crawford and NFL stars Osi Umenyiora and Reggie Bush.TLA believes the 20-year-old could be the next Jillian Michaels.
“We believe she can be the next Jillian Michaels,” said TLA agent Andrew Witlieb. “Jillian didn’t get to where she is until her mid-30s. Jen’s going to grow as a person, as a fitness expert, in these next years. She’s here for the long term.”
For those not familiar with Michaels, she is currently a judge on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” and is a successful personal training who uses a blend of kickboxing, yoga, Pilates, plyometrics and weight training to get her clients fit.
The one knock on Selter is that unlike Michaels, she isn’t a personal trainer, but that isn’t expected to hamper the Long Island native.
Selter does have work experience in a gym, which is where she was back in March 2012 when she started taking photos of herself working out. Those photos have led to two million Instagram followers, more than a half million Facebook fans and 200,000 Twitter followers, including such notable athletes as Johnny Manziel, Amar’e Stoudemire and Shaquille O’Neal.
Selter’s quick rise to internet fame was profiled in The Post earlier this month, which was how Witleib first learned of her.
“She was someone I never heard of that had 1.3 million Instagram followers, now 2 million, since the Post story,” Witlieb told us. “This was a combo of health, wellness and fitness meets social media. This girl’s really onto something.”
Below is the video that went viral last week featuring Selter, titled, “Instagram’s Most Famous Butt: Meet Jen Selter.”
