Fitness & Wellness — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a slightly sweaty black sports bra and high-waisted sage-green leggings takes a gym mirror selfie, holding her phone up with one hand and a half-finished protein shaker in the other, looking near the camera with a relaxed post-workout smile. Real commercial gym locker area with benches and a duffel bag on the floor, a few blurred people in the background, harsh overhead fluorescent lighting mixed with natural window light for an authentic “just finished lifting” vibe. Shot like a casual Instagram story/UGC ad, slightly imperfect framing and natural skin texture."
