The Best Fitness Images

Finding high-quality fitness images used to be a struggle.

The right images can enhance your website, social media, or marketing materials, making them feel unique instead of dated.

Unsplash is a community that has over 100,000 photographers and creators who upload content for your to use for free. And by free I mean “You can use them for commercial and noncommercial purposes. You do not need to ask permission from or provide credit to the photographer or Unsplash, although it is appreciated when possible.” That’s straight from their license page.

Coverr

While not photography Coverr is a great site to get free stock video. Ever Monday the site will post seven new videos that you can download and use to your liking. Like Unsplash they are free to use for commercial and noncommercial purposes.

DepositPhotos

DepositPhotos is one of our favorite paid-for photography websites. They have over 100 million high-quality stock images and videos and also have a reasonable membership rate. Compared to one of their well-known competitors, DepositPhotos individuals monthly plan is half the price of that competitor and includes 20 more photo downloads per month.

We’ve had a client request a stock photo from this competitor so we took that photo ID and searched for it in DepositPhotos. Luckily, it was the same ID and photo so we downloaded it for half the price and completed our client’s request.

In conclusion, finding the perfect stock photography websites for your creative projects is essential. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one.
