What is the meaning of ‘hot girl fit’ on TikTok? Understanding the phrase Anyone But You

While scrolling through TikTok, you may have encountered the trending phrase “hot girl fit”on your For You Page. This trend has gained popularity after the debut of the edgy romantic comedy Anyone But You.

The phrase has been gaining popularity on multiple social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Twitter, as a trendy way to describe a specific athletic and lifestyle aesthetic. So, what is its significance and how does it relate to Sydney Sweeney’s film?

What does ‘hot girl fit’ mean?

The term ‘hot girl fit’ is derived from the popular trend known as ‘hot girl summer’, which was coined by rapper Megan Thee Stallion. While ‘hot girl summer’ promotes a season of enjoyment, self-acceptance, and autonomy, ‘hot girl fit’ specifically focuses on the physical aspects of this mindset.

The concept of Anyone But You is specifically geared towards gym enthusiasts who focus on weightlifting while neglecting cardio. According to Will McLaren, head coach at KXU studio in London, this is a common issue among many men. He compared it to having a Ferrari chassis with a Fiat engine, emphasizing the importance of incorporating both weightlifting and cardio for optimal results. This was stated in an interview with Yahoo! News.

According to the source, the phrase ‘hot girl fit’ likely originated from the concept of women in Lululemon attire who enjoy showcasing their performative fitness to their paid followers. This type of fitness is not particularly suitable for activities that require stamina or endurance.

In the movie Anyone But You, there is a moment where Ben (Glen Powell) and Bea (Sydney Sweeney) are swimming in the ocean. Ben begins to struggle and becomes breathless, unable to keep up with Bea. This is how the term is portrayed in the film.

“She asks him why he is so out of breath. He insists that he is fine, but his struggles are evident. Bea points out that he has a well-defined physique, to which Ben responds irritably that he is not out of shape. He brags about being able to bench press 295 pounds, but admits that he does not do cardio.”

“Oh my God, you’re looking great,”Bea compliments him. “I don’t think so,”he responds with a shout.

The ‘rat girl summer’ trend was not the only ‘girl’ term to gain popularity on TikTok. It became a sensation in August 2023, as it encouraged young women to emulate the behavior of city rats.
