Couples who sweat together, stay together? The saying must be true. Last Week in New York City, the talented fiancées, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, were seen on an arduous bike ride—and sporting spandex, sweat-soaked strands, and matching helmets, no less.

And, from a quick look at Instagram’s fittest and finest celebrity couples, it seems the fitness-minded pop star and actress are not alone.
Singer Ciara and her superstar athlete husband, Russell Wilson, stay active by tossing around a football while Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell—together for an impressive 35 years—spend their time outdoors on his-and-hers mountain bikes.

And perhaps the ultimate powerhouse pair? Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez know the key to relationship bliss: Whether on a yacht in Capri or in an empty stadium, the duo can be seen motivating others with a series of burpees, pull-ups, and planks—and they’re just getting started.
