It’s been a very long while since I compiled a list of Youtube fitness channels. Since then many more fitness gurus joined Youtube and I’ve been receiving a steady flow of suggestions from my readers of who I should include in my list.
As you look and explore all the channels below you will find mixture of fitness related content. Some Youtube fitness channels contain only workouts, some have recipes and some fitness gurus will even share motivational content. I’ve included fitness channels for women, fitness channels for men and many that will appeal to both sexes. If you have a favorite Youtube fitness channel or a fitness guru you follow that’s not on this list please do share in the comments below.
