21 Best Youtube Fitness Channels
1. Dana Linn Bailey
Dana Linn Bailey is a powerful, female role model, in more ways than one. She has a rock solid body and has achieved natural muscle in a way that women, and even men, would be jealous of. She also is a strong advocate for body acceptance and encourages other women to love their bodies, no matter what they look like. Even as a fitness model, she gets made fun of for how she looks. Comments range from being “too masculine” to not being “soft enough” for a woman. But, Dana wants to be a strong role model for women as an example of how you can love and accept your own body, just like it is. She has stretched the limits of what is possible for the female body and we can’t get enough of her fierce and toned body. She is not just focused on women; her workouts are relevant to men as well. She features a number of powerlifting style instructional videos, as well as practical workouts such as her secrets to training the abs and chest training. Her videos have more of a “diary” feel to them rather than being like a show, often showcasing her road to different competitions and her ups and downs along the way. If a girl/woman wants to get that level of muscle, Dana Linn Bailey is the girl to watch. She has over 380,000 subscribers and is making a splash all over YouTube, even beyond her own channel.

14. Bradley Martyn
Whether or not Bradley’s bulk is natural or not is up for debate; however, he has gained quite a following on YouTube, nonetheless with 1.2 million subscribers. I know, we promised all-natural weightlifters. Since Martyn has never admitted to using steroids, we will assume he is clean. One thing is for sure, he is loved by many. Very few YouTubers have reached this level of followers. He can probably owe some of it to the fact that is loyal and consistent with his viewers, posting 5 videos to YouTube every week at 10 am PST. Have a look.
