Five Fitness Influencers Everyone’s Talking About in 2025
Healthy’s Summary
Fitness isn’t just about gym memberships anymore — it’s about real-life routines, goals that actually fit your schedule, and people who inspire you from your phone screen. Whether you’re trying to move more, get stronger, or just feel better, today’s top fitness influencers are doing way more than posting before-and-after shots.
This list isn’t just about who has the most followers. It’s about who’s actually showing up for their communities in 2025 — with real advice, inclusive workouts, and energy that makes healthy living feel a little more doable. We’re highlighting five; not just for popularity, but for authenticity, accessibility, and the unique ways they’re shifting what fitness means.
Just remember: what’s “top” for one person might not be the right fit for someone else. Your age, health history, energy levels, and lifestyle all shape what kind of fitness guidance works best for you.
These 5 Fitness Influencers Are Changing the Game in 2025
1. Chloe Ting – Still the Queen of Home Workouts
Chloe Ting’s viral YouTube workouts are still a fan favorite — and for good reason. She offers short, effective routines (many of them free), and she’s expanded into strength training, recovery, and mobility. Her programs are structured but not intimidating, making her a staple for beginners and regulars alike.
Why people love her: She’s relatable, consistent, and offers everything from abs to low-impact cardio, all without the pressure of perfection.
2. Joe Holder – The Trainer Who Makes You Think
Joe is not your average fitness influencer. A Nike Master Trainer, plant-based performance coach, and the creator of the “Exercise Snacks” movement, he blends physical training with deep wellness philosophy. He’s all about making fitness smarter — and more human.
Why people love him: He mixes science-backed advice with sustainable habits, making health feel less like a trend and more like a lifestyle.
3. Nancy Anderson – The Go-To for Postpartum Fitness
Nancy Anderson is a certified pre- and postnatal fitness expert who has completely changed the game for new moms. Through her Move Your Bump and The M.A.M.A. Method programs, she offers tailored workouts, nutrition guidance, and pelvic floor rehab — all created with postpartum bodies in mind.
Why people love her: She’s deeply informed, refreshingly honest, and focused on healing and strength — not “bouncing back.” Her programs help moms reconnect with their bodies in a safe, empowering way.
4. Da’Vonne Rogers – Real Talk Meets Real Results
Da’Vonne’s unique approach to fitness and wellness blends movement with mental health, journaling, and radical honesty. Her “Healing While Hustling” content on TikTok speaks to people who are juggling it all — work, family, burnout — and still want to show up for their health.

Why people love her: She’s not trying to be perfect. She’s trying to be present — and helps others do the same.
5. James Stirling (aka The London Fitness Guy) – The Everyday Athlete
James makes fitness feel simple, even when life’s chaotic. With realistic, equipment-free routines and a “just get moving” mentality, he connects with people who want progress over perfection. His workouts are short, sweat-inducing, and easy to follow.
Why people love him: He’s consistent, practical, and never preachy. Less gym bro, more gym buddy.
Wellness Influencers Are Everywhere. That’s Not a Bad Thing.
Fitness used to live in gyms and group classes. Now? It’s in your phone, your feed, your For You page — and it’s led by people who often feel more like friends than professionals. That’s the rise of the influencer.
And honestly, it makes sense. These creators are meeting people where they are: at home, on lunch breaks, in between Zoom calls. They offer quick workouts, relatable motivation, and that feeling of “if they can do it, maybe I can too.”
But the real win here? Choice. You don’t have to follow the loudest voice — you can follow the one that fits your life, your needs, and your energy. Whether you want postpartum strength tips, mental health check-ins, or 10-minute mobility routines, there’s someone out there who gets it.
And that’s kind of the beauty of it all. You get to pick your team.
The Takeaway
Whether you’re easing into fitness or already crushing morning workouts, finding the right influencer is about connection, not comparison. These five bring a mix of strength, science, vulnerability, and personality that makes health feel like something you can actually enjoy — not just endure.
The best fitness guide isn’t the one with the most followers. It’s the one who gets you.
