It used to be that if you ever wanted to be up on the latest fitness topics and learn how to be your best self, you had to pick up a magazine (and risk the papercuts!) or watch late-night infomercials filled with people in leotards. Fortunately, those days are far behind us. Nowadays, you just jump on YouTube to learn about anything and everything, even how really fit people go about living an average day.

Still, YouTube can often feel like the Wild West. Everyone thinks they’re the go-to for fitness information or motivation. Only a few have successfully built this name for themselves through the combination of relatability, superb information, and basically just being all-around inspiring.

I’ve scoured all of YouTube to find some of the best fitness YouTubers, and after many debates and arm-wrestling matches, I’ve come up with this list of three fitness YouTubers that offer safe and reliable fitness advice.
