The Best Fitness Blogs that we’ve Ever Read

Get into these fantastic fitness blogs from around the world. 

There’s nothing better than coming across a fitness blog that’s filled with genuine, verifiable knowledge. In a sea of misconceptions and false facts, genuine fitness blogs are a rarity. These days, it seems like every personal trainer has an Instagram account or a blog, and it can quickly become confusing.

When you find a blog that carefully researches its content and makes a genuine effort to educate and inform its readers, it’s definitely worth remembering it for the future. We’ve put together a list of the top fitness blogs we recommend so that you can get a dose of some serious knowledge.

Nerd Fitness

Run by Steve Kamb, Nerd Fitness is a great resource for anyone who doesn’t have a strong history in working out or eating healthily.

He focuses on contemporary research and breaks it all down into easily-digested chunks. Whether your goal is losing weight or simply having more energy to live life, Steve has the solution for you.

Workout Mommy

Lisa Gulley is a certified personal trainer who had great success as a group fitness trainer in the past. She’d even run marathons. Then, along came the kids.

Before starting a family, Lisa thought she’d never struggle with fitness. However, with the busy pandemonium of looking after her children, it quickly became very difficult to maintain a regular fitness routine.

In 2007, after her second son came along, Lisa started Workout Mummy. Her goal was to help other mothers become inspired to work out and develop regular exercise habits. Her blog covers practical topics that are geared towards parents, particularly mothers who spend a lot of time with their children.

From fitness gear to martial arts, Workout Mommy has something for everyone.

Summer Tomato

Run by neuroscience PhD Darya Rose, Summer Tomato is a great place to start if you’re ready to make a genuine change to your lifestyle.

Darya was once a chronic yoyo dieter, trying anything it took to achieve fitness goals but often reverting soon after. Her central lesson is that true health isn’t about making extreme sacrifices or having an iron will. It’s all about making simple, easy changes to your lifestyle that add up in the long term.

Darya incorporates fun and enjoyment into her workout routines and provides practical, simple food advice. She advocates regular activity and monitoring your progress, something that many of us fail to do accurately.

Powercakes

Fitfluential ambassador Kasey Arena-Brown has some high quality advice for anyone that has genuinely struggled in the past.

With a past eating disorder, Kasey knows how difficult it can be for people to turn their life around and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Powercakes, launched in 2011, splits its focus between exercise and nutrition.
