YouTube Exercise Vids You’ll Actually Want to Do

There are people who love the gym. There’s equipment everywhere, trainers at the ready, group classes where you can learn fun gym-y things—it can seem like a fitness dream. But for some of us, that IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. I don’t like the gym. To me, the gym means paying a monthly charge to experience loads of people communally sweating on each other, bacteria-ridden locker rooms, and people giving you the old stink eye while you’re just trying to work out. If you feel the same, fret not, Thanks to the magic of YouTube, we have endless access to all types of trainers and exercise routines in the comfort of our homes. Check out these Youtube channels to start your get-in-shape journey without ever leaving the house or spend a dime.

Cassey is endlessly peppy and chit-chats throughout videos. So if you’d rather just buckle down and fire through your workout, she might not be for you. But if you want to train with a chatty chum, Cassey’s your gal.
