During this whole quarantine, I’ve realized something. I watch a lot of TikToks (7+ hours a day to be exact). Shocking. I know, yet I’m not ashamed. I have, however, noticed something interesting about my TikTok feed during this pandemic: there’s been an abundance of workout and motivational fitness videos. Now, I don’t know if this is TikTok’s subtle way of suggesting I lose a few pounds or avoid gaining the dreaded COVID-19. More than likely, it’s merely content generated by an algorithm. Regardless, these workouts are abundant on my TikTok For You Page and have sparked the drive for me to be more active. So now, the question we all want to be answered is which “fitness experts” are legitimate and whose workouts are actually useful. Well, don’t stress, I’ve done the research for you. Here are the fitness and health accounts I recommend you consider for your quarantine workouts.
1. Jordyn Trenholm
You may have seen Jordyn on your For You Page at least once. She demonstrates some of my favorite workouts right from her own bedroom. Any of her core workouts generate an effective burn, and if you don’t believe me, just look at her chiseled abs. Those abs speak volumes. Jordyn herself says that “As a qualified and accredited trainer from The National Academy of Sports Medicine, I have a goal of helping people of all ages achieve their goal bodies by feeling happier and healthier,” Trenholm states.

2. Lucy Davis
Want your legs to feel like they’re on fire? Want to get a bigger butt? Two words. Lucy. Davis. This fitness fanatic has shared the story of her weight gain transformation, which resulted in building her own booty. She hopes to inspire others to develop and embrace their muscles. Lucy will give you the best leg day exercises ever and even has some great arms workouts. If you want to be sore, Lucy’s your girl. Instagram: @lucydavis_fit TikTok:@lucydavisfit
3. Elena Stavinoha
This ex-college softball player has decided to take her fitness expertise to the TikTok platform. And she’s killing it. She has a follower base of almost 807.6K on TikTok, who tune in to see her weekly workout videos. Her page features a variety of workouts ranging from abs, legs, glutes, to arms. You name it. She even incorporates clips of her lying on the floor, breathing heavily after an intense leg day workout. Elena’s not afraid to show the real pain behind a solid workout.

4. Kelly Yager
Could you imagine a tough workout that’s actually fun? Yeah, I didn’t think it was possible either. Enter Kelly Yager. Her page features lots of dancing, whether it’s before or after her workouts as she shows you how to make working out fun. So if you are the type that needs to incorporate fun in your workout, visit her YouTube channel, which features a variety of exercises. Additionally, you can watch her workout clothing hauls, some pretty cute things in there! Instagram: @klynneyager Tiktok: @kylnneyager
5. Desiree Pfeifer
This fitness expert wants to help you “create the best you.” She shares her body transformation from volleyball, Crossfit and bodybuilding. She emphasizes the importance of “body positivity” in society today and acknowledges that everyone struggles with their insecurities, whether they show it or not. Her channel ranges from “What I eat in a day” to nutrition tips to workouts. She’ll even do livestream HIIT workouts with her audience. It’s like having your very own personal trainer right there guiding you. Instagram: @desb__ TikTok: @desb__
