Many collegiettes have jumped on the expensive gym bandwagon – whether it’s a barre studio, Orange Theory, or a local gym all their friends go to. I’m not against these trends by any means (working out is partly a social event, is it not?), but I may have stumbled upon the greatest YouTube account that has the potential to change your mind about your $100+ per month gym. The creator’s name is Caleb Marshall and he and his two backup dancers, Haley and Bria (he refers to them as “backup booty”) are captivating. His stage name is “The Fitness Marshall,” a play on his last name, and after watching one video, you too will be obsessed.

As someone who has absolutely no desire to go to the gym or any dance skill at all, The Fitness Marshall’s videos make actually want to get out of bed and do something. In fact, he has his own tour where he travels the country, with events called “Cardio Concerts,” and he is also available for private bookings. Who knows, maybe he will start performing at waltzes or other Florida State events. Unsurprisingly, the 24-year old dancer has cited Britney Spears as his inspiration for his fun and upbeat dance moves.
The first time you watch a Fitness Marshall video, it is easy to think that the whole thing is a joke, but after dancing to a few of the videos, you’ll have worked up both a sweat and an addiction to these online fitness videos. Although I’ve never met Marshall, I have a feeling we would become best friends almost immediately. His energy is infectious and the best part of this program is you can get fit from the comfort of your home. So who’s with me in canceling those gym memberships and subscribing to The Fitness Marshall?
