Our roundup of the hottest gay personal trainers for your online workouts and improve your fitness… And yes, they are HOT!

Covid lockdowns (remember those times?) hit us all badly. For those of us working in the travel industry, it was one massive gut punch, which will take years to recover from.

But on the bright side, how many of us benefited from the lockdowns to learn new skills? Maybe you took up home yoga? Baked tons of banana bread? Taught yourself Spanish? Took up home workouts?

In this article, we feature some of our favorite online gay personal trainers we've been using who offer workouts and invaluable fitness resources. And yes, these lads are hot as f***, which, let's face it, helps massively with keeping up your motivation, right?
