You’d be hard-pressed to find a faster-moving industry than the fitness world.

Not only that, but they’re the perfect quick pick-me-up when you’re in need of a quick motivation boost to get you to the gym! Whether you’re in need of inspiration, information or a bit of both, these are the 7 best fitness podcasts to listen to in 2019.
1. The Healthy Hustlers
Let’s be honest, we all love to have a stickybeak into the health and fitness routines of entrepreneurs, influencers and models. Best friends Amy and Madelyn allow us to do just that with the Healthy Hustlers podcast. They’ve interviewed everyone from Kayla Itsines and the BUF Girls to Jess Sepel and Lola Berry about how they stay fit and healthy while kicking serious career goals.

2. The BodyLove Project
The BodyLove Project isn’t a traditional fitness podcast in the sense that it covers workout tips and trends. Rather, host Jessi Haggerty, a nutritionist and PT, is all about promoting body confidence in the health and fitness industry. Jessi goes deep with her guests on topics like loving your body at any stage of your fitness journey to how we can make gyms a more inclusive place.

Okay, so we’ve mentioned YouTuber Sarah’s Day’s The Health Code before. But as one of Australia’s top health and fitness podcasts, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mention it again here!
