Season 18 of The Bachelorette is in full swing and will continue airing on primetime TV throughout the fall on Tuesdays at 8 pm E.T. Michelle Young’s season features a diverse group of men from all over North America, but one thing a few of them have in common is their love of fitness and staying active.
Obviously, this article was written by the girls in the office since we all watched the premiere and chose our favorites- but we still had to run it by Houston’s Official “Fitness Czar”, 4 X #1 Fitness Trainer in America, and HFR founder Samir Becic to get his… expert opinion on it. He vetted these guys and put his professional stamp of approval on their fitness acumen.
Mirror, mirror on the wall… who is the fittest contestant of them all? Keep reading to see which of Michelle Young’s contestants lead the most active lifestyles (in no particular order):
Martin Gelbspan
It’s probably not much of a surprise that we are starting off our list with the man who man his entrance out of the limo doing a backflip! Martin is a fitness trainer, and his Instagram features workout and workout (and his signature backflips). If you’re looking for #fitspo, this is the guy to follow this season…
Clayton Echard
This former NFL Seattle Seahawks tight end is undoubtedly in great shape- his Instagram features several workout videos and even posts explaining how bodybuilding works. In his LinkedIn bio, Claytons also describes his love for healthy living “When I am not spending time in the OR, working on my MBA and/or working out, I enjoy hiking and biking on the nature trails around the Columbia area. I make it my duty to emphasize living a healthy lifestyle, therefore I exercise daily and am in the process of learning to cook healthy meals that also surprisingly have flavor!”
Jamie Skaar
Jamie is all in on healthy lifestyle! His Instagram is full of motivational videos, hiking trips, workout tips, and even wellness hacks (like restriction bands and reflexology sandals!) He clearly enjoys living healthy and working on his mental motivation as much as his physical prowess.
Olumide Onajide
As a model, Olumide needs to stay in shape, but it’s clear from his Instagram that fitness has been a part of his lifestyle for a long time. Once ranked one of the top 100 basketball players in New Jersey and a college athlete, Olumide was also on the televised game of Ultimate Tag earlier this year, running at full speed!
Nayte Olukoya
Nayte is a towering 6’8″ with an athletic build- on his Instagram, you can see he enjoys the outdoors by paddleboarding, hiking, and walking his dog Percy. He also posts about reading for self-development and growth, an important aspect of health and wellness.
Romeo Alexander
Not only does Romeo have a PhD in Atmosphere-Ocean Science and Mathematics from NYU but he also enjoys kickboxing and weight training. Brains and braun? Sign us up!
PJ Henderson
PJ is a firefighter in Houston, TX, a career which we know is physically demanding. After going through his Instagram, we found a workout highlight where he can be seen doing pull-ups, calisthenics, and lifting weights.
JoMarri Gable
JoMarri is a personal trainer whose Instagram content does not disappoint. He not only demonstrates his own workouts but also shares how he trains some of his clients. He is undoubtedly one of the fittest men on the show this season.
