Londoners John and Leon favour living rooms over gyms when it comes to recording their fat-blasting workouts. If you are a bit of a gym-bunny, however, the ‘Machines do have some great weight-room tips, including recipe suggestions for those looking to fuel big sessions.

What the channel lacks in slick Hollywood gloss it more than make up for with jargon-free advice and easy-to-follow workouts that offer impressive results – for proof of that, take a look at the some of the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos sent in by The Lean Machines’ subscribers.

As ex-personal trainers, John and Leon know that fitness and working-out can feel intimidating to many, and they’re great at injecting LOLs into their videos to keep you feeling at ease and involved.

The workouts themselves are pretty heads-down serious, but the channel also boasts plenty of vids designed solely to get you motivated and/or chuckling. Particularly funny are the lads’ harsh-but-fair piss-takes of the characters you can find in any gym in the land…

Perfect for: The budding triathlete (with a sense of humour) who’s looking to improve their overall strength and fitness.
