Please provide me with a list of the 30 biggest accounts on Twitter for health/fitness.
Hi there, thank you for your question looking for a list of the 30 biggest health/fitness accounts on Twitter.
Normally at Wonder we restrict answers to 10 responses in order to keep them within practical limits, but because you were merely looking for a list of names/follower numbers 30 seemed reasonable on this occasion. The resulting spreadsheet can be found as the last link in the links section.
Methodology
"Health and Fitness" is of course a fairly large and amorphous category, and I had to make some decisions as to which twitter accounts I would include in the list. To that end I included individuals of various kinds, as well as editorial type accounts for prominent publications in the field (Fitness Magazine, Runner's World etc.) that often included fitness tips the same way the personal trainers did on their own accounts. I did not include accounts for magazines or other commercial items that seemed primarily interested in selling their product. I also drew a line between Health and Fitness and Health and Beauty, and between individuals who were primarily associated with cookbooks,diet guides or clean food movements, as both Beauty and Food accounts seemed to belong to a different category.
Results
As "Health and Fitness" were defined for this question, there were a number of large (500k+) accounts attached to various publications and organizations, but only a few trainers who had that level of popularity, largely due to TV appearances raising their profiles. Most personalities without that sort of platform ranged from 300,000 followers on down to fewer than 100,000, and in fact there were dozens of well respected trainers and others who fell just short of the cutoff on the spreadsheet, ranging from 10k-40k followers. Obviously if "Health and Fitness" were to be defined more broadly to include all the associated apparel companies, yoga/well being, nutritionists etc. etc., the list would end up looking considerably different.
Because of the unusual number of items in this answer, the links section here is quite extensive. The most important item for you of course is the spreadsheet, which can be found here.
Conclusion
Ok thank you very much for the question I hope the spreadsheet and links provide you with all the results you were looking for. Should you be interested in an even more extensive list, there were literally dozens of respected trainers and outlets that came up in the research but did not quite qualify for a Top 30 list.
Well, best of luck to you, and thanks for using Wonder!
