The rankings of record
The FitBodega 100
The people, places, and spaces that define training culture. We’ve developed an algorithm based on reach (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok full weight; X half), engagement, credibility, commerce, and consistency — and a monthly review that promotes and relegates.

How it works
Six factors
Every list scores six weighted factors tuned to its subject — reach is measured the same way everywhere; the judgment factors change with the territory.
Hard gates
Coaches must actually coach. Nutritionists must hold real credentials. Gyms must be places you can walk into.
Monthly review
Rankings are reviewed monthly. New names bubble up, closures and fades drop out, and every list keeps a public on-the-radar tier.
