Caleb Marshall, better known as The Fitness Marshall, is not just a fitness instructor — he’s a full-blown pop star of the workout world.
Hailed as the modern-day Richard Simmons meets Britney Spears, Caleb has taken over the internet with his high-energy, easy-to-follow dance workouts that make fitness feel like a non-stop party. With over 6.5 million subscribers on YouTube and a jaw-dropping 2 billion views, The Fitness Marshall has built a fitness empire that welcomes every age, size, ability, color, and gender expression to the dance floor.
His infectious energy isn’t just limited to screens — Caleb sells out live cardio concerts around the world, proving that his community of “Backup Booties” is stronger than ever. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s one of YouTube’s top creators utilizing the platform’s membership feature, offering exclusive long-form workouts to a global audience.

Beyond dance, Caleb is making waves in the fashion world with his inclusive activewear brand, Active Booty. Designed to celebrate all body types, the collection offers sizes ranging from 5X to XS, ensuring that everyone can feel confident and supported while they move. Each piece is carefully tailored to address the unique needs of every size, because, as Caleb puts it, “No matter where you are in your journey, you have a place with us on the dance floor.”
Celeb Secrets caught up with Caleb at the LA Art Show last Wednesday (February 19) where he was supporting the American Heart Association. When asked why he wanted to be a part of the event, he shared, “The American Heart Association reached out to me, and I have worked with them before. I was just so excited to be a part of anything that they are a part of. This is my first time here, and I just can’t wait to see what the night holds.”
With a social media presence as vibrant as his dance routines, Caleb keeps his fans engaged with his fun and chaotic energy. When we asked him how he stays so positive, he didn’t hesitate: “I think I’m just delusionally optimistic, and I’ve always been that way. And I also drink a lot of coffee! Honestly, she gets me through. And Britney Spears. Anytime I’m sad or just not feeling myself, I’ll go in the bathroom, look in the mirror, tell myself I’m a pop star, put on some music—some Tate McRae, some Sabrina Carpenter—and just have the best time. It reinvigorates me.”
His latest dance workout video, set to the explicit version of “Fat Juicy & Wet” by Bruno Mars and Sexyy Red, is a testament to his fearless and unapologetic approach to fitness entertainment. “People think our YouTube videos are a green screen, but we are always actually in the park with real people,” Caleb revealed. “When we shot ‘Fat Juicy & Wet,’ we played the explicit version. All of the hikers walking past us were hearing the nastiest, filthiest things, and we were just out there dancing. It’s all real. We’re just putting ourselves out there.”
Even when TikTok had a power outage, Caleb found a way to turn it into a dramatic moment. “I was at the Pantages seeing Wicked, and I looked at my phone, and it was like, ‘TikTok is not available right now.’ If I didn’t have Glinda and Elphaba there to get me through this, I would have just fallen on the floor.”
With a career that seamlessly blends fitness, entertainment, and inclusivity, Caleb Marshall isn’t just making people sweat—he’s making them feel seen, heard, and celebrated. And as for what’s next? He teased something big coming soon that has to do with how he gets his spark and energy. Whatever it is, we know it’ll be just as iconic as his dance workouts.
For now, we’ll be over here putting on our favorite playlist, channeling our inner pop star, and following The Fitness Marshall’s lead — one booty shake at a time.
