All throughout 2020, millions of people turned to Instagram and Facebook for workout inspiration and information, encountering thousands of trainers who taught them how to get stronger, faster, and better.

How many of these trainers actually made you want to work out even more?

Each challenge will be judged by a panel of elite Men’s Health trainers (and a few surprise celebrity guests).

Our goal: Find the most electric, innovative, and driven trainer to help us motivate the masses to get into the best shape of their lives. That trainer wins a boatload too: A cash prize, a chance to work on Men’s Health’s video channels, a workout in the magazine, and the coveted title of Men’s Health’s Next Trainer.
