YouTube stars John Chapman and Leon Bustin are personal trainers, nutritionists and bloggers too. Their blog, The Lean Machines, teaches you how to eat and train well, but what we really like about this site is the way it tackles other issues men face in the workout world. From posts on the biggest lies in fitness to how social media is making us unhappy, this dynamic duo provides a well rounded approach to working out and everything that comes with it.
