Cue the confetti, grab your favorite beverage, and join us in a happy dance because …
Fit Bottomed Girls was just named one of FeedSpot’s Best Fitness Blogs & Websites AND Best Women’s Fitness Podcasts of 2025!
Yes, both. 🏆🏆
As one of the longest-running women’s health platforms in the game, this recognition means the world to us—not just because we made the list, but because it affirms the mission we’ve been championing since day one: changing the conversation around fitness, health, and wellness for women.
In a world overflowing with clickbait health advice, bogus and unregulated supplement claims, detox scams, and wellness influencers who suggest sticking coffee up your butt to cure all that ails you, we’re over here doing something a little different …
Serving up real, science-backed, bullshit-free conversations about fitness, health, and strength for women—without the shame, skinny obsession, or six-pack mandates.
So to see this work recognized? After 17 years of publishing, podcasting, myth-busting, lifting women up (sometimes literally)?
It’s such a flippin’ honor.
Meet the Voices Behind the Magic
This recognition isn’t just a win for the brand—it’s a celebration of the fierce, funny, and wise women who help me bring content to you every week.
- Alex helps you reach your goals without burnout and has a gift for turning nervous system work into feel-good self-leadership.
- Naomi is your go-to for feminist fire and anti-diet-culture mic drops, all grounded in science and lived experience.
- Karin brings warmth, nuance, accessibility, and evidence-based wisdom to everything she touches.
- Marlene offers grounded, compassionate, and refreshingly real-life takes on nourishment and motherhood.
- Krysty empowers by sharing her journey to radical self-acceptance through sobriety and bucking wellness industry BS.
Together, they make FBG what it is: a soft place to land and a strong push forward.
As Editor-in Chief of this talented crew of expert coaches, teachers, writers, and athletes, I could not be more stoked with the professionalism, creativity, and care that I see from this group every single day.
Why This Matters Right Now
This recognition of both the blog and podcast isn’t just about bragging rights (though we’ll totally take them). It’s about credibility in a landscape that’s gotten louder, scarier, and more misinformed by the day.
Let’s be real—there’s no shortage of health and wellness content out there these days. But not all of it is good. In fact, a lot of what’s out there is confusing at best and downright dangerous at worst—especially for women and menstruating individuals navigating aging, hormones, fitness, and body image in a culture that still profits from our insecurities and self-doubt.
That’s why this moment matters.
At a time when clickbait headlines, diet scams, and viral “wellness hacks” dominate the algorithm, being recognized for our evidence-based, empowering, and inclusive content is a reminder that truth-telling still matters. And that’s exactly what we’ve always been about.
Women and menstruating individuals deserve better than:
- Lies that leverage their poor self-esteem to make money
- Fear-mongering over perfectly normal anatomical responses like hormone fluctuations
- More “shoulds” to add to their already-overflowing to-do lists with no support
- Shame-inducing content that blames them for “making excuses” instead of recognizing the weight of their emotional labor
They deserve smart content. Grounded science. Permission to listen to their bodies. And a place to belong while doing it.
That’s what we’ve been doing since 2008—and we’re just getting warmed up.
A Huge Thank You to Our Readers (Yes, You)
This recognition isn’t just about us—it’s about you, our readers.
You’re the ones who show up for thoughtful, science-backed content. Who care about training for strength, not just shrinking. Who want to feel good in your body and challenge the status quo. You’re the reason we keep doing what we do—and why we’ve been able to do it for nearly two decades.
