Sam Sulek is an American YouTuber and fitness influencer.

Life and career

Sulek attended Rutherford B. Hayes High School in Delaware, Ohio, where he began competitively diving in the summer before his junior year.[1] Sulek began attending Miami University in 2020, where he also joined the school's diving team and, as of 2023, is studying mechanical engineering.[2][3][4] Sulek began posting videos of his visits to the gym in January 2023. Since he began posting and as of 2024, his videos have all followed the same format, showing him speaking in his car on the way to the gym, his workout at the gym, then him speaking in his car again. By 2024, Sulek had more than three million subscribers on YouTube and more than 5.7 million followers on Instagram.[5][6]

Public image

For The New York Times, Chris Almeida wrote that Sulek had "[chosen] a vision and [was] sticking to it" by trusting his viewers and that he had "become a fascination not simply because he is physically massive and fairly charming, but because of his almost defiant commitment to a lo-fi strategy" on YouTube. Stephen Buranyi of The Guardian referred to Sulek as "the current king" of fitness influencers in 2024 and "the perfect example of an influencer" due to his relatability, humility, and normalcy, also noting that he was "the person most mentioned by young men [using steroids that he] spoke with".[6] Also in 2024, Eliana Riley, for The Miami Student, called Sulek "one of the biggest gym influencers on social media right now".[2]
