Fitness blog themes come in a variety of different shapes and sizes as they can be used by a variety of different businesses and individuals. Personal trainers and your average health, beauty and fitness lovers would do well with a minimalist blog theme while professionals would probably prefer a fully-fledged business theme with blogging capabilities. Let’s not forget those who want to build their own online fitness publication with the help of a news or magazine theme.
Like I said, fitness blog themes come in different forms, which is why we’ve created this collection over 15 fitness blog themes for you to choose from. From minimalist lifestyle blogging themes to decked out fitness themes with well-designed landing pages, this list contains a bit of everything.
But first, let’s go over the features you should for in a fitness blog theme.
Features to Look for in Fitness Blog Themes
Style is an important component in web design, but your decision should ultimately come down to the type of website you need to build. First, a quick recap on the types of themes that make appearances in this collection:
- Blogging Themes
- Fitness-Specific Business Themes
- News & Magazine Themes
Choose a blogging or news/magazine theme if content creation will be the main focus of your website. This means you may release a product somewhere down the line, but generating sales will never be the primary focus of your website. In this scenario, building an audience should be your goal.
Choose a business theme designed for the fitness niche if you’re a personal trainer or gym that provides professional fitness services, products or entire classes to customers but you want an active blog to be a driving force in your marketing plan. Generating sales will be the primary focus of your website, but your goal in this scenario should be to attract more leads by driving traffic to your blog.
Let’s simplify the difference between a blogging theme and magazine theme in case you’re confused about which one to go with. Choose a blogging theme if you’ll be the only writer for your blog and you intend to have one central focus or publishing schedule. Choose a news or magazine theme if you plan on building a writing team with the intention of publishing several times a week (or even several times a day) on a variety of different fitness-related topics that don’t necessarily relate to one another.
With that said, let’s get to the collection. Without further ado, here are 15+ fitness blog themes for WordPress.

Final Thoughts
Fitness blog themes come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, as you can see. Just remember to narrow your choices down to the themes that make sense for the goals your business is trying to accomplish. Your website needs to work for your business no matter what niche you’re in. It can’t do that if you choose a minimalist blogging theme when you probably should have gone with a fully-fledged business theme.
Decide what goals you or your client wants to accomplish in your business, and narrow down your list of options to themes that complement those goals. It’s just a matter of deciding which styles and features you feel would work best for you after that.
