Dance cardio YouTube channels experienced a huge boom this year, and Emily Thorne gave us one of the very best. She’s sharing some of the dorkiest and most carefree workout videos you can find online, and some of them are inspired by our favorite musicals.
Fans of musical theater will feel right at home on her YouTube channel emkfit, which is close to reaching 100,000 subscribers. She shared many throwback workouts inspired by our favorite ‘80s and ‘90s hits, but that’s not the only reason to head to her channel.
Thorne became an instant sensation thanks to the videos that pay homage to the popular Broadway musicals. She shared two compilations with songs from Rent, Hamilton, and Grease, in addition to posting separate videos with songs from Mamma Mia and Burlesque.
Thorne isn’t the only personal trainer on YouTube who found fame with workout videos inspired by musicals. Kyra Pro has a similar vision for her channel, and several more YouTubers, including Teagan Dixon and Sharona’s Hill, are sharing music cardio workouts, often inspired by the beloved Disney classics.
