EAT MORE FOOD AND READ THE RULES AND SIDEBAR BEFORE YOU POST!
We analyzed the published rules of these 18 communities: 7 prohibit self-promotion outright, 8 allow it only under conditions (designated threads, participation ratios, or moderator approval). The biggest audience is r/Fitness with 12.6M members; note that r/nutrition is among those that explicitly ban promotional posts. Always open a community's rules link before posting — it takes a minute and protects your account.
Fitness Reddit runs on progress stories and evidence. The communities have seen every fad — what earns respect is consistency documented over time: before/after posts with routines attached, honest struggle threads, and answers that cite actual experience. Read each community's wiki first; r/Fitness in particular redirects most beginner questions to its excellent guides, and posting a question the wiki answers gets your post removed.
Health is also where Reddit's skepticism peaks — supplement sellers and program peddlers are spotted and banned faster here than almost anywhere. If you have a fitness product, the viable route is the weekly discussion threads, transparent founder posts where allowed, and being genuinely useful in comments. The audiences are enormous and loyal, but only to people who clearly train themselves.
r/Fitness has the most comprehensive beginner wiki on the internet — start with its recommended routines before posting anything. r/bodyweightfitness is ideal if you have no gym access, and r/loseit provides a supportive community for weight loss with daily accountability threads. All three prioritize helping newcomers who show they've read the basics.
Friendly to their knowledge, hostile to their marketing. Most ban links to coaching services and paid programs. Trainers build audiences here by answering form-check posts and programming questions in detail — the profile click-through comes naturally from being visibly expert, not from promotion.
