Mr. E even praises Vince for doing such a good job exercising.

* ''VideoGame/BlueArchive' has Sumire Otohana, Who she'd get along well with fellow jock [[Characters/BlueArchiveAbydosHighSchool Shiroko]] (and apparently does in a scene of them together in this [[https://youtu.be/RgHiiuahpRU 1st anniversary video]]). She's got her mind set on exercise, her café chibi animation have her lifting a dumbbell without stopping, and she [[DumbJock gets genuinely confused by people not liking fitness]] or not keeping up with her.
** She tries to subvert this when going out with Sensei in her Relationship Story as a break from exercise, but tends to wind up discussing exercise-related topics anyway.
** In ''On Your Marks!'', her club members slipped away during training... understandably, because it's happening in the middle of the night. Sumire says the anaerobic exercises were 'only' four hours a day at most.

* Chris Traeger from ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. Health-obsessed to an extreme, he considers a 10k run a "light" exercise, takes insane amounts of vitamins, and eats very carefully. This likely stems from the fact that he was a sickly baby who wasn't supposed to survive his early years.

This likely stems from the fact that he was a sickly baby who wasn't supposed to survive his early years. This is deconstructed in a number of episodes where he has a bad relationship with his own mortality, as he emotionally implodes when he gets sick or reminded he is still a man in his forties.

** The crew revisit a planet last seen in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', where the population had gotten addicted to a drug originally used to cure a plague and Picard left them to deal with going clean by not repairing the ships used for the drug trade. Twenty years later the population managed to get everyone through rehab, after some ''nasty'' withdrawals, but had compensated through [[AddictionDisplacement an exaggerated focus on exercise and fitness]] (which is TruthInTelevision, as many addicts manage to recover through fitness as it keeps them busy and helps balance their body chemistry).

A fitness nut is someone who is obsessed with working out, whether they're doing this for health, bodybuilding, or simply because they genuinely enjoy the exercise. These people likely carry around weights wherever they go, and might randomly break into exercise (jogging, weight-lifting, etc.) whenever they get idle. They might also live on an extremely strict, high-protein, fat-and-carb-free, "healthy" diet, and look down on people who aren't as health conscious--regarding them as lazy and gluttonous slobs. If he (and it's often a he) goes to the beach, he might act like a MuscleBeachBum who is overeager to show off the results of his intensive training regimen.

No sooner are all the new witches brought together than Rosa decides to begin doing sets of push-ups for no apparent reason. Rosa is also noticeably more athletic than the other rookies (many of whom seem to expect that magic, as opposed to muscles, is what they need to win fights).

* ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'': DownplayedTrope, but Rafael works out a lot. After going to the gym with him once in [[Recap/JaneTheVirginS3E5ChapterFortyNine "Chapter 49"]], Michael thinks Rafael is kind of slutty and vain in this way--that he's doing it for MrFanservice and WorkoutFanservice reasons. That's not entirely untrue, but Raf later clarifies that there's another, more sympatric reason too: "I had cancer. That's why I'm so focused now. I like controlling my health."
