Cory Rosenthal, 20 from Marlboro, New Jersey, is on pace to become one of the most recognizable fitness influencers in the market and here’s why. You ever see someone online torturing themselves only to get a workout in, constantly drowning himself or crawling for miles. Chances are it was Rosenthal. It’s not crossfit, it’s not weightlifting, it’s not even calisthenics, no one knows or can describe what it is, but it sure is entertaining and most of his fans find this motivating as well. Rosenthal has been ranked as one of the youngest, innovating influencers on social media. He’s been seen on Barstoolsports, Houseofhighlights, Memezar, just to name a few. When asked how he comes up with these insane workouts, he responds “To me it’s my everyday life, do something that’s different. If you’re always taking hot showers, take a cold shower. Brush your teeth on one leg. It’s the small stuff like that.” This 20 year old kid is a Tiktok star, bringing millions of viewers to his page. “I ignore the numbers, I ignore the comments for the most part, numbers don’t mean much to me, I’d rather it be numbers of how many people’s lives I changed or motivated. I’d rather it be how many people I have motivated by getting off the couch and watching another episode with a bag of chips. Views, and followers mean nothing to me, but how many people I’ve actually helped change their life means everything to me.”
The influencer is on top of his game and at such a young age, the future holds much of an upward trend. Asked about what his near future looks like and his goals, he says “I mean yeah, i’ve always wanted to have that encounter where i’ve been stopped on the street to take a picture with a fan, or even have my accounts verified. But to me it’s the bigger picture, helping others, raising awareness, whatever it may be, I want to leave a mark and have an impact on the world”. Rosenthal, who is just 20 years old and an Indiana University student has bear-crawled 10 miles raising over $5,000 for First Responder’s Children’s Foundation and we can only wait to see what the next challenge and near future look like for this kid.
