ATHLEAN-X™ VS 
WORKOUT
Two fitness channels, compared on the numbers that actually move a video rather than subscriber vanity. ATHLEAN-X™ sits at 14M subscribers with a typical 697K views per upload; WORKOUT at 8.7M with about 17K. Below is the full head-to-head plus the titles that win for each.
On this data ATHLEAN-X™ is the stronger performer of the two - it wins on both consistency (a 17% hit-rate, i.e. how often an upload beats 2x its own median) and reach (697K median views). The other channel isn't behind on size so much as on how reliably its uploads land.

The words that keep showing up in each channel's winning titles differ too: ATHLEAN-X™ leans on proper form, stop doing, stop cking, build muscle, while WORKOUT leans on these exercises, morning exercise, every morning, exercises build.
