Sheamus recently opened up about the success of his Celtic Warrior Workouts YouTube channel, reflecting on how it all started and the positive impact it has had. In a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Sheamus shared how the channel evolved over time, reaching a major milestone of one million subscribers.
The idea for Celtic Warrior Workouts began during a personal period when Sheamus was struggling with his motivation to train. “We started in Dublin when I was going through issues with my training, and I just kind of lost all motivation to work out,” Sheamus explained. Seeking a way to get back on track, he began experimenting with more functional training, which, while not necessarily CrossFit, involved exercises that focused on overall body functionality.
Initially, Sheamus started the channel as a personal project to improve his own fitness outside of his WWE obligations. However, it quickly grew into something bigger, helping not just him but also inspiring his viewers. Sheamus is particularly proud of the impact the channel has had, sharing how many fans have reached out to him, expressing how his videos have motivated them to start their own fitness journeys. “The best part is seeing the impact it’s had on people, helping them get into a workout routine for the first time,” he said.
A key factor in the channel’s success has been the WWE superstars who’ve appeared on it. Despite their demanding schedules, many wrestlers have graciously joined Sheamus to participate in the workouts. “You’re on the loop — Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, whatever. They’d have a Saturday morning off to get dinner, go to the gym, and I’m dragging them into a Celtic Warrior Workout,” Sheamus explained. The wrestlers’ willingness to donate their time to the project has been a significant contributor to the channel’s growth. “They gave their time graciously,” he added, offering his gratitude to every WWE talent who’s appeared on the channel.
Sheamus’ Celtic Warrior Workouts has now not only become a personal passion but also a platform for motivating others to embrace fitness. The journey from a small project to a million-subscriber milestone underscores Sheamus’ dedication and his ability to connect with a wide audience.
