Who's the Hottest Male Trainer in NYC? Round One

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Sixteen contestants later, we're finally ready to begin voting for Racked's Hottest Trainer 2015! Here's how it'll work this year: We're separating our contestants by gender, beginning with the first four dudes, and tomorrow, we'll open up a separate poll for the first four women. Then on Monday, the second four men will square off, and on Tuesday, the second four women. On Wednesday, we'll open the polls for the final two men, and Thursday, the final two women. Your final day to vote for either the remaining man or the remaining woman will be Friday, August 28th, and by Saturday, we'll have declared a winner! (To make it easier to understand, we've created a handy graphic located at the end of the gallery.)

In case you forgot, our first four male contestants are Seth Maynard of Swerve Fitness, Ashley Derosena from Concrete Fitness, Jason Bayus of Yogaworks, and Shayne Cureton from Tone House.

Scroll through the gallery above to refresh your memory on each trainer, or read their bios and interviews. The poll will close 24 hours after it's published, so you only have until 10am Friday to vote for your favorite!
