David Dobrik is making great strides in achieving his fitness goals for 2025.

The popular YouTuber recently posted a transformation on Instagram, featuring before and after pictures with the caption “new year, new me.”

“I’m incredibly thankful for everyone in my life who encouraged me to become a better version of myself this year,” he shared.

In a vlog released on the same day, Dobrik revealed that his best friend, Ilya Fedorovich, tried to help him get in shape on two previous occasions, but it was this third attempt that finally worked.

This time, Dobrik agreed to make a commitment in exchange for Fedorovich accompanying him on a trip around the world to see the Seven Wonders.

The transformation began after their global adventure, with Dobrik later showcasing his new physique to friends such as Josh Peck and Olivia Jade.

He then surprised the staff at his pizza restaurant, Doughbrik’s, with Teslas as a gesture of appreciation for their hard work while he was traveling.

At the end of his vlog, Dobrik mentioned a bet he made with MrBeast. If he didn’t get “jacked,” he would have to buy 20,000 of MrBeast’s chocolate bars; but if he succeeded, MrBeast would owe Fedorovich a car. Dobrik showcased a blue sports car featuring MrBeast’s candy bar logo on the side.

On his Instagram, Dobrik gave credit to Fedorovich for his achievements.

“I owe everything to my friends and especially to Ilya, who has genuinely transformed my life,” he expressed. “I love you man. I don’t feel like pudding anymore!”
