I find that my rate of exercise is much higher when watching action movies/shows than when watching sitcoms/dramas. So I save my NCIS: LA for the gym, and watch The Americans while cleaning the kitchen.
I also find that I row the fastest during commercials, so Netflix/Amazon Prime shows are actually worse for me when working out.
If you are into lifting, anything from All Things Gym or Hook Grip. They focus on weightlifting, but it's fun to watch top athletes do their thing. You can also learn from their warm-up routine and assistance exercise.

OT: I know you said you aren't a huge Dorian fan, but this Podcast [0] from Joe Regan is really awesome. He managed to be the first beast of his kind, and to get back in a normal shape to have an (almost) normal life ahead. He knew the price and managed it well, in a sort of Cutler way.
I'm really interested in this topic like others HN-er, seeing the variety of content, would be interested to understand why it's flagged: gym is a stress-reliever and others huge health benefits.

And a non Kai classic: "There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWUcHKAj_tc
Of course there is always watching Arnold pose to get you motivated.
I really like this topic.

For me, it depends on the day: Ronnie squat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVVdlwf1iyM)
Eddie Hall Deadlift (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4AQlamvFzs)
If lacking the motivation to DO usually Kay Greene works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jVQnoQ1S6U
Something more fitness-y , like Steve cook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNsc5GIUPIY
And if I want something more different, I check the last video from NickVisionMotivation, awesome videos!
(Go Big Ramy or Nathan for Mr.O for anyone following the scene!)
