  • How to increase views as a fitness influencer?

    Posted by Fickle_Ambassador835 on February 28, 2026 at 7:45 am

    ill keep it short, ive been using social media for 2 years to post and motivate myself to follow a self improvement journey while training calisthenics.

    ive reached day 830+ of streak and its all documented in my tiktok page. I think it has potential and thats why ive been trying to make calisthenics content and ive been trying to build a community to start coaching and helping people. But of course, it isnt going well and i havent got a video over 1.5k views. Yes, ik im not doing it right, but i see potential in my content, does anyone have any suggestions as how i could make this documented journey go a little viral and make people invested in my content? How should i structure my videos?

    Ive got no strategy, and im just about to give up honestly, thats why im asking here. Thanks

    Hey you’ve been working hard and that’s great. It’s the first step and definitely has potential for more. Mind if I dm you?

    830 day streak is insane, respect for that. but consistency alone doesn’t grow an account, it just keeps it alive.

    the hard truth with fitness content on tiktok right now is that transformation/journey content doesn’t get pushed like it used to. the algorithm wants entertainment first, education second. pure “day 830 of calisthenics” doesn’t give someone a reason to share it.

    what worked for people i’ve seen blow up in fitness: take your knowledge and make it about the viewer, not about you. “3 calisthenics moves most people do wrong” will outperform “day 831 of my journey” every time because one is useful to a stranger and the other isn’t.

    you can still document the journey but make it the background, not the main content. hook them with something useful, keep them with your personality.

    830 days is genuinely wild consistency but the streak alone doesnt give a stranger a reason to stop scrolling. Try leading with something surprising you learned about calisthenics like a common mistake or a counterintuitive tip, then use your 830 days of experience as the credibility. People share useful things not documented journeys. The documentation works better as a backdrop to actual teaching content.

    It isn’t always about the video, we have zero to work with here.

    I usually see two types of fitness tiktoker
    – here’s me doing a workout
    – here’s me providing value

    Provide value, answer questions, make people engage.

    I know this because I work within a dozen small influencers but we’ve taken people from 10’s to 1000’s in views and income.

    Use onscreen links, link to your products, asks people questions, put lots of text on your story, these are all engagements moments.

    The two tips I always give fitness influencers:
    – ask “are you trying to: lose weight, build muscle”. Everyone following fitness online is trying to do one of these. You’ll get engagement which improves views but you’ve also then got direct people to message – however, have you got anything to sell???

    Second, and this works for everyone:
    – lets your stories go dark (don’t post for 24 hours) then post a story that is lots of text so people have to hold to read it, give a hook at the start that makes them want to finish, they’ll hold, views will go up – follow it with a sales CTA.

    > post long text
    > views go up
    > news sales post seen by more people because the algorithm pushes your stuff more

    I work without a few fitness influencers, happy for a DM

    830 days is insane consistency so discipline clearly isn’t the problem, positioning is.
    Right now your content sounds centered around your streak. 

    Strangers don’t stop for effort, they stop for relevance try leading with value like 3 mistakes ruining your pull-ups or why most people quit calisthenics in 30 days then use your 830 days as credibility.

    Document the journey, but package it around the viewer’s problem.

    You’ve got the hardest part already i.e consistency. What you’re missing is packaging and storytelling.

    Right now it sounds like you’re *documenting*, but not *hooking*. Instead of just posting workouts, structure each video like this: start with a strong hook, show a quick transformation or progress clip, then 1 clear value, and end with a reason to follow.

    Also, don’t post random clips, rather build mini-series (e.g. “Road to One Arm Pull-up” or “Fix your first push-up in 30 days”). People follow journeys, not isolated videos.

    Your content has potential, but it needs a reason for viewers to *care in 3 seconds*. Focus on that, and views will start moving. All the best !!!

    830 days is crazy man. the issue isnt consistency its that nobody knows who you are yet. fitness content is insanely saturated so just showing workouts wont cut it anymore… you need to let people see your personality. the creators that blow up are the ones where you feel like you know them personally. film your daily life around the training not just the sets and reps
