Insider Scoop: Celebrity Trainer Tobias Oyeyinka

A study by MyProtein found that the top personal trainers earn above $10,000, with some even above $50,000 for a single sponsored social media post. Australia’s influential personal trainers have had to adapt and overcome to become leaders in their field. Besides obstacles presented by the pandemic, the personal trainer industry is competitive, and even more so, the celebrity personal trainer industry. To be successful, these personal trainers need to train clients, possibly run gyms, run their own businesses and partner with brands, all while building a strong social media presence. 

This is exactly what celebrity trainer, Tobias Oyeyinka, has done. Tobias runs a fitness business, as well as a fitness app, all while bringing something unique and luxurious to the personal trainer industry.

The fitness app is user-friendly and offers over 2,000 different exercises. The app also is customizable where it allows users to create their own workout routine, and it allows users to request a customized fitness program, suited to their body type and goals, curated by Tobias.

The Celebrity Program

The Celebrity program is a fully customised program which includes training program and a meal plan – fit for a celebrity in Australia. The client will be joined by a personal trainer in the location of their choice, they will be offered a personalised meal plan, they will have cooked meals and snacks delivered to their specific location, and they will have access to a massage therapist for recovery.

Tobias says the program caters for individuals, CEOs, executives, celebrities, and anyone with a busy lifestyle. Although high profile names do use the program, Tobias says, “I treat everybody equally, I believe we’re all human and I believe we should all be treated with the ultimate respect”.
