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.
