Who is Caroline Girvan?
Caroline Girvan is an Irish fitness influencer who is active on YouTube, Instagram and other social platforms. She was born on 22nd June 1984 in Northern Ireland. She is known for posting fitness-related content and nutritional advice on her social media.
Background of Caroline Girvan
Caroline was born and grew up in Northern Ireland alongside her parents. Once she finished her studies, she got married and, after some time, became a happy mother of two little children. She has always been active and managed to maintain her beautiful figure even after giving birth. Since her friend and family members often asked her about her diet and workout plan, she realized something. There was just too much information out there, often wrong or harmful. Her friends tried to lose some weight or gain muscle and were usually unsuccessful. From talking to them, Caroline found out that people were willing to try any possible diet plan just to lose weight and were disappointed when it didn’t work.
Caroline decided to do her own research and discovered that most of those internet hacks on losing weight were flawed. They either suggested counting every single calorie, not eating enough food or overtraining. People would spend an excessive amount of time and money just to lose weight, and Caroline felt bad from all of those sad stories. Caroline got certified as a personal trainer and nutrition coach a long time ago and was tutoring her clients. Once the Covid-19 pandemic started, she realized that she could no longer train people in the gym, so she decided to film some of her home workouts. Then she sent these videos to her friends to inspire them, and they encouraged her to post those videos online.
Caroline Girvan on YouTube
Because she wanted to help as many people as she could, Caroline started to post videos on her self-titled YouTube channel in 2020. Caroline divided her YouTube channel into panned workout series based on one’s fitness level. The first one is called Beginner EPIC Series, which includes two warm-up videos and five 30-minute-long workouts. Once you finish the beginner program, your next plan will be the EPIC I Program, which will get a little more intense. Caroline created three stages of her EPIC program, starting with the first and ending with the third. She tries to mostly workout only with body weight or little equipment, so it would be accessible for most people. Her favourite equipment is dumbbells, which allow her to train every muscle group. The EPIC series end with a ten-week program which includes 50 individual workout plans, which are usually 45 minutes long.
Since she heard a lot of sad fitness stories, Caroline tried to put up her plans in a way that would be enjoyable. She doesn’t focus on the outcome but on the journey. In her opinion, most people quit fitness early because they overtrain and feel guilty for a slice of cake at the same time. This approach isn’t sustainable in most cases, which only discourages people from exercising. Caroline tries to create the most enjoyable journey, so the physical benefits would be only a positive by-product. Her most popular video is 5 Min Full Body Warm-Up with Caroline Girvan, with over 9,9 million views. With her certifications and 10-year experience, Caroline continues to provide her audience with enjoyable but challenging workouts.
Is Caroline Girvan’s community toxic?
Since her workout videos reached millions of people, Caroline built a huge community around her. And even though it would usually be a good thing, some individuals started to give her a bad name. Caroline’s workout plans got a lot of attention, and naturally, some other creators decided to watch them and react to them. Some people slightly commented on Caroline’s form in some particular exercises, and it made her fans mad. Obviously, we’re not talking about everyone, but some of Caroline’s fans became quite toxic. Once someone had the nerve to correct their favourite content creator, they started to comment toxic things and comment on the person’s body. Because of these individuals, Caroline’s community is sometimes seen as toxic.
How much does Caroline Girvan earn? Net Worth
Caroline’s estimated net worth is close to 4 million USD. Most of her income comes from her job as a personal trainer. She also models for a few fitness companies, which adds to her income. Since she has millions of views on her YouTube channel, she earns quite a lot from there as well.
