Meet the highest earning celeb personal trainers on Instagram
When they’re not helping their famous clients keep in shape, celebrity personal trainers could be earning tens of thousands of pounds on Instagram, according to research from Myprotein.
The research looks at the most popular celebrity personal trainers on Instagram, before calculating how much they could earn sharing sponsored posts.
With over 1.1 million followers, Melissa Alcantara, Kim Kardashian’s trainer, takes the top spot. Based on her follower count, Melissa could earn more than £4,800 for a single post on Instagram. Sharing one sponsored post per month could earn her £57,600 each year, but if she upped that to once a week, she’d rake in a whopping £249,600!
And it’s not just Kim’s trainer who could be raking it in on the app, Khloe and Kourtney’s trainers, Gunnar Peterson and Don Brooks also have the potential for some impressive paydays, proving the earning power of the Kardashian name.
