London & Essex Personal trainer, Michael Baah, is enjoying some unexpected fame after sharing a video of Lockdown home workout using just his backpack and a broomstick on the social media site TikTok.
Michael told us that he was shocked by the response.
“It happened pretty quickly. I actually filmed this workout for a client that I trained online as she couldn’t get access to any equipment during lockdown and was running out of motivation. I posted it on Friday afternoon and within a few hours it already had 30,000 views. I checked an hour later, and it was at 50,000 and trending in Germany. I couldn’t keep up with the influx of messages. They were not all messages from people who wanted personal training, a lot of people were just inspired, and thought it’s cool.”
There were so many people recreating Michael’s workout on all platforms and tagging him in their stories. He had truly got social media moving!
Michael Baah, a former athlete who boxed before partially tearing his shoulder ligament, now works as a personal trainer to the stars.
He has certainly succeeded in helping the nation get creative and more active in their homes during lockdown. If you glance at his Instagram profile, this is not the only video he has made that has gone crazy on socials!
He says, “My job allows me to show off my creative side and it really does fill me with happiness when I see people tagging, sharing and recreating my workouts.”
Michael says that he actually needs to put more videos on TikTok! The popularity of his video has prompted more people to reach out to him.
He further shared that he will continue to post more cool things for followers to try in the future.
