Here are some excellent Tik Tok influencers for you to follow so that you can up your fitness game! These influencers are based in Singapore and most probably have similar access to food and facilities as the rest of us, and hence are excellent people to look to for fitness advice and tips.
The Buffessor
Akbar Ali Seth, better known by his online persona The Buffessor, is a fitness coach who often answers fitness related questions on Tik Tok through a snappy 30 second video so his viewers get their answers as clearly and as straightforward as possible.
His name The Buffessor, a portmanteau of the words “buff” and “professor”, lives up to his name as he consistently helps his audience better understand fitness and diets to achieve their fitness goals more effectively and efficiently.

Fuad Kim
Like The Buffessor, Fuad Kim posts fitness and diet related content to help his audience achieve their fitness goals healthily and effectively.
However, what sets Fuad apart from many fitness influencers is that he is a Muslim influencer who like many other Muslims, have to fast this Ramadan season. His content also helps other Muslim fitness enthusiasts with their diets and lifestyles this season so they do not lose too much progress at the gym, which is extremely helpful for those who have to fast and want to maintain their progress.
He also debunks many fitness myths and misconceptions many people have which could result in unsafe fitness routines, and Fuad comes in as an exceptionally helpful and educational source of learning for these people.
