Introduction-
Caroline Girvan was born in 1984 and hails from Northern Ireland.

She studied accountancy at university and worked as an admin for her husband.

Her inspiration-
After Caroline became a mother, she realised that there was an information overload in fitness.
And thanks to this, her family members and friends were following a variety of diets, training and even after working hard and spending much time and money, they weren’t succeeding.
Most of them were focusing on the wrong things and this moved Caroline and inspired her to become a personal trainer.
Entering YouTube-
Caroline wasn’t able to personally train her clients during the COVID-19 lockdown.
So, she recorded a couple of simple home workouts with her iPhone teaching how to train with a pair of dumbbells and body weight and shared them with her clients on WhatsApp.
One woman requested Caroline to upload her workouts onto YouTube, so that she could watch them on her TV.
So, on 5 April 2020, she published her first video on her eponymous YouTube channel titled ‘AT HOME CORE 6 MINUTE ABS WORKOUT | Follow Along’.
Even though she originally started her YouTube channel on 26 October 2015, she started working on it only from April 2020.
As people started appreciating Caroline’s videos, she began to continuously work on her channel.
Her workouts are very popular on YouTube and are viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.
