Why film-making if you spent 6 years becoming an engineer? South Africa needs more engineers, but South Africa (and I would argue the world!) needs more film-makers who are willing to work really, really hard to master their craft (engineering cum laude level hard), crossing cultural boundaries in search of unique, unifying stories, and insist on making films that are not only financially viable but meaningful. Meaningful in the truest sense of the word: It takes an honest look at suffering, acknowledging the despair, and takes a deeper look to portray the hope and the beauty to be found amidst the chaos. (Film-makers who are master artists and master technicians.) I'm also passionate about helping people achieve their full potential, which is why I make YouTube videos about healthy habits, building character, and becoming a Renaissance person. After all, I am an engineer — I like to optimize things.

Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues are a comedy duo from Cape Town, South Africa. Since 2011, they've brought their uniquely awkward, piquant style of humour online, along with a wide variety of comedy videos - from original animated shorts, music videos, parodies and social satire. In their spare time, they enjoy writing channel biographies and receiving unsolicited phone calls from telemarketers. They have also stolen your car's hubcaps whilst you were reading this.

How We Collect Data of Gym YouTube influencers in South Africa

We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of South Africa-based YouTube influencers within the gym niche by focusing on the following key metrics:

  • Relevance to gym: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the gym niche.

  • Location Verification: Our system checks for the inclusion of city or country names in profiles, and where necessary, we analyze flags, localized posts and profile bio data to confirm the influencer's location in South Africa.

  • Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are South Africa-based and publish gym-related content. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.

  • Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.

  • Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes South Africa-based gym influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.

By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant gym influencers located in South Africa, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.

How Our Algorithm Identifies Gym YouTube Influencers in South Africa

Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant gym YouTube influencers in South Africa.

Identifying Influencer Location in South Africa:

  • Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from South Africa, or any other reference to South Africa, we automatically mark the profile as South Africa-based.

  • Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to South Africa, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within South Africa, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to South Africa.

  • Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates South Africa or any related symbols suggesting origin from South Africa.

  • Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from South Africa, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within South Africa.

Identifying gym relevance:

  • Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific gym-related terms, such as 'gym' or any other industry terms in an influencers profile (including their name, bio, and posts).

  • Expanding with Synonyms and Variations: Our algorithm recognizes related terms within the industry and other gym specializations. We also account for variations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the influencer's expertise.

  • Multilingual Detection: To ensure a global reach, we use an Al-based multilingual sentence transformer to detect influencers in different languages, so we don't miss out on valuable gym voices around the world.

  • Assigning Relevance Scores: Each influencer profile is assigned a score based on their relevance to the gym category. The higher the score, the more aligned their profile with your campaign needs.

  • Prioritizing Top Influencers: In our recommendations we prioritize the influencers with the highest relevance scores. This helps us to ensure that the profiles suggested are the best fit for your marketing strategy.

How We Rank Gym YouTube Influencers in South Africa

During the location identification process, we assign a score to each YouTube influencer profile that reflects its relevance to gym and South Africa.

Then we use these scores to rank the profiles in our listings. Influencers with higher relevance scores in both categories - gym and their connection to South Africa - are ranked higher in the results.

As a result, when you search for gym YouTube influencers in South Africa in our database, the most relevant profiles appear first. This makes it easier for you to find the best match for your project.

How Often Our Listing of Gym YouTube Influencers in South Africa is Updated

We update our database monthly to ensure you have access to the most current and relevant gym YouTube influencers in South Africa. The profiles listed reflect the latest data as of April 2025.

Our automated system continuously monitors YouTube, tracking changes in follower count, engagement levels, and content activity from gym influencers in South Africa. This ensures that our database remains accurate and relevant and helps you find the best gym YouTube influencers in South Africa for your campaigns at any given time.
