I’ve just come across nicoledaniellefitness_ while looking for some new inspiration to get moving while stuck indoors and at first glance her page is like a breath of fresh air after following shiv for so long. She’s got live workouts on there in her own apartment, breakdowns of work outs and she did a giveaway of a month’s free coaching when she reached 10K.
She’s got 13K now and it got me thinking does SOH think because she’s grown to 150 odd that she doesn’t need to put in the work anymore?
But then I think about fitness people like Lilly Sabri and Lisa Fiit who have massively grown their followings and not only are they growing their own empires (with apps, products, recipes and supplements etc) but they continue to provide worthwhile free and informative content. Lilly Sabri has hours and hours of content on her YouTube, I’m not a fan of her clickbait thumbnails and some of her workouts being done in skimpy bikinis but I guess she plays to the algorithm and her workouts are effective and the form is on point. She talks about filling your body with good nutritious food and not denying yourself treats and rest. Oh and most of all she practices what she preaches - and her body and mindset reflect that.
I appreciate that all of that takes a team, investment, equipment and business acumen but they all had to start somewhere.
It baffles me because with a little bit of thinking and brainstorming Shiv could have really made use of the pandemic and created inspiring fitness content as she brazenly hopped around the globe. She could have unpskilled her editing for recorded workouts in beautiful locations around Bali. She could have invested in basic home fitness equipment to show people that you can still effectively workout at home. She could have made videos about correct form and taught herself in the process. And maybe then she would have more outside work opportunities that she so desperately needs to be in Europe for - Like I saw that Nicole Danielle is teaching a skipping workshop at a fitness event in September.
I think everything Shiv posts on IG is for herself and herself only. Sped up yoga, the exercises of her workout written down but only a snippet of it in action. It’s not for the benefit of people following her for fitness reasons or to provide any worthwhile content.
The more the word lazy gets used the more I think it’s true. I’ve just left the school I work at for many reasons but one being they are still using worksheets and content that they created years ago.... it’s like Shiv thinks what she created years ago will see her through.
It’s also been mentioned that for all her love of learning and challenging herself we never see her educate herself on fitness which is her brand after all.
Or is her brand now living differently (read the same but in different countries) I’m not really sure what the point of this post is
but ooft I feel a bit lighter.
To all of this. I question the 154k followers that never change, but yet grid posts seem to only range in 1k-5k likes reaction for a post or 10k likes for the bikini pic from 4 years ago. Yet she shared the "eyes on her story post" her stories views are 50k +. I agree alot of people myself included are there from day 1 so she thinks she doesn't need to put the effort in anymore. I'm no mathlete but it's clear to see those engagements don't add up when only 5% of your followers are liking her content. To finalise, is the sum of Trolls > followers??
i don't care how long it is, make it work!
She’s so patronising to her followers. Perhaps she has the attention span of a goldfish and is lacking the depth of intelligence to identify narrative themes and socio-political commentary in books, but why does she assume everyone else is equally obtuse?
I've been waiting to see if she would address it but Siobhan hasn't mentioned the lockdown in her 'home' Bali! Indonesia seems to be overwhelmed by another wave, but yet her coffee morning thoughts are about Socks or Eggs or Tinder 
It just shows how selfish she is and how Bali really is just part of her insta life, surely you'd be concerned for the people who provided your many takeaway meals, the housekeeper, your friends neighbours etc. Is it not human nature to surely bond with the locals in a country you say is your home but yet you can't show empathy or concern when they are now facing more distress and ruin due to the pandemic! I don't think I'll ever get my head around the selfishness of this one
