Whatever you come to TikTok for, you are only ever one swipe away from starting something new - whether that's new recipes becoming family favourites to DIY hacks inspiring whole room renovations.
To celebrate this, we've launched our brand new campaign: it starts on TikTok, featuring creators and businesses across the UK who have been sharing their unique experience with the TikTok community.
Throughout January, we'll be spotlighting some of these amazing creators that are inspiring their followers to explore new and exciting hobbies. So, to kick things off for 2024, we're speaking to one of our favourite personal trainers on TikTok, @Javeno7.
Javeno is the owner of the award winning J7 Health Centre in Manchester and is on a mission to inspire and empower others through fitness. He's become a champion in his community, known for providing life-changing personal training for the people with disabilities, those in recovery or living with conditions like dementia.
Javeno has amassed over 1.2 million followers on TikTok, with videos showing the amazing progress that his clients make, and inspiring others to push past their own limits.
We caught up on all things TikTok, including his journey so far, inspiring others, and his favourite content.
Our campaign it starts on TikTok is all about the different hobbies and activities you can discover on TikTok. If you could inspire someone to start something new this year, what would it be?
YES! New rooms, new places and new music! These are three life influencing things I always suggest to people. Try being in a new room or new place with new personalities and energy’s to absorb. Being in a new room forces a new reaction which will most definitely be a positive one for your personality.
Why did you decide to start sharing your personal training and recovery content on TikTok?
Because the world needed it! Life for many people is heartache, pain, negativity and misery - I was desperate to change that...
What other creators do you follow on TikTok?
I actually don’t follow anyone. I believe embracing your creativity is vital. Being unique and original is vital for me so I tend not to watch anybody. I prefer being brave enough to create new, never been before done content.
What is your goal on TikTok?
To continue to inspiring the world, and make people smile like cartoon characters, laugh and enjoy every single day.
What is your favourite TikTok you have made to date and why?
Me and Sophia, a 12-year-old leukaemia survivor, doing a tug of war in her walker. Sophia won and got to hit James (nickname badger) 50 times with a swimming noodle!
Finally, what else is on your For You feed?!
My feed is full of love and laughter. PTs from around the world, live music performances that I love, and comedy.
