Key Insight

Micro-influencers (5K–20K followers) in the fitness niche delivered better ROI than macro influencers. Their smaller, dedicated audiences trust supplement recommendations more deeply, leading to stronger conversion potential. Authentic product usage — real shakes, real workouts — consistently outperformed promotional content.
