About
Chloe Ting is an Australian fitness creator who turned home workouts into a global movement. Born on 9 April 1986 in Brunei and now based in New York, she runs YouTube’s biggest fitness channel, counting about 25.8M subscribers and more than 3.3 billion views as of July 2025.
Her free programs—especially the viral “Two Week Shred Challenge”—show that short, equipment‑light routines can deliver impressive results. During lockdown in 2020, millions followed her daily schedules and shared progress clips on TikTok, pushing her channel to the top of YouTube’s trending lists that year.
Ting’s mission is simple: make fitness accessible. She backs that up with an ad‑free website packed with schedules, a mobile app called Core by Chloe Ting, and an affordable line of resistance bands, mats, and dumbbells stocked in over 3,000 Walmart stores since 2022.
Before Fame
Growing up in a Bruneian‑Chinese household, Chloe was a self‑confessed book‑lover who moved to Melbourne at 16 for university. She earned both a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Philosophy from Monash University, specialising in statistics and finance.
Her first career was far from burpees: she worked as an actuarial analyst and even presented a finance paper at an academic conference. In 2011, craving creativity, she opened a YouTube channel on the side. Early uploads covered travel and fashion, but by 2017, she pivoted fully to fitness after friends kept asking for her exercise tips. The breakout video, “Get Abs in Two Weeks,” dropped in August 2019 and now sits above 500 million views.
Trivia
- Diamond Play Button: YouTube awarded her the diamond plaque in 2020, rare in the health niche.
- Award shelf: Winner, 2020 Streamy for Health & Wellness; finalist at both the Shorty and AACTA Awards the same year.
- Viral numbers: At the pandemic’s peak, TikTok clips using #ChloeTingChallenge clocked hundreds of millions of views; celebrities such as Addison Rae posted their own attempts, further skyrocketing interest.
- Science-first approach: She is NASM-certified and regularly sprinkles exercise-physiology tidbits into videos so newcomers can grasp the “why” behind each plank and lunge.
- Health journey: Ting has been candid about fighting small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and reminds her followers to match workouts with gut-friendly nutrition.
- App launch: The Core app (iOS and Android) launched in early 2024, featuring offline downloads, calendar reminders, and progress tracking—still free at its bare bones level.
Family Life
While Chloe keeps relatives out of the spotlight, occasional social posts reveal a close bond with her Bruneian‑Chinese parents and two brothers—she once called her dad “the kindest heart” in a Father’s Day tribute.
From 2016 to 2020, she produced content alongside then‑partner Adrian, who handled camera work; the two split amicably in early 2020 but remain friendly collaborators behind select projects.
Career demands have turned her into something of a nomad: Melbourne (student years), Singapore (2021‑2023), and now New York, where she films most workout series in a loft studio that doubles as her apartment.
