Emmanuel Chikaviro

Early Life

Emmanuel Chikaviro (born, 7 February 1992) is a Zimbabwean amateur bodybuilder, social influencer and fitness enthusiast. He is the founder and CEO of an online based exercise and lifestyle platform, which aids the development of aspiring athletes and beginners alike. He grew up in Royston, Hertfordshire; to then spend a large fraction of his life moving around the United Kingdom. It was this constant resettling that led to the adoption of his adaptive character.

Education

Chikaviro developed an interest in anatomy at a young age and pursued this interest at West Suffolk College where he studied an Extended Diploma in Sports & Exercise Science’. He completed this course and went on to University Campus Suffolk to then complete a BSc in ‘Sports Coaching & Development’; graduating on the 26th September 2015. Eager to further his knowledge and vocational achievements, Chikaviro turned his focus to the post-graduate study of Anatomy & Physiology.

Brand Influences

Chikaviro, having pooled knowledge, from a foundation accumulated over years of study, became affluential throughout social media, notably via Instragram. Ultimately collaborating with multiple major brands and being recognised as an online brand influencer.

At present, he is working with ‘Myprotein’, the largest fitness brand in the United Kingdom, which supplies both fitness apparel and supplements. Additionally, Chikaviro is an ambassador for ‘Physiq Apparel’ with aspirations of working with other large brands.

To date Chikaviro has been approached by brands such as ‘JKA’ & ‘Empire Attire’, to represent their clothing lines. Due to the very particular nature of his interests, Chikaviro decided to pay explicit attention to growth in the fitness sector and steer away from fashion. Arguably, delving into the world of fashion would have secured further growth of his social status.

Social Media

Chikaviro began his fitness journey in 2013 as a 21-year-old college student with basic knowledge of weightlifting and nutrition.Since then, following completion of his diploma, his focus grew to be more precise and incorporated fundamental principles that saw his physical and mental capacity develop.

Chikaviro’s content can be argued as being authentic to the point of being distinctly ordinary, but this ordinary and relatable approach is part of what contributed to his growth on social media.

Competitive Career

Chikaviro made his debut to the stage at the 2018 Body Power Expo, held at the NEC in Birmingham. He placed 2nd in his first ever show as a natural athlete and earned a place at the finals for ‘Men’s Physique Beginners’ in the UKUP (United Kingdom Ultimate Physiques) Federation; founded in 2015.

Religious and philosophical beliefs

As a young man, Chikaviro was a religious devotee. Chikaviro’s frequent reference to self-love and positive mental attitude reflected his own personal beliefs which later became an extension of his message to reach audiences who were largely those seeking to improve their mental wellness and physical health alike. He never joined a church although in his younger years frequently attended with his family.

Chikaviro was deeply familiar with the teachings of the Bible which offered a set of principles that can be seen as motivating his character. He was private about his beliefs and always respected the beliefs of others, despite their background or following.

Further Ventures

Following his Instagram success, Chikaviro started the company Team Just Fit to sell exercise and workout plans. The plans are all customer specific, though, independently regarded as affordable but of high quality. Team Just Fit has yet to grow as exceptionally as Chikaviro’s personal platform, however, has seen its clientele grow exceptionally since coming into being in 2018.
