# Credential named in the hook over a routine

A fitness format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/fitness/credential-named-in-the-hook-over-a-routine

State who you are or who you've trained, such as 'D1 athlete', 'pro volleyball' or 'Victoria's Secret models', before showing the routine. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 20x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Voiceover, Video, Talking head.

## Why it works

The credential justifies saving the routine. Pilates.by.cat, tayroduncut_, davidkisiel and kratosphysio all did it.

## How to make it

1. Name a specific credential or client group in the hook
2. Say the exact result the routine gives
3. Show the routine with sets and reps
4. Add proof if you have it

## Hook formula

I've trained [famous group]. This is how we [result].

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
