At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, an Australian YouTuber specialising in women's fitness, Chloe Ting, gained a significant audience because of her workout routines on her website and YouTube account. The workout program she created promises her audiences to lose fat in specific areas of the body parts—also known as spot training—in a short period. Some of Ting's video titles are "Get Abs in Two Weeks | Abs Workout Challenge," "Tiny Waist & Round Butt Workout | At Home Hourglass Challenge," and "Hips Dips Workout | 10 Min Side Booty Exercises At Home Hourglass Challenge", these videos could play a role in promoting a negative body image for women. Owing to the misrepresentation of body image in the media industry, women of all ages are often exposed to quite a number of body standards or body images, stating that they have to look in a particular shape to be considered "beautiful" by society. To test the hypothesis that Chloe Ting's videos have a role in promoting negative body image, qualitative research, content analysis, and sentiment analysis will be conducted on three of the selected videos on Chloe Ting's YouTube channel. The gathered data will be analysed by relating it to the first three stages of sociocultural models. Based on the selected comments, there are no indications that Chloe Ting is disseminating unfavourable ideas that women should have a particular body type. Additionally, Chloe Ting's audience does not appear to have any negative emotions regarding the content.
