FAQ
How much do Fitness Shorts pay per 1,000 views?

Why is fitness RPM above average?
Supplement and apparel brands have high LTV and aggressive YouTube ad budgets. Fitness viewers are also high-intent, which pushes CPMs up further.
Why is my real revenue different from this estimate?
Three reasons cover 95% of the gap: country mix (US/UK/AU pay 5–20× Tier-3), Shorts share of total views (pool RPM is 10–40× lower than long-form), and video length (under 8 minutes blocks mid-rolls and halves RPM).
