What is Mike Thurston’s net worth?

Mike Thurston has a net worth of $6 million. Thurston began weightlifting at the age of 18 and left his hometown of Leeds the same year to pursue a degree in Economics and Business Management in Newcastle.

Mike, born in 1990, created the THRST app, which provides users with specialized workout programs and dietary regimens to help them get in shape.

He also has a successful YouTube channel where he shares and talks about fitness, health, and gym.

This came to his advantage when asked to be a judge at the 30 Day Bulk Challenge.

Mike embraced an unhealthy lifestyle during his time at university and then as a club promoter in Spain.

In 2012, Thurston decided to start a career in fitness.

On his YouTube channel, he has recorded his transformation from party animal to fitness guru.

“My objective is to educate, encourage, and assist viewers to optimize their body composition while making the process as pleasant and sustainable as possible,” Mike says on his YouTube channel.

Mike has resided in Dubai and Ibiza, where he can be seen working out on the beach.

Childhood

Mike grew up in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, and has always been interested in fitness.

He started going to the gym when he was 18 years old (in 2007), and he now has over 10 years of gym and muscle training expertise.

Thurston revealed his transformation experience from the age of eight to the age of 26 in a YouTube video titled – My 8-year Transformation, which was released on January 11, 2017.

He went to Leeds Grammar School in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (from 2000 to 2008).

He then went on to complete his studies at the University of Newcastle. This fitness professional has a BA (Bachelor of Arts) in Economics and Business Management (from 2008 to 2011).

Wife/Girlfriend

Mike Thurston has never been seen with a girlfriend and is certainly not married. None of his social media posts offer insight into his love life, and he has never made any information public if there was a girlfriend.

Career

Mike worked part-time for Brownridge Transport (from June 2010 to September 2010).

He worked in the warehouse and was in charge of product handling and rework.

He’s even done several photo shoots and worked in clubs, throwing parties and making sure everyone had a wonderful time (this was when he was in 3rd year of college).

Thurston worked as a manager for Hollister Co. after graduation and lasted for more than a year (Jan 2012 to Mar 2013).

He recognized after a while that this was not the work for him because he was weary and lacking energy, so he quit Hollister.

After quitting Hollister Co., this online star co-founded Aurora Athletic (a health and fitness firm) with his business partner Kyle in April 2013. He subsequently joined Instagram, where he grew in fame as people liked his work and postings.

THRST

Michael also offers three packages: $9.99 per month, $24.99 per quarter, and $79.99 per year.

Furthermore, he offers his customers/trainees customized exercise programs (35+), an exclusive video collection, and tailored dietary plans (200+ prepared meals).

On April 18, 2016, he released his debut video on his self-named YouTube channel, titled – Learn how to activate your lats and build a larger back, which has 168+ K views. Full biceps and triceps exercise for larger arms is his most popular video, with over 8 million views and 80 thousand likes.

It was posted on the site on January 18, 2017, while another titled “5 Chest Exercises You Should Do” garnered millions of views and loads of likes on January 24, 2017.
