Cooking, marriage and a new home: Manu Cit reveals upcoming plans to CNN

In an interview with CNN , Manu Cit said she will not stop recording videos for social media and revealed her plans in her personal life: cooking classes, marriage and moving house.

"I really want to get married. I really want to move out of my house. I really want to expand Guday further, broaden the portfolio. I want, if possible, to enter new businesses."

Manu Cit's first video online was a viral TikTok dance. Posted in April 2020, still during the pandemic, the video currently has 16,000 views. From then on, Manu began posting frequently. Her first million came in 2022, with the video "belly care routine," which received 1.2 million views.

Manu Cit saw the fitness world as an opportunity for growth . She built an online community and now has over three million followers on social media.

After establishing herself with the public, the 21-year-old began her entrepreneurial journey and estimates a revenue of R$100 million by 2025 from multiple businesses. Before becoming an entrepreneur, she studied medicine for two years but dropped out.

"I'm going to college, but it won't have anything to do with who I'm going to be. I want to study gastronomy. I want to be part of at least the first Le Cordon block. Since it's a one-year course, three days a week, I see it as something very tangible in my routine," he reveals.

New gyms

An influencer and entrepreneur, one of Manu Cit's businesses is a gym brand in Rio de Janeiro. The Botafogo location opened in late 2024 and has over 50,000 followers on social media alone. The goal now is to open another location in Gávea later this year. A third location is being planned in VillageMall.

"It's a really cool level and a really chic place. We're really excited, but construction hasn't even started there. Yesterday I went to the one in Gávea, construction has already started and we'll be delivering this year," says Manu Cit.

The influencer also reveals that the price of the plans may vary from unit to unit, but that the gym always seeks to offer a cost-benefit ratio.

Unlike its competitors, at Manu Cit's partner gym, members are encouraged to create content for social media. Among the machines and dumbbells, members also find tripods to support their cell phones.

"There's nothing more valuable than word of mouth for a business. It's been around for thousands of years. So, nothing is more trustworthy than your friend. You're filming yourself and have the opportunity to speak to your micro-community; there's nothing more valuable than that sincere recommendation," he explains.
