Andréa Sunshine charges £200 for ten minutes of flexing.

The men booking her don’t want anything sexual. They want to look at her biceps.

The 56-year-old fitness coach, who splits her time between Amsterdam and London, made over £10,000 in a single month doing essentially this. She found the platform in April. She hasn’t really stopped.

She’s posted the results to 476,000 Instagram followers, most of whom seem genuinely confused by the existence of a gran with that physique.

The praise comes back to the same thing: she doesn’t look 56.

What none of those followers knew, until recently, was that the muscles were now generating a separate income.

“At first, I thought it was all fantasy and some form of roleplay,” she told Creatorzine.

“But then it opened a strange window into modern masculinity, female power and digital loneliness. I’m still processing the whole thing myself.”

Pay first. Ask later

Online sessions start at £200 for ten minutes. She flexes. She poses. The booking ends.

In-person costs more. £400 to start, climbing depending on what’s requested, how long it lasts, and where the client wants to meet.

The clientele isn’t random: fitness fans, athletes, wrestlers, the kind of bodybuilding-adjacent men who already understand what a 56-year-old with serious quads represents.

One recent client paid £4,500 to fly her to London. Sunshine already lives in London.

“Instead of being asked for explicit, sexual content, I’ve been speaking with men who admire my muscles,” she said.

“I’ve been offered gifts, financial support, travel and so much more. All for doing virtually nothing.”

Personal assistants on tap

Some of the men clean her flat. Some do her washing. Some run errands.

“It’s like I’ve got personal assistants on tap, all because they like the attention of a physically strong woman,” she said.

“Sometimes, they’re paying for me to do nothing. Literally.”

She describes it as empowering, and also as a hidden subculture most people don’t know exists. Both can be true.

She also thinks the trust runs in one direction because of who she is.

“People feel comfortable paying for everything up front because they know who I am.”

Engaged to herself

Sunshine swore off men a while back. Then she proposed to herself.

“I refused to enter into another month waiting for a man to choose, validate or complete me,” she said.

“Why should I wait for someone else to give me the love I already deserve? When I saw the ring, I felt like it was calling me.”

She wasn’t looking for a way to monetise her muscles when she joined the platform.

She was looking for people to talk to. The £10,000 month came after.

Why this matters for creators

The interesting bit, beyond the numbers, is the category.

This isn’t OnlyFans. It isn’t sex work in any conventional sense. It’s a paid admiration economy where the product is presence, attention, and in Sunshine’s case, visible deltoids.

Creators have been told for years that the real money lives behind explicit content. Sunshine’s bank statement disagrees.

Niche fan platforms catering to specific aesthetic interests, muscle worship, foot content, dominance dynamics, have been growing quietly while the mainstream creator economy talks itself in circles about brand deals and TikTok Shop.

The audiences are smaller. The spend per user is enormous.

What’s next

Sunshine has short-term rentals booked across several cities, all paid for by clients.

She’s still posting on Instagram. She hasn’t gone back on the dating apps.

She’s still engaged.
