"I'm Leaving the UK...": Jay Kara promises he is back to stay

The catch-up vlog arrived alongside two new gym Shorts, one pitting a gym bro against a football and one racing 100 push-ups against the clock.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

I'm Leaving the UK...I'm Leaving the UK...

"I'm Leaving the UK..." is the kind of title that makes regular viewers sit up, and Jay Kara's description explains it as the start of a new chapter. After a long stretch away from longer videos, he calls this vlog a full catch-up: where he has been, what has been happening behind the scenes and what comes next. He admits he has been inconsistent with long-form uploads, thanks everyone who stuck around, and says he wants to document training, football, travel, food and the boys without overthinking every upload. His tags point at Japan, Thailand, Bali and Australia, so the road ahead looks long.

The Shorts kept their usual shape. "GYMBRO VS FOOTBALL 😱⚽️" mixes his two loves, and its comments are about footwork, with one viewer pointing at a pair of strawberry-patterned socks and another saying he makes a decent footballer as well as a gym bro. Two days later came "100 PUSH UPS IN 2 MINUTES CHALLENGE", the newest of the three and the one moving fastest now. Older skits are still working too: "THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER SHARE MACHINES" is closing in on 100,000 views.

The channel as a whole is running a little above its normal pace, with close to half a million views over the week and about 1,000 new subscribers. Among the fitness channels nearest in size, Jeremy Miller is having the big week, while instructor_bensei and Get Fit Fast are running well under their usual pace. Jay sits comfortably in the middle, on a week when he said, in his own words, that this time he is staying.
