Concerns are being held for a missing social media fitness influencer who has not been seen for nearly a month.

“Her family is concerned with her wellbeing and asking for the public’s help,” police said.

Her sister Ca’rynn wrote on Instagram Ms Sims has left behind her phone and her dog, “which is unlike her”.

“Our extended family (my grandad, aunts and cousins) cannot reach her,” she wrote.

She added that her parents and her other sister have also tried to contact Ms Sims.

“There is no indication to where she may have been headed after last leaving her home,” she wrote.

Chris’tol Sims, the other sister, wrote the 30-year-old “is a very independent person” but the family is concerned for her welfare.

"As we've recently started living in separate places, I do not have day-to-day access to her," she wrote.

"I'm trying to make sure she's okay, and will exhaust every option."

Ms Sims has 215,000 on her personal Instagram page, and a further 12,000 followers on her training page where she shares fitness tips and exercise videos.

Her last post was in April when she posted about her compression pants after doing leg day at the gym.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Squad or the missing persons unit.
