Testimonials

Feedback from my clients has been a major factor in helping me to keep going with this project! It warms my heart to know that my workouts are helping people have a better quality of life. Here’s some comments I received about my workouts and programs:

Amber Twitty

FIBROMYALGIA

I'll never forget the first time I did MITFIT 90 Day 2... I used to love intense workouts before fibromyalgia and the stair master was my favorite thing to use in the gym. Now I have to take a break halfway up the stairs in my house. These workouts and the comments throughout about listening to my body make me feel understood and cared for. I LOVE all the stretches throughout!

Gale Vande Voort

LUPUS, ERYTHEMATOSUS

I can’t let the fear of a flare or fatigue stop me any longer. How often do we hear ‘motion is lotion’? A few years ago I found Cocolime fitness and thought I’d give it a try, but that fear kept stopping me. After 2 cancer scares last year I decided I need to put the fear aside. I can do hard things. So I looked into Suzanne’s programs again and was happy to find Fibro Fit. I especially love the feature of the option for low energy days. I can assess and do what feels best for me each day. I’m on day 18 and already noticing my stamina is improving. I finally found a doc that took the time to listen and did the testing for me to get a proper diagnosis… Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. A few years later we added rheumatoid arthritis (I’ve since added fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue among a grocery list of other diagnoses). THANK YOU Suzanne for developing these exercises!

SamMi Zelley

FIBROMYALGIA

I’m a full-time undergraduate student based in Southeast Alaska. This year, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS); both my Mother and my great-grandmother also have/had FMS. I was essentially stuck on my couch for most of the Summer and could not work or even take care of myself. I’m significantly better than I was, but I’ve been avoiding movement because (like most people, especially fellow plus-size people) I have a complicated relationship with it; I struggle with perfectionism and pushing myself too hard in the name of “no pain, no gain.” 

I just purchased the MITFIT90 program, and today is my third day on the program! I feel sore, but it’s been a pleasant soreness that makes me feel a small sense of accomplishment. Weight loss would be a pleasant side effect, but that isn’t my goal—my goal is to feel good and to be strong. Especially where I live, it’s important to me to be able to participate in outdoor recreation, like hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, etc. 

So far, it’s a win that I’ve simply started the program (which was specifically this week’s assignment from my therapist). It’s even better that the program itself has felt achievable, supportive, and nourishing! The timing is also fitting, as this time of year is particularly challenging (we have around 6.5 hours of “daylight” right now with daily cloud cover, and we’ll get down to about 4.5 hours of “daylight” by the Solstice). I need to be moving right now, no matter how small. 

I’m so grateful to be here. I’m feeling very hopeful!

Imane

ME/CFS

Hi, my name is Imane. I have purchased mitfit90 on sale last week and since haven’t missed a day. I did some workouts of coco lime fitness since 2018, but because I have ME/cfs it was quite hard to follow through with them. I started to work on nervous system dysregulation and neuroplasticity this year and see good results from that, so that’s why I decided to try mitfit90. I love that I can choose for a low energy version if needed. And even though I am only on day 6, I loved it so far and have not had repercussions in my energy or pain levels (yet) so this is great and a win for me.

Rebecca Ruth

CHRONIC ILLNESS

 I get overwhelmed with all the information "out there" and what "they" recommend. I have a long cycle of trying a new workout/eating plan/health book and going too hard (without realizing that I am), crashing, then doing nothing until I start over again.

I got the CocoLime 7-day workout and found it refreshing to be spoken to so kindly and to be assured that I can trust myself and listen to my body. I am also in love with the idea that small, consistent efforts count.

Alex Whiteley

FIBROMYALGIA

I'm Alex from the UK and I have fibro. I've just competed the 7 day kickstart and hoping to continue. I used to dance 25 hours a week but then I got sick and now my pain and fatigue stops me doing what I want. I'm going to regain some movement, strength, and stamina (and hopefully list some inches too!).

Naomi Lloyd

EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME

I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome (connective tissue disorder) which means I can't physically do most workouts and my energy levels can change very quickly. I have loved having the CLF TV subscription, it means I can choose a challanging workout or a shorter easier one. It has really helped me begin trying to strengthen my body. I'm looking forward to the 90 day program to see what I can add. 

Amanda Gagnon

AUTOIMMUNE & LYME

I have been unable to integrate fitness into my healing journey until I tried your 90 day program. As someone with autoimmune challenges and Lyme co-infections, exercise intolerance has been a reality of mine. 

I’ve known for a long time that in addition to my dietary changes, that movement was going to be key for my healing. It took me time to finally realize that high intensity workouts were not for me, and that my focus needed to be on movement, not results, this is how I found Cocolime fitness. In search of something that would get me moving, but felt achievable within my own health constraints. 

I have now done your 90 day program 4x and it is an integral part of my routine. I am the strongest I have ever been, and while I shifted my focus away from the gains, they did come with time. 

Thank you for your commitment to those of us who needed an exercise program that could work within our limitations and grow as we continue to heal. Chronic illness is challenging enough to navigate, and you’ve made one of the important steps to healing accessible and achievable. Suzanne, Thank you!

Angie Dober

SCOLIOSIS & FIBROMYALGIA

I used to say it was easier to list the parts of my body that were pain free rather than trying to explain to someone what parts were hurting,  because that would make for a much shorter list!  My shins and maybe my earlobes.  Everything else has,  at some point or another,  hurt.  Maybe I was trying to add a little humor to my situation,  which if I’m being honest wasn’t really that funny.   

When I was six I was diagnosed with scoliosis,  with an s shaped curve in my spine.  This required me to wear a back brace from age 11 to about 15, and severely limited my physical activity.   When I was 15 my specialist said my spine was stabilized, as I was finished growing,  and the brace was no longer needed.  About three years later I began to have intense lover back pain. By my mid 20’s the pain wasn’t limited to my back. It felt like my body would pick a spot and decide to hate it for a while.  Tenderness, stiffness,  pain and fatigue became part of my everyday normal. It took almost five years to get an official diagnosis of fibromyalgia.   Fast forward through ten years of good days, bad days, and lots of frustration and then I stumbled upon  cocolime fitness! I signed up for mitfit 90 in March of 2021.  The exercise schedule,  the gentle works outs,  and the stretching were a great combination for me.  I especially love the programs attitude of “do what you can,  listen to your body and progress slowly”. So many mainstream exercise programs make you feel like a failure if you can’t keep up,  or can’t do the exercises exactly the way they are shown.  But with cocolime the “your body,  your journey” approach removed all of the guilt and shame of not being a fitness superstar!  

 I loved the mitfit nine step nutrition plan. It showed me how to eat to nourish my body,  giving it lots of anti inflammatory nutritious food that make by body feel better.   As a bonus, my husband and kids are eating healthier now too!  

After finishing mitfit I became a members of CLTV,  and am loving the many many workout options.  I plan to remain a lifelong member!

Thanks to Cocolime fitness I have less pain, increased strength and flexibility,  my skin is clearer and softer, and I have lost 35 pounds. I will be eternally grateful!

FIBROMYALGIA

Just finished MITFIT 90 Day 60 workout! wowza! I honestly didn’t know if I could do it but Suzanne W. nailed it with this recharged version! The fatigue/low energy options allowed me to keep going and stay consistent and motivated to do the next day! I actually have stretched almost every morning and evening even on rest days or if stretching isn’t part of the workout because I find my body really wants it! I am so excited to do the next phase and then explore the CLFTV options once I’m done and get more creative with my workouts. 🥳 Thanks Suzanne W. for helping me feel so empowered in my body!!”

Danelle Buffan

CHRONIC PAIN

“I've been doing your program for a year now, and it has given me my confidence, hope, and strength back. Its also decreased my pain significantly as long as long as I keep up with it. I'm able to control my emotions better and think more clearly. I've lost four pant sizes, and I'm wearing a small in everything again. So I wanted to say thank you. Because of you have have more good days than bad. I've had a lot of hard hits in life, and finding your program helped turn it around. You've also helped me accept me and my limitations/capabilities with your inspiration and honesty. Helping my feelings of failure, with guilt and frustration. After my accident, everything in my life changed, including myself. And after my chronic pain and medical diagnoses, I had given up on any shred of my old life. You helped change that and gave me some sense of self again,

So, again, thank you, especially for all of the "dessert." I wish the best for you and yours.”

UPDATE: Also, I forgot to mention that I’ve lost 20Lbs and 4 pant sizes.

Cheryce

FIBROMYALGIA

Exercising for me is the difference between feeling almost normal and feeling like I'm 80. Even when I stop for a week or so I feel the difference right away. It will have to be a lifetime commitment. I know others who suffer from Fibro and I don't know how much better it is possible for them to feel, but I'm not even sure they know just how much exercising makes a difference. The problem is the first few weeks are really the worst when you start exercising, and I think many believe it makes them worse and give up. Or Like me, they go into it like a crazy person and then feel like they got hit by a train the next day and then can't exercise for a week! I always had the belief that it had to hurt to work. Wow was I wrong. You are the only programme I have found that fits my needs wonderfully.

Eneida Pignone

FIBROMYALGIA

Hello, my name is Eneida and I’ve been doing your workouts for a while but recently I have been doing it more regularly and it has helped me so much. Especially the stretches. I also have fibromyalgia and having been dealing with a lot of pain but I am so grateful for your videos and wanted to thank you for your excellent work. I have shared your workouts with my pain management doc and he said that he’ll be sharing it with more of his patients. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Melanie Harris

HASHIMOTO’S

My daughter and I have Hashimoto’s as well as other issues.  We tried various forms of exercise and have always ended up fatigued and in a lot of pain. The only thing we could maintain was gentle pilates but we really weren't getting any stronger.  If anyone had told us 3 months before starting MITFIT 90 that we would be lifting weights, we never ever would have believed them...we couldn't even believe ourselves as the class slowly introduced cardio and weights...and we could do it!  And we didn't crash afterwards!  Whilst we are still tackling various health problems, we are really enjoying having more toned bodies!  And I think the greatest benefit we have received has been better physical stamina for daily activities.  I also had costochondritis during the pandemic, it was intensely painful and whilst phsiotherapists and chiropractors were helpful, the stretches on MITFIT 90 have helped my symptoms almost disappear.  So grateful!  Thank you for all your hard work and for understanding what we really need.

FIBROMYALGIA

I’m excited to share with you this interview with Kaz Akers, a former dancer and stunt actress that’s using Cocolime Fitness workouts to stay fit and deal with fibromyalgia. Learn about her exciting career and how the extremes of the job contributed to her condition today. You’ll also find out why she chose Cocolime Fitness and her advice for newbies!

Jeanette Moser

Lupus

Getting an autoimmune disease definitely brought its downsides. It brought pain, fatigue, rashes, and depression. When I started to exercise regularly it rejuvenated my mind and helped get me out of a period of depression. It has helped me to loosen up my joints and to make my fatigue a little more manageable. Even though I will never be able to exercise lupus out of my life...I feel better. On top of that, I have lost 16 pounds since being diagnosed with lupus. No gym membership necessary! Just this little space by my bed and low to medium intensity workouts by Cocolime Fitness that are geared towards chronic pain and fatigue sufferers. I wanted to share this part of my journey to encourage any of you who are debating on taking the plunge to bettering your health. If I, a person with chronic pain and fatigue who is knee-deep in grad school studies can do it, so can you!

Ashley Titus

FIBROMYALGIA

Hi Suzanne, I have followed along with your workouts for a couple of years now after I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and then rheumatoid arthritis. After deciding to finally steward my body well and do what I could to lose the weight that I had gained over the past few years I signed up for your Cocolime TV and have been working out with your videos for the last 7 weeks consistently. I wanted to say thank you so much. With a diet change and your workouts my body has changed so much. I love how when I use your workouts i don't feel weak, behind, or too sick. I love when you talk about how when we are sick we may not be able to do HIIT but we can do what we can! It is such a huge encouragement and blessing. Thank you so very much.

Becki Colling

FIBROMYALGIA

Can I please just take a minute to thank you for your channel and social media channels! I have been in chronic pain for nine years, neck pain, back pain, wrists pain, knee pain, the list goes on!

I have been referred to many different physics, chiropractors, musculoskeletal units, told I would never be fixed because they didn’t know what was wrong, I was just broken. 

Very recently I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, my pain level is still the same right now, but I now know I have something to work with. 

I Youtubed workouts for Fibromyalgia on Monday of this week and found your channel, and I’ve worked out 4 times! 😱🙌🏻

Yes I am sore, but I can actually still move! Something I didn’t used to be able to do with a previous fitness trainer (as we didn’t know my underlying issue, not his fault)

I feel so good about myself and this has given me hope! Anyway if you ever read this…just a massive thank you! I feel so positive right now, which I haven’t for a long time. X

Casey’s story really inspires hope. Learn how MITFIT 90 helped her with her fibromyalgia pain and to lose weight!

Heather Gilmore

FIBROMYALGIA

I just love the new walk and tone exercise and the sitting inner thigh area. I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran with lots of health problems to include nerve damage from the waste down, fibromyalgia, discs problems and PTSD. Your videos have opened a new door for me, exercises I can do, someone that understands, I look forward to the workout videos even when in severe pain, you keep me going. I used to run all the time in the Army and once I was injured my muscles in my thighs, butt and stomach went south. With your exercises I able to recover some of me that I lost. Thank you so much for being a light at the end of the tunnel. Your are the best!

Miah

FIBROMYALGIA & CFS

I’m excited to share with you my recent interview with Miah, who suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, but now is doing much better after completing MITFIT 90. If you’ve been hesitant about trying Cocolime Fitness, then grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Sarah Marielle 

FIBROMYALGIA

I’m hitting my 30’s and am adjusting to an active lifestyle once again. I was a nurse in the PICU for a while and got my steps in for the day on the floor and by hitting the shops, but I just couldn’t build up the discipline to exercise regularly. After my accident, I came down with a severe form of Fibromyalgia. I used a wheelchair and walker and then a cane.  Now I am walking again, unassisted and doing my best to keep a routine thanks to MITFIT 90!  It has helped me to keep up the muscle I had to rebuild in physical therapy and keep myself moving. The stretches are amazing, especially now that I am in nursing administration sitting at my desk most of the day. The stretches really help relax these muscles and my flexibility is definitely improving beyond what I could have imagined for myself, and it keeps getting better! I am still taking my medications for Fibromyalgia but I am no longer dependent on creams, heat pads and copious amounts of Tylenol. Thank you so much Suzanne!

Regina Johnson

FIBROMYALGIA

Hi Suzanne, I found your information in an article I was reading about fibromyalgia and stumbled on your YouTube channel a month or two ago. You only have a few free videos there but I started to do them twice a week and then lifted heavier weights the other 3-4 days. My fibro was getting worse and at night, my legs felt like they were so heavy I couldn't lift them. My nutritionist suggested I do less cardio and contact a physical trainer for weight lifting help for my fibro and chiari. I couldn't afford that so I signed up for your videos. I have been doing them for almost two weeks and I love them. I do anywhere from 30-40 minutes and I try to mix them up. If it is just a 10 minute video, then I might do 2 or 3. I try to shoot for at least 30 minutes but I love how your videos have warmups and stretches at the end because I think that really helps me. Before I would just lift weights and not do a warmup or any stretching afterwards because I am a busy mom and saw that as a waste of time. With your workouts, my legs don't feel super heavy lately and I am not in as much pain as I normally am. I think your videos have a good mixture of challenging moves in them but not with heavy weights or things that push my body too much. I surely hope you continue what you are doing because I plan on being a subscriber for a long time. I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU. Your workouts have been helping me continue to workout with all this pain.

Emily Woods

FIBROMYALGIA

Your programs and videos have been an amazing find. I've now reached the 5 year "anniversary" of dealing with fibromyalgia and migraines. I used to be so active and it was a struggle to find any fun exercise program that I could do. I finished one of your earlier programs and am now on day 23 of the MITFIT 90 and this has been the best I've felt in 5 years. So thank you for giving time and effort to creating this program.

Sandra Mascio

As I approach the end of my 90 days of Mitfit90 here are ten things I just loved about this program. Although I have been an exerciser pretty consistently for 25 years, I never completed a program before boredom or exhaustion set in. But... yay I was able to finish this one! I feel less tired than I have in a long time. More energetic. Leaner but without losing much weight. I tend to get get bigger when I lift heavy weight but with these workouts my muscles seem tighter and smaller  and my clothes fit better.

  1. Fun! Lots of fun factors--good music, creative moves, Suzanne's pleasant demeanor. 

  2. Do-able. None of the workouts are too long or too difficult yet they are uniquely challenging--working smaller muscles, or total body functional moves and balance reflexes.

  3. The workout calendar provides rest days and easy days progressing to more challenging days as you get further along.

  4. No boredom factor. I love the non repetitive nature of most of the workouts. There is a one-and-done on an exercise except for the dance cardio where it's good to repeat the moves so you can follow along better. 

  5. Ability to download the workouts. I was able to load them on to a flashdrive and plug into my TV so they were easily accessible with no streaming issues.

  6. The Nutrition and Lifestyle packs were incredibly informative. I like how they were broken into phases so you could ease yourself into including the suggestions.

  7. Aesthetically pleasing. The workouts are very nice to look at with a clean set and good lighting and beautiful graphics. I love the countdown of the exercises in the rounds. The artwork on the website with the Lifestyle and Nutrition info is so well set up and accessible with lovely colors, artwork and graphics.

  8. The toning moves--I love the light weight work and bodyweight moves some of which I have never seen before even after having done dozens and dozens of workout dvds over the years. 

  9. All the workouts are very joint friendly. 

  10. Suzanne herself! She's such a motivating instructor. I love her calm and supportive demeanor.

Christianne McCall

Fibromyalgia & CFS

I have been into fitness since I was young. Denise Austin on TV was my go to through the 80's and 90's! LOL! My mom is a personal trainer and used to be in fitness competitions. My dad lifts and runs. So, staying in shape has been drilled into my brain for a LONG time!

I, myself, have taught Yoga and Pilates. I have a YogaFit certification.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS after a bout of Mono around 5 years ago. In hindsight, I believe I was under a HUGE amount of stress and my body just gave out.

Since getting ill, I have tried SO MANY things to help. Beachbody (too much) just Yoga (not enough.) I knew I needed to get some strength training and cardio in but couldn't find a program that I could stick with and didn't bore me.

I found Cocolime Fitness from a Google search with fitness and fibromyalgia. This was back in April of this year (2019) after a joint dr told me to go to Physical Therapy full time to help my hip and low back issues. 

I couldn't afford the co-pays and knew there had to be SOMETHING out there! I was so lucky to find you!

From the beginning, I have loved your bubbly spirit and style. You say so many things that just resonate with me. I was so happy to see that you mixed things up and didn't do the SAME THING ALL THE TIME! (UGH)

It took me a few months of doing your free YouTube videos but in early July, I bought the MITFIT program because I wanted to go a little deeper that what your channel offered.

I admit, after doing Beachbody, I was tentative on spending money. Wasn't sure what I was going to get!

I am SO GRATEFUL that I bought it for myself. I printed out all the recipes, tips and guides. They are in a 3 ring binder and I refer to them frequently.

I cannot go a day WITHOUT doing some sort of exercise. Some days it may only be stretching, but I have found that it helps me stay flexible and does perk up my energy.

The way you have the days set up in the 90 day program are easy to follow. If I feel what you have for a particular day is just TOO much for me, I find something else; either from the program or your YouTube page. 

Your program has been a blessing to me. I share it on Instagram often and even showed it to my personal trainer mom! 

Thank you for all you do. I understand suffering with chronic illness and trying to hold a job, have a home and a life! You are a rockstar! Your videos are amazing and I hope you continue to add to the MITFIT program!

EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME

POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME

I can’t thank you enough for what you do! I’m a woman in her mid-thirties who suffers from Ehlers danlos syndrome and Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. What you said about traditional workouts causing injury when done long term is so true. This happened to me and phrases uttered by the instructors such as “feel the burn” and “no pain no gain” caused me to ignore the warning signs. Now your workouts are all I feel capable of doing without experiencing a health crash or causing further harm to joints that are highly unstable and have very little remaining cartilage. Staying fit when one is not fully healthy is a struggle, and I don’t know where I’d be without your help.

Tonia Reed

Weight Loss

I started the program and adore it. I actually look forward to exercising now! Before, I would dread it and hope it was over as soon as I started. Lol and I don’t know if it's a coincidence or not but I've lost 4 pounds! I gained 20 pounds from stress and could not get rid of it no matter what I've been doing. So to lose 4 is amazing!

Crystal Dwyer-Smith

Endometriosis, Fibro, IBS

I have endometriosis, IBS, Fibromyalgia and goodness knows what else. Last year was a bad year for me health wise. I was spiraling down the rabbit hole when I found Cocolime Fitness. I decided to change my life style and include Cocolime on this journey. I just started but wow! I can already feel a difference! I love MITFIT 90 and am glad you did this for us all. Thank you, thank you!!

Bridget Curtiss

FIBROMYALGIA

My name is Bridget, and I am in my late twenties. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2015 along with suffering with other medical conditions. It definitely has been a life changing experience as well as a confusing several years. About a year ago, I made the decision to leave my dream job because I felt the job was no longer conducive for my health, and I have had to do a lot of soul searching.
 I will be honest that I have had many excuses for avoiding exercise. “I am in too much pain and shouldn’t exercise” or I was worried that I may cause a fibromyalgia flare if I did the wrong exercise or did too much too soon. Recently, I made the decision to take the leap and start exercising regularly because I wanted to feel healthier and stronger. I am so happy that I found your YouTube channel as it has been such an inspiration to me. It definitely gives me hope for a healthier and happier future. I cannot express accurately in words how grateful I am for your work in helping people such as myself to live healthier and happier lives. I am enjoying the 23 day workout plan. I just completed day #8, and I already feel leaner, longer, and stronger. It has been extremely beneficial to have a plan of what order to do the exercise videos in each day. I look forward to seeing my body continue to change. Thank you for continuing to make these videos.

Kim Russell

Arthritis

I have been an athlete all my life and found I have arthritis in my lower back and elsewhere.  I’m too young for all this! LOL Your program has me moving again after a few years of almost complete inactivity.

Daniele Burt

Car Accident

Hi! My name is Daniele and I have fibromyalgia and hashimoto’s disease. I am absolutely loving your workouts. I was in a very bad car accident 2.5 years ago, had a displaced broken tibia along with other more minor injuries. But because of all of the soft tissue damage in the car accident, they decided against surgery so my bone healed still displaced near my knee. I now have severe arthritis and pain in my left knee. I have been doing pretty well with these exercises and one of my favorites to do is the lazy day workout. It was the one that made me decide to purchase your 23 day plan. I think you’re a wonderful teacher and make it fun for me. Thank you for producing content that has actually made me excited to workout. I had tried a “boot camp” style program. The trainers there told me I’d be able to do everything, and though they did their best to modify for me, it just wasn’t working. I needed more rest days in between and at that point seemed useless. But I’m able to do your workouts 4-5 times a week. I’m feeling hopeful that I’ll be able to at least get back to the mobility and strength I had before my accident since I gained a lot of weight from not being able to walk for 4 months.

Enjoy this interview with Robin from South Africa. She’s been using Cocolime Fitness TV for about three years and is having incredible results!

Rebecca

Intense workouts

Cocolime Fitness has been amazing for me.  After realizing my intense workouts were doing more harm than good to my body due to adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism, these workouts have been just what my body needed and craved.  With Suzanne’s workouts, I am able to workout daily like I love and I am seeing good results with some days only working out for 15 minutes!! I also really love her new build up series! Everyone who has chronic pain or fatigue needs to try CL Fitness!

Lisa

Adrenal fatigue

I Thought I would send a note to say how fabulous your workouts are. I am a fat girl (formally fit girl) with chronic pain and adrenal fatigue. I found your youtube channel and it has made a difference. After I finished the first one I sat down and cried.....Why....because I had smiled all throughout your workout. I felt happy about exercise for the first time in ages. Thank you for the strength you show in creating these videos. I realize it can’t be easy. So sending you a big massive hug from a smiling Kiwi.

Carrie-Ann

FIBROMYALGIA

Hi Suzanne, I just wanted to message you to thank you so much for your Youtube channel! I’m overweight and recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I’m a certified fitness instructor but lost all ability to even walk fast without pain! I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago as a start of a new year health kick and I’m honestly so pleased with the results. I’ve lost around 4lbs by combining your workouts with healthier foods and a weekly aqua fitness class. So thank you for your channel!

Erin Hilton

FIBROMYALGIA

I just wanted to reach out and thank you so much for what you are doing. I've been struggling with chronic pain for years and just recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I'm only 28 years old, and this year my pain has increased significantly. As I'm sure you know, it's been extremely stressful, emotional, and at times overwhelming to deal with. Every time I tried to do better for myself I was discouraged by how little I could do and how much I hurt after. I think your stretches and workouts are going to help me out of some depression. This is the first time in YEARS I've been able to, and maybe the first time ever I've looked forward to exercise. Even though my pain is something I'm really struggling with right now, I feel the best when I'm doing your stretches. Everything you do is unlike anything else. Please don't ever stop!!! You are so amazing and you are probably having such an impact on so many lives! On mine anyway. Thank you so so much you are THE best!

Tessa Corbett

FIBROMYALGIA

“I’m 21 years old and have been dealing with fibromyalgia for as long as I can remember. I was always super athletic as a child so when I stopped moving around near my teen years I started to struggle with body pain very badly. My pain and depression got so bad at one point that it pushed me to drop out of my first year at university. That was 3 years ago and I didn’t start workout out until I found your channel about 3-4 months ago. I have always done nutritional healing with vitamins and minerals and I stay away from my food allergies and intolerances. About 3 months ago I was diagnosed with Lyme disease which is the cause of my fibro. Working out to your videos 4 times a week, along with herbs, diet, vitamins and minerals I have noticed so much change in only 2 months. I have much more energy and I see physical change in my body. I’m starting to get abs and muscle definition on every single inch of my body! I feel motivated to workout, which I never thought was possible for me. I’m able to withstand more strenuous activity and even the simple things that used to cause unbelievable pain, hardly phase me anymore. I have been to so many specialists and doctors throughout the years but finding your channel made me feel like I wasn’t alone and made me want to get better. I just want to thank you for what you do! It has definitely changed my life.” ★★★★★

FIBROMYALGIA

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your website that I thankfully found after getting discouraged with “normal” exercise and being in so much pain and feeling worse after! I have fibromyalgia and CFS and had not exercised for months as I was too scared and every time I did I felt worse… I have been doing your workouts twice a week then your stretch videos on Friday. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. THEY HAVE HELPED ME & MY BODY TO GET MOVING AGAIN!” ★★★★★

FIBROMYALGIA

“I just wanted to thank you for these wonderful workout videos. I was an avid runner up until I was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain syndrome earlier this year. I have been very depressed and upset at the possibility of never being able to run again. All I did was complain about my fate until I realized I was not doing myself any favors and I needed to set an example for my kids. I have gained during this process around 15 pounds so I was determined to regain my life back. I started eating healthy again, being positive and researching for some exercise videos that were easy enough for my condition to do but could allow me to continue to get moving without exacerbating my symptoms. So, I came across your website and I have to say that I have tried a few different workouts on your site and absolutely love them. I feel energized after I am done and specifically I do not feel like I am paying for doing them the next day. May the Lord Bless you today and always for these videos you are doing to help those out there that are suffering like me!” ★★★★★

FIBROMYALGIA

“Hi, I am a 30 year old woman from Norway who just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia after dealing with chronic pain for about 15 years. I was also diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia 4 years ago, which causes a lot of problems with being tired and having fatigue. When I was younger I worked out a lot and had ambitions of being a professional dancer. Pain and sleepiness set an end to that, but I managed to get a bachelors degree in structural engineering instead. Thousands of times I have tried to workout on a regular basis but it has always ended in more pain and/or fatigue. I recently found your YouTube channel and I just have to applaud you for the amazing workouts and talks you do. Finally I have found workouts I can manage and I absolutely love how you don’t try to push the viewer beyond their own limits. Another thing that makes your videos great is that you also get tired during the workouts and that you say that you can only do the light version of the movement today. This makes me feel more normal about my capacity and makes it easier to slow myself down when I have to. I love your channel so much that I have told my physical therapist about it, and she thought it sounded awesome as well, so she would check it out. I am really excited about the workout programs and the apps! I will definitely buy them all! Keep up the good work - I wish you the best of luck! Lots and love and gratitude from the small town of Molde in Norway.” ★★★★★

CHRONIC PAIN, FIBROMYALGIA, INJURIES

“I have just started doing your videos this week. I haven’t exercised in a while due to chronic pain, fibro, and other injury ailments. I couldn’t find anything that provided a good workout without having to jump all around - everything is geared for people in shape and capabilities to push beyond my limits. I am really enjoying your approach and comments throughout the videos that provide positive reinforcement to do what you can and not feel guilty about your limitations. Turning 50, I know I really need to get back in shape so that I can begin to feel better and be in a body for the next 50 years. I will enjoy doing your videos throughout my journey back to fitness. Thank you!” ★★★★★

PTSD & DEPRESSION

“Thank you so much! I do not have fibromyalgia, but I do have Complex PTSD and a depression that is going for over 7 years. When it is hard to breath it is almost impossible to do any exercise, so I kept gaining weight. A few weeks ago I started with your workouts because I couldn’t do any beginners normal workout. The amazing thing is I am still doing them, not every day, but definitely a couple times a week and believe it or not, I feel stronger, I get tired less, and those things have helped me a lot with my mental illness. I even feel more optimistic…” ★★★★★

GASTRIC PROBLEMS, FATIGUE

“I was suffering from gastric problems, fatigue and bloating and had so many home remedies but it was not working.

CHRONIC FATIGUE

“Thank you for taking the time to put all you have together (and in the face of your own challenges) for those of us who are struggling with the verity of matters you are tackling. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue 2 months ago after a battle which started 5 years ago suffering 2 minor Strokes a year apart, a closure of a hole in my heart, which was discovered due to my strokes, PTSD and a positive Lyme disease result in Feb of 2017 and all with the ongoing symptoms of Chronic Fatigue. I'm writing to you as I will soon be attending a years programme that is to give me strategies for managing myself and so improving my situation. I have a background in fitness and served in the British Army for 12 years in which I was a Physical Training Instructor and HM Prison service for 8 years as a Physical Education Officer. Now however I am at that place where as I journey along the road to recovery I want to help and empower others that a better life can be had and that we don't have to suffer. You have put together an amazing programme and all in the face of adversity yourself. Thank you again for doing all you are and I look forward to trying out your plan and seeing the results for myself.” ★★★★★

CHRONIC PAIN

“I’ve been completing some of your workouts for the last 3 weeks. I am eternally grateful for the videos. I used to be incredibly active, then as you know, things changed dramatically and, I found it incredibly difficult to even move for days, putting weight on fast. I came across your videos, I watched some, tried some and I was hooked. Thank you for your positiveness… Also I wanted to say it’s great the way you encourage and sympathize throughout the workouts, absolutely helps getting through on bad days when I don’t want to move. Knowing I’ll feel better after and that you’ve designed this for us chronic pain warriors really helps… I’ve gone down 2 sizes since beginning. Keep being the amazing you!” ★★★★★

INFLAMMATION

“I’ve lost 6 inches from my waist and not sure of other measurements…Its amazing the amount of inflammation I have lost…Thank you again! Im glad to follow and spread your mission as much as I can. God bless.” ★★★★★

Amanda Guarino

“I just wanted to say a quick thank you. I’m turning 40 this year and I have always hated high impact workouts. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started a workout routine then stopped because it was just too much for me. I’ve been doing your workouts for a year now. They are always fun and I feel great! I love that there are so many different ones to choose from, depending on how I’m feeling. You are fun, you’re relatable and you’re extremely encouraging. I appreciate all of those qualities so again, thank you!” ★★★★★

FIBROMYALGIA

“I’m a 26 year old girl from Sweden. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago, but have been living with it since I was 10 (not knowing what it was). The past years I’ve been trying to do workouts, but with the result of headaches and feeling worse than before… But 6 months ago I found you. I always feel so much better after doing your workouts, thanks to your knowledge and your incredible personality (it always makes me smile)! :) My favorite part in all of your videos I when you don’t edit the film, or when you say that you have to take a break, or fall over because of your balance. That makes you human, and among the videos on YouTube, also unique. I really do love it! I can’t thank you enough for your videos, and I really hope that you understand that you are a life changer (for the better of course)!” ★★★★★

Natalie Ptak

“You are such an inspiration, and I have recommended your program to a number of folks including a mental health professional who is going to share it with her fibro patients. Keep fighting the good fight! You help so many of us!” ★★★★★
