“My peace looks different than your peace.” THIS 👏🏻 DEAR TOXIC COMMENTERS - Cassey is truly what it means to be body positive. Taking care of your body and loving it enough to go on a journey to get it to its natural best. Body positive is NOT eating junk food everyday, gaining weight, then feeling bad and saying “body positive.” Cassey has gone through so much and is in such a good place now. BE HAPPY FOR THE WOMAN AND CHEER HER ON. YOU ARE NOT BEING BODY POSITIVE BY HATING ON ANOTHER BODY.
"My focus was to be a good instructor. Not a good Asian instructor, not a good fat instructor, not a good female instructor. Just a good instructor..."
This honestly sounds like people projecting their own insecurities and lack of self love on someone who is actually doing something about their happiness and body. Been following you for years and every time I get unmotivated, you are the one who brings me back to caring about my health and fitness. Keep up the great work, love you Cassey
Me too! Cassey is always my motivational coach. When I'm feeling really bad about myself I just do at least one video and I feel better. Sometimes just a tiny bit but better! It's like magic and I am so beyond thankful for Cassey's videos.
Yup. When we see things in others that we wish we were doing, we sometimes react pretty harshly, and it has nothing to do with the other person. Good comment.
I swear the “body positive” movement has become so toxic. I always took body positive as finding peace with our own bodies and not judging other bodies. Helping each other find a place of happiness. Treating our bodies, our minds and our spirits with respect and respecting that those things look different for each person. I ❤️ you Casey, you are perfect as you are. I’ll say it is you gain 50 or stay where you are so long as you’re happy.
I feel like every "woke" movement eventaully reaches a place where they cancel and shame people for not being woke enough, even if they started out fighting against shame. It's almost an early stage of maturation. A person first rebels against everything they know before they have more experiences and learn to integrate both sides of an argument and adress real issues from a place of compassion rather than hate. I see it all the time in people who are new to a particular movement.
The problem with the BP movement like many movements that become woke is that they start off with an excellent premise, then the perpetual victims and failures get attached to it and start to make waves because they want the movement to suit them, so they begin to twist the movement around at first with some fluffy loving sounding stuff that at first youre like eh i dont agree with this but i dont see the harm in it, then they keep pushing on that to the point where if you dont agree with their extreeme then YOU are being the mean hateful dangerous thinker ex. all bodies are beautiful. Surface level thats totally agreeable bc everyone is at a different place in their lives and has different factors, but the idea is just trying to be a little healthier than yesterday. Now, if you dont agree that a 300+ lb morbidly obese woman is "beautiful" then youre an asshole and fat shaming etc and obese is supposedly "normal" or "realistic". It went from dont be a judgmental asshole about people to literally promoting being unhealthy and putting yourself at risk for severe health issues (which they deny basic medicine and say there are none)
This goes to prove how people will hate on anything. she’s literally a FREE fitness instructor trying to get us all healthy and happy but still there’s a problem? lol humanity can be such a mess. Don’t tune into these projections Cassie, there’s plenty of us that LOVE AND APPRECIATE you so much! Your workouts and words of encouragement have changed my life and the lives of many others. Ignore the haters, they need to work on themselves, you’re great!
Reasons why I've stuck with Cassey: She's a normal human being who is ALSO dying with you while you're kicking your butt. She makes eating healthy not suck. She makes me feel good about holding myself accountable.
I'm naturally skinny so whenever I talk about workout or joining gym, people immediately shush me saying that I don't need to workout. Now I keep it a secret.
@Noora Saleh I totally understand this, cuz I am going thru this exact same thing. It’s so sad and makes me so angry and confused. We can truly never live up to people’s expectations. No matter who they are, cuz we will always disappoint them. We should live truly without anyone telling us how to, and use our own best intuition and research
@@hzatul9264 its a good question, but the sad thing is that I've already tried. But they don't believe me cuz they are all caught up with the diet culture and fad stuff. I am comfortable with my own body and I don't really care whether or not its the 'beauty standard'. But exercise makes me happy. Yet others don't see it that way because they think that exercise is just some show and is only for losing weight or getting a six pack or something. idrk was to do at this point other than feel try not to care about what others say, but I end up feeling ashamed most of the time. But yeah this is why lol
Same, I want to work out to feel strong, flexible and to have an able body. Whenever I talked to certain friends about it, the first response is ''why do you have to workout, you've been skinny your whole life.'' Don't even let me start on that ''It's easy for you to talk consistency, because you don't have to lose weight.'' I have to be just as disciplined to move my weak ass, as anybody.
The amount of times Cassey has felt the need to explain and defend herself is honestly heartbreaking. She always gives off so much positivity and kindness in her videos. The people who feel the need to attack her probably shouldn’t even be in this space to begin with.
Did people not learn “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all?” or “TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED?!” What does it cost people to just be KIND to other people? (Sorry rant over! I felt this video)
Right?! I think about this everyday. The hardest pill to swallow is that people dont treat you the way you want to be treated and that they think they can be nasty to you.
I was ready for one of these comments to be justifying why they shame her. I was ready to try and reason with stupid. I’m glad to see those people aren’t here.
"Do you know what's irresponsible? Diagnosing someone you don't know with an eating disorder." I wanted to stand up and applause. Folks, Cassey has been nothing but inclusive and welcoming since the beginning. Cassey, I used your pilates videos every morning when I was going through depression in 2017. Starting my day with your positive attitude and a hit of cardio helped me get through a very hard time in my life. I'm honestly getting a little teared up writing this. You are such an inspiration to me. Stay gold.
Loved this so much. And kudos to you for sticking to your workout every morning even though you were depressed. I know depression and how hard it becomes to even breathe sometimes. When I had the worst time I could have never been active, but it would have helped me a lot. I know that now.
"Not an Asian instructor, not a fat instructor, not a female instructor, just a good instructor..." 3:30 I'm sold. Your ARE a good instructor saying these things. Majority nowadays wants to cash in as a [insert race] [insert gender] [insert what you want to be], and I find those to be not genuine. Keep it up, you're doing an excellent job!
1000000000000 percent.... Cassey is a good instructor, period. She's helped me so much physically but also mentally and emotionally and to me that's what sets her apart.
@@blogilates Love u so much! Plz don't listen to people that talk negative toward you! God made everyone beautiful, and if they can't see that, then thats their problem. You are beautiful!
When Cassey was heavier, I used to do her workouts because they were so effective - they worked for me and helped me achieve my goals. When Cassey changed, I still do her workouts Bc surprisingly, her workouts are now harder - Cassey has gotten unbelievably stronger. When I see her now, Cassey inspires me to not be afraid of reaching my goals. She was gorgeous then, but now I think she looks so good! I’m like “If I do these workouts, maybe I’ll glow like her” and I DO Glow! I hope Cassey knows that there are people like me out here as well...
@@vivasparkle1367 hmm I actually like those 'easier' videos bc they are more inviting to those who aren't as strong. When Cassey's workouts are too hard, I don't really want to do them on my off days haha you know, cause, period hahaha
I haven't finished this video yet, but oh Cassey I truly want you to see this, so I already write it. You ARE a good instructor. Actually, you are an AMAZING teacher, the best in my opinion. You've succeeded in becoming who you want to be, and just for this.. Congratulations. You are so, so inspiring. I wish I could send you back all the hope, the motivation, the light, positivity and empowerment you've sent me. Thank you so so much, you've changed my life. I discovered you in March and oh.. Truly, thank you. You've helped me so much through my journey of healing from depression and my eating disorder.. I'm still learning, but oh, I'm at the end of the video now, and I love you so much as well Cassey. ❤️💕💕💕
Dear Cassie Go back internally and find that little girl you were; who was in so much pain that was seeking to just be loved. Hug her Cassie because you are her hero.
Now that's sweet! And very true. That's what I've been doing and it helps with the healing journey. The "reason" people think you're not good enough is because they're not feeling good enough. That's their issue and you don't have to take that on.
"You can't compare two people who are incomparable." That is so true! We live in such a selfish culture nowadays that people think the world revolves around them and get offended by the slightest thing. Jealousy is huge too.
When I was in high school, my friends and I would go to each others houses. We would watch your videos, and work out in the living rooms, game rooms and theater rooms. We watched you on a big projector and were so inspired how you always did these workouts with a smile on your face the entire time. We are 21 now and don't see each other all the time but we still send each other your monthly work outs! We love you, and I'm sorry you ever felt that way❤ much love
Wow, I never thought she was FAT when her early videos came out at all. I had mad respect cause her workouts would leave me dead not even half way through! Also, I'm very glad you're just being you and doing what makes YOU happy.
I had it different with her though, her workouts make me go through the whole vid on how interactive and motivational she is 🥺 I really feel accomplished and want to do more for my body. Now seeing this vid, no wonder I like her. She can be so genuine. And hearing her being authentic helped a part of me to push further to my own peace.
Tbh anyone paying that much attention to your body probably isn’t even doing your workouts. The real ones here to get their abs crushed, not judge. How you look doesn’t change the fact that your strong as heck and offer some old the best workouts on the internet. Love you Casey 💕💕💕💕
I don’t think she considered herself fat. She obviously had a lot of trauma growing up overweight. All she wanted to do was be in the best physical shape possible for herself. And not feeling like that of course made her strive to want to be better. Nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of yourself possible.
Awesimo that’s so not the way it works. A person is fat based only on herself and the fact that she has excess fat, not because someone else is more fit. You could say she’s not as muscular as a body builder or not as toned as a fitness instructor, but not fat. Not because that’s a dirty word, simply because its not true.
Cassey, I cried watching this. I started watching you back in 2010 when I hadn't really personally worked out a day in my life. A few days in the gym, but nothing long-term. I was 18 years old and had just lost my father, and my home, and I had no friends left after being consumed by that for the last few years. I was the unhealthiest and unhappiest I have ever been. I remember the next day eating a huge bowl of pasta with my mom because I was starving from your workouts, and laughing with her about it, and I didn't once feel bad because you taught me to love my body and not to treat it badly. I remember laughing made my abs hurt, and I laughed a lot because I felt so good about myself. You made me fall in love with fitness from my late teens into now my late twenties. I owe it all to you. Now I do all kinds of workouts, but I always come back to you. I may never have taken care of myself, started exercising, quit smoking, or learned to love myself without your guidance when I was looking everywhere for some, and finding only hatred and confusion. I'm usually a lurker and I never comment on any videos, but I really want you to know how much you mean to me. These people only know hatred and disapproval, and they aim it outwards to people who don't deserve it. Maybe because they are overflowing with it on the inside. Nothing justifies it, and it needs to stop. You have and always will be better than 'good enough'. You changed my life and continue to, and I've told so many people that. My mom even does your workouts because I've been with you so long. They make her feel great too, and she loves you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always be here. Thank you for always being here for me.
this is such a beautiful story. I'm so glad you found Cassey and she gave you the boost of courage and inspiration you needed to take care of YOU. You have a good heart. Thank you for sharing
I really loved that you said that you are a sensitive person and thats just how it is. I’m sick of people telling us that we should grow thicker skin, when really the people who spread negativity should own up to their actions. Its not my responsibility how your words make me feel, but you have responsibility for what you say. I love the honest and direct Cassey and I don’t care how you look as long as you promote a healthy and reflected lifestyle.
All this negativity is a projection of their self-hate and jealously, they want you to feel bad for being what they can't. Don't let them get to you and keep doing what you got to do!
Women : start body positivity movement Also Women: still shaming other women (like Casey) And starting onlyfans selling porn claiming it’s empowering lol
Yep mhm that’s about right. I agree with you because people should not be responsible for what you should feel, think and decide and it’s theirs not mines. So seeya and I throw them out the window.
I really needed this because I've been feeling this idea of not being good enough too. It's easy to say to ignore it, but I do care, especially when it comes from those you love. I'm sorry for these comments. But you are such an inspiration for voicing and starting these conversations. You are good enough no matter what you look like or do in life. Keep being you, because you're nothing short but amazing and inspire me to keep doing me too 💖💖
The ending where you said you'll be there whenever we need you, made me cry. I was already tearing up listening to you talk about how hard you were on yourself for so long and how folks keep commenting hateful stuff, and the last part broke the dam. I, and I'm sure most of your subscribers, love you Cassey. I've been following your videos since I was 17 (I'm 26 now) and you ARE the one who made workouts fun for me. It literally always felt like I was working out with a friend!
Wow, I’ve been following the same amount of time I’m just one year behind you!! I started at 16 and now I’m 25 lol. It’s weird to think about all the people that have grown up doing these workouts together, just separated by distance!
"There will always be someone who can't see your worth, dont let it be you." - Buddhist quote Cassey, you're trying to convince the wrong person. Secure your happiness from within and run with it 💗
I can't remember where I heard this but whenever I feel like people are judging me I say 'not everyone has good taste' in my head over and over again until I believe it xx
That’s pretty cool! Maybe I’ll use it. I am used to say in my head “look at me all you want cause I know I am fabulous “ haha for real that gives me a lot of courage too.
That's because it's true. Social media has manufactured garbage people and so these garbage people want other garbage people because they look good on the outside. My pearls will not be thrown before swine.
I can see the pain in your eyes which breaks my heart.. but just know that people push their insecurities onto other people..which says more about them. I can tell you have a pure heart and are very strong! When we start living for ourselves we become unstoppable :) keep going and never stop because of what other people think.
Same tbh. She is so nice and I would never understand how someone could hate on her. She promotes healthy wellbeing and has helped me a lot not only physically but mentally, too. She's made me so happy.
It’s sad people assume exercise should be done to fit into whatever the “perfect” body of the moment is, rather than to be HAPPY and HEALTHY. So glad you continued listening to your heart regardless of what external expectations asked you to do. Thanks for sharing.
Choosing your trainer based on their bodies is like choosing your dentist based on her/ his smile. No logic. Cassey you are AMAZING 💗 we love u so much!
I do disagree with this to an extent. A lot of people do pick their trainers based on their bodies, as a motivational type thing? Like picking a muscley trainer because you want to look like them. It DOES work as motivation for some people. Not my personal cup of tea, I just want someone who makes sure I know what I'm doing and I work hard. But it's not really the same as picking a dentist based on their smile. Ya know?
I cried so many times watching this video, because Cassey is the one person I look forward to see after school. After I do her work out videos I feel happy, I feel confident, I feel like I am the best person that I can be. And knowing that Cassey the one person who has been there for me, is getting treated like 1% of the amazing person she is, makes me so sad and angry. Cassey, I know I can’t physically be with you and help you, but I want you to know that I am not the only person you helped. You’re not just a good instructor your a great one and a great friend, if I hadn’t of found you, I don’t think I would have ever of found myself. Thank you.
You were the one that inspired me to start working out 5 years ago when I was at my heaviest and unhealthiest. You are literally the best instructor ever!!! Don't stop what you are doing!
Broo they just insecure that they can’t have a transformation like yours! It’s legit then projecting their own insecurities. This is soo normal with everything in life. Don’t care too much about the mean comments focus on us the people that love you and that you help every day! Every day I wake up and do your morning stretch routine and listen to you being soo positive and your voice legit makes my morning and sets my mood for the whole day soo keep being yourself cause for me it’s more than enough and it helps me every single day. From a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹 love you queen 👑
NO WE LOVE YOU EVERYBODY IS GOOD ENOUGH THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “fat” “skinny” “short” “ugly” YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT DONT LET ALL THOSE MEAN THINGS CHANGE YOU❤️❤️
@@gracel5348 they are not real things, they rely on the perspective of the viewer therefore are subjective. The fact that this person starts off with saying we love you, and then follows up with “everybody is good enough” and you say they are the problem? If that is problematic, I don’t want to be anything but problematic. The only person who is part the entire cause of the problem is you; negative people who don’t let others be. You and people like you are too controlling, if anyone treats you the way you treat others then run for the hills because they’re most likely abusive. You can only be fat if you compare yourself to someone smaller. You can only be skinny if you compare yourself to someone bigger. You can only be short if you compare yourself to someone tall. You can only be ugly if you don’t like the way you look. There’s literally no other reason because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you stop comparing yourself and start accepting yourself, instead of being fat or skinny or short or ugly, you simply start being. You simply are. How is being these things subjective? For someone who is 90 lbs, being 180 is fat. However, for someone who is 260 lbs, being 180 is skinny. For someone who is 4’2, being 5’5 is tall but for someone who is 6’7, being 5’5 is short. The fact that these adjectives are based off comparing you to someone else means you could be all of the adjectives in the world. Therefore they don’t really matter.
@@Beanasaurus I can't believe you implied I am abusive and controlling and "not letting others be" because i said being short, fat, skinny, and ugly are real things. Of course they are all comparative but that doesn't mean they aren't real. If you live in a country where most adults are 5'6 then a 5'0 adult is short compared to others. I am 5'5 so if I were 100 lbs. I would be underweight (skinny), if were 150 lbs. I would be overweight (fat). These are real things. Beauty and ugliness is a lot more complicated and subjective because it relies on a lot of different factors and everyone has varying opinions but some people are just ugly to most people. And some people are beautiful to very many people. You can't pretend these things arent real. Why should we have to pretend these things aren't real, we should just accept that they are and that's okay.
The internet is such a toxic place. There are so many people (in your case, thousands of them) who want to project their own insecurities and dissatisfaction onto the people who have found the secret to their own happiness and are doing what they love. It is so modern to judge people and try to bring them down and break them... but you shouldn't let them, Cassey. There are millions of women who are happy because of you. I AM ONE OF THEM. I am still doing the workouts I started because of you 6 years ago and upgrading them with so many of the new ones you are sharing. Whenever I need motivation, I go to the Blogilates website to download a challenge and get in shape again. YOU ARE OUR INSPIRATION! YOU ARE AN AMAZING AND STRONG PERSON! Please don't forget that and focus on us, the people who truly have accomplished what you've set for us - to be happy and loving ourselves and the world. In the meantime, just do you because despite being public, your life is still YOUR LIFE and you are in charge of it - no one has the right to judge you for it. Sharing lots of love with you! 💖
Cassy we love you with ab lines and without about lines...you are really a good instructor...i love how honestly you talked about it and I can relate with you..but now i have found the best version of myself thank you...i always get positive vibes from you...it's really inspiring thank you so much ❤❤
OH HELL NO! Listen. I just found this page yesterday. I had never heard of you before. My coach on Noom sent me some links because I was discouraged that I couldn't get enough exercise in during the pandemic. The very first link was the video of you working out with your sister. I didn't even intend on doing the workout because I was feeling blah today, but the first thirty seconds of the video, the joy you both exuded, inspired me. So I pulled out my mat and did the workout, right then and there. Then I did another one. AND I did a day one portion of another video. I even found myself giggling and laughing right along with you. Me. A sarcastic, sardonic, Aubrey Plaza-esque, RBF monster. But who cares? You genuinely made me smile. Your passion shines through the camera and I caught it girl. You made me feel comfortable, empowered, and most of all, I felt happy. Something in short supply during all this mess. I say all of this as a fat woman that is tired of being tired. I'm tired of the shortness of breath. I'm tired of pretending the confidence and my sass keeps me from feeling hollow in my heart because I know I could be better. Body positivity is one thing, but the focus is on the body and not on the P O S I T I V I T Y. Here's a definition for the trolls. pos·i·tiv·i·ty noun 1. the practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic in attitude. Read it. Meditate on it. And if it still doesn't make sense, just sit quietly all the way over there and eat your food. Cassey, let those haters destroy each other with their yawn inducing tropes. You're a superstar. Signed, A new subscriber A new follower A new fan
YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER. I've been following this woman for more than 5 years, and honestly, like - she is the whole reason I started to LOVE working out. If I couldn't screech and laugh at my TV and my laptop while burning my core, I would be so unhappy. Keep going!!!! and I agree with you!!!!
Been here since I was 13, and I'm almost 21 now. Blogilates changed my life and my view on fitness, and if anyone watched you for longer than 2 videos they'd understand you only want the best for people. I never once thought you were "fat" or "too skinny." People really waste so much energy being bothered by nothing. I've been here 7 years, here's to 7 more.
Women : start body positivity movement Also Women: still shaming other women (like Casey) And starting onlyfans selling porn/raunchy photos on Instagram claiming it’s empowering lol
Wow. I can never understand how persons can jus say things without having any regard for someone’s feelings or personal experiences. You’re the reason I got into fitness back in 2015, and ur the reason, I believe I kept coming back. But u really never know what someone is going thru behind screens, so sorry to hear that u have to deal with this
True fans never look at the way your body looks. They see the encouragement you give during the workouts, the goofiness during your cooking videos. Thd love you show to your students. We may not get to see you in person but we consider you our instructor and us your students. Please continue to show us the confidence in yourself. That's what truly inspires us 💖💖💖
Cassey, honestly I can say that I've never even really processed your body when I watch your videos. You're always so positive and motivational!! Plus, if anyone tries to do your videos, they'll know fitness isn't about looks!! Your workouts are killer and you do them with a smile! Love you Cassey
I am from Colombia and let me tell you that among all the instructors on TH-cam you are the one I choose EVERY time I want to train, because you radiate light, motivation and I like to train with you. Do not stop doing what you are passionate about because of the bad comments of others, do not let them end your dream of being A GOOD INSTRUCTOR, because you already are. YOU ARE MUCH MORE than a perfect body and many of us who train with you know this and value it. You are worth gold.
I am so sorry your mom did that. You are worthy, no matter what weight you are at. You are sooooo much more than a body, it's just skin and bones. It what's on the inside what counts! Love you
That’s so sad your mom told you that 😔 All that matters is that you feel good and you’re happy 💕 weather someone is under or over weight it doesn’t matter. Health And happiness is what matters
I’ll admit I hadn’t been tuning in for a while. I knew you were on your journey but I hadn’t been checking in to see how it was going. When I first saw ur after pics I was like whoa Cassey lost some weight. I never thought that you were too thin nor did I ever feel u were “fat”. I just thought that your looked more toned, tighter in places and lifted. There is nothing wrong with that. With healthy choices things change. Keep ur head up. Be strong.
I have been 312 lbs, I have been 150 lbs, no matter what weight, I am still me, and I love me. You do you. You are wonderful, sweet, kind, talented, inspirational, and HONEST! Working out with you everyday is my spa moment in a very busy life filled with ill parents, quadruplets, a wonderful son, 5 dogs, a cat, and a great husband who has not been well. Without your workout, I might be full out in a facility right now. THank you for what you do.
As a straight Hispanic male: I've followed your content since your early days on TH-cam, mainly because I found your commentary on exercise pain hilarious. Years later after you started with the "body" issues I tuned out for a few years but never unsubscribed, hopeing you would continue to do the happy-funny workouts someday. And yes, I do your workouts as many females like guys with butts and not intimidating as the roided meat heads.
Your mom should be proud of you and if you ever have a baby girl, remember this and teach her NOT to listen to negative comments and to pull away from negative people. Blessings your way 🙏❤️ and 👏👏👏Bravo!!!
😢 Can we all as women, actually human beings, start encouraging & loving on one another, rather than tearing each other down? Ironically being critical/tearing others down is likely a symptom of one’s own hurts and insecurities 🙁 genuinely building up and supporting others will bring you more joy than hateful comments ever will. Thank you for your workouts, hard work, and transparency Cassey ♥️ working out with you is like working out with a genuine friend who wants others to be healthy! Hope you find healing from those childhood wounds and freedom from opinion of others (I can relate) ♥️
It's not that we want to tear her down but her content is NOT healthy for everyone. Imagine all the young people running into her content and thinking it's normal to obsessively calculate everything to be overly thin..not everyone's body is built like hers. She was able to get that lean and small but it's just not realistic...Good for her and her hard work but idk. I don't want to body shame but it just doesn't seem natural..Personally, I'd be happy if could be as physically strong as her. I don't think I would ever want anyone to obsessively track themselves just so they didn't have an ounce of fat. Is no one looking deep inside themselves and wondering WHY the only way they would be happy with their body is if they were that skinny? Yea, do what makes you happy but why is that happiness for you? really wonder why society has made you feel that this is ok. Her transformation scares me.
@@s.a1233 Trolling? I'm being deadass but whatever. Why would I disengage when her recent journey can be potentially harmful to people? I'm not going to just look away. Y'all really don't care about other people, huh? No critical thinking skills. Watch FrumpyFit on TH-cam.
@@mcnutty5108 I'm someone who has struggled with several eating disorders since I was 10 and while I have watched several of her other videos other than what I mainly watch (workouts) I have never felt influenced by her eating choices and dietary experiments. So when I see how people are saying they feel triggered by her content or offer criticism that makes it impossible for her to apply it constructively I'm like... then don't watch these type of videos? 🤷♀️ Honestly, if people have EDs this channel won't be the only source of influence that can be potentially harmful. You see that content and pressure everywhere that's humanly accessible if you are struggling with eating and body image issues. This is a deeper underlying issue that has be addressed with a professional and / or a dietician and it's up to the individual to address it. I don't see Cassey encouraging anyone to do what she does with her dietary experiences to get x results and it would definitely a different story if she did. She's worked hard to be where she is now. Let her enjoy her victory.
@@mcnutty5108 Also I've found the reverse of fat-shaming to be true after I personally experienced it myself. I lost a lot of weight through hard work exercising and eating a lot cleaner, the right way as much as I could. Then I've had people push food at me saying I should eat more because I was "starving myself *winkwink*" or saying that I "could never have been fat because of my genes." I must have been "naturally lean and skinny," right? The latter bothered me more because it was an attempt at invalidating all the hard work I put into making myself the healthiest version I can. I've had people say it must have been just "baby fat." They sure swallowed their words when they saw my old childhood pictures. 😂 I've never been the skinny kid, ever. Some people don't want you to make progress because all of a sudden it makes them realize they don't have an excuse anymore. If you want something badly enough you can obtain it granted you do it in a healthy way.
Cassey, I wanted to apologize for thinking you were “too fat to be a fitness instructor” and saying it online 5 years ago. You were never close to fat and it was all my own insecurities. I thought your personality was fake/over the top and now I wish I could be as positive as you are. I have the same background as you, being made fun of for being fat as a child except it was never from peers, it was my own family. My dad would say I have a double chin in front of my siblings and that enabled nasty comments from them. I completely understand putting your worth in your weight. Luckily I never had a full blown eating disorder but it really sticks with you forever. Edited to add: I will never understand how you promoted eating disorders. You shared cooking videos and what I ate today videos that had healthier/lower calorie alternatives and uploaded exercise videos. These are just suggestions. Every lifestyle/beauty/fitness/food blogger shares what they eat for heavens sake. People would say you shouldn’t give out diet advice like you don’t have common sense. Trust me, if anyone else gave the same advice, they wouldn’t get hate at all. Its also hypocritical to be ok for bikini competitors to document their prep when the journey can be really damaging on the body physically and psychologically while you wanted to document your fruitful journey. I’m glad you aren’t pandering anymore because you’ve been in the fitness scene for 10 years and you’re doing what you love. Keep being you, Cassey 😋
Yeah, thanks for owning up! But- what do you guys mean... it’s not that hard, it’s hard for me not to own up... if I feel bad about something I did I’ll cry and not stop saying sorry
Cassie, I’ve been watching your videos for about 2 years now and I had no clue how similar your early childhood was to me. In 5th grade, I was friends with the popular girls but was constantly made fun of for my clothing, body, and curly hair. I didn’t see my self worth, so I stayed friends with them. You are such an inspiration for me Cassie. All your workouts and your cheerful attitude push me to be a better version of myself. I hope that the positivity shines through the negative. I hope to meet you one day, as you are such an amazing person. Thank you for showing that others opinions don’t matter. Love you!!!
When people cant help themselves, they find it easier to drag others to their own level. Don't let the hate get to you, its really not what you are worth. You have changed my life and so many more! Your work is commendable :)
I don’t know how else to say this but this was refreshing, somehow liberating to me. You put into words the stuff I couldn’t say even in my worst nightmare about myself. You’re so brave And I admire you incredible for the confidence and courage to do this
Seriously I am shocked that women can be so rude with other women. You are so beautiful and keeps me motivated. We all should be thankful for all the work you do for us. I know we can’t ignore these messages, so ppl please don’t say anything if you can’t be nice!
The word that came up to my mind when I was hearing your story of how cruel people can be is "ENVY". People belittle other ones because their self-esteem is extremely low.
I honestly feel I used “body positivity” to justify my unhealthy decisions. Led to me gaining so much weight. Some people need to be held accountable & have a stricter lifestyle!
Many people do this. Me included and it sucks because it ends up damaging us and yet theres these unhealthy influencers preaching super dangerous things like, “healthy at every size” 🤦🏻♀️
watch kiana's video on tess holliday and the HAES movement - it's extensive but eye-opening edit: here's the link!! th-cam.com/video/hlkkG6mKTCk/w-d-xo.html
She doesn’t deserve the hate she gets she is honestly a real raw talent positive person that deserves the world she is so inspiring and our journey to self love is all different and that’s ok as long as she is not hurting anyone or her self let her live her life she is an amazing person that deserves more positive people in her life she help me get into fitness because of her I am in better shape I feel better about my self and my life so instead of bringing her down we should uplift each other 💖🎃💘😁😋
I really admire everything you did... Just ignore everyone who never appreciate what you did for them... We always vote for you... Love you Cassey... 😘🥰
Or she could do what EVERY other influencer does and literally blow it off....shes being immature especially for a woman in her 30s OBSESSING about what others say about her. She's an influencer. Haters come with the job
@@allytedeschi9678 dude not everyone can just blow it off , some of us are naturally sensitive. She didn't ask to be an influencer she just wanted to share her workouts with us . Maybe people should just unsubscribe if they aren't happy with her content
@@evaevercrest2315 then she shouldn't be a social media influencer. Lmfao. U do realize she's posting content. This is HER choice. She does not have to display her body on the internet if she's upset about the critiques. If she can't handle it she should be be on social media. U can't make assholes or haters disappear by making nonstop videos about ir
I'm a teacher, and I've had my fair share of of feeling like I was failing because of the high expectations of parents, administration, and the opinions of others. I always try to focus on something my Mom told me: "If you only reach one kid, it was worth it." You know that you've reached many, many people Cassey. You are kind, genuine and insanely dedicated to what you believe in. Sometimes we have to be candles consuming ourselves to light the way for others. You've been a huge inspiration in my life and I love watching everything you post; it's like having a friend to go to at any hour to work out with. Unfortunately, a lot of people are ignorant and ridiculous. But a lot of other people appreciate you more than you might ever know. We love you! And every single thing that your heart wants to share with us! ❤️ P.S. I have a sister who was shamed for so long about her body that she eventually got breast implants. As someone who loves my sister, my immediate reaction was, "WHY?!?" And that's because, to me, her natural body was who she was! Small boobs, and absolutely, perfectly my sister. I didn't want her any other way!! And it made me terribly sad that she thought she needed to be different. I always thought her body was beautiful, because it was hers. So to all those people shaming you about your butt...well, the real shame is that they have no idea what loving someone really is. It has nothing to do with any of these ridiculous ideals people have of "beauty." When you love someone, then they are beautiful. Period. And you don't want them to feel sad, or ugly, or not good enough. You just want them to be happy in their skin. Whether it means losing weight, gaining weight, getting stronger, getting healthy, taking a break from working out, or whatever! THAT is love. Building others up in any and every stage of life!
Cassey, you are more than just another "influential" fitness instructor... You've played a major MAAAJORRRRRRR role in making me believe in myself and able to achieve the "impossible" as I've had always been an overweight person all my life and have faced all sorts of negative comments and looks from soooo many people which have left a deep deep scar...Following your workout routines and listening to you motivational talks, I started to feel confidence in myself and was able to continue exercising as a part of my routine..I take some breaks in between..due to vacations/mood swings which is only natural..but Cassey...you truly are an amazing teacher who knows how to keep her audience motivated in a positive manner and I love you for this!
I love this video so much. Your voice is powerful. It's wonderful seeing you at peace in your own skin. Those who don't get it ain't part of your tribe. They can go!
You're one of the strongest women alive! Your workouts are absolute killers and you manage to go through them without any sign that you're about to give up. Seriously you have helped us so much. You're beautiful and powerful and we love you a lot!
Seriously though, people, who are so-called 'fans' shaming Cassey just because she wanted to be more confident and get in great shape, are just plain bored and being mean. I mean, if they don't support someone they used to admire anymore just because she did something for HERSELF , got HEALTHIER, and, to remind you, the same Cassey Ho that they love, they shouldn't even watch her content if they don't like it or 'hurting' them, or all they are going to do is ridicule her. Haters, seriously go find something better to do. Go hate on someone who deserves it at least!!
You’re perfect, Cassie! You’ve kept me going during quarantine and I’ve worked out with you every day since March!!! I like what you bring to the table!!
what really matters is how you never quit, like when you're doing a 10 minute arm routine and you never dropped your arms once which is crazy!! You rock Cassey and you're insansely strong, you don't have to look like how everyone expects you to
For the record, you and your Bogilates channel has been my "go-to" fitness channel for the last two years. That is because you are the best exercise instructor I have ever been exposed to and being 67 years old, I have been exposed to many from Jane Fonda to all the rest, but you are definitely the BEST! Your videos are challenging and full of variety. I look forward to working out thanks to you! I can tell you really care about people and it shows in how you motivate us in your videos. Keep up the good work and remember, people are covetous of what you have, an amazing body and positive outlook, and a beautiful life. Enjoy all of it!!!
We live in such messed up times. Like the average woman doesn't necessarily have abs or feel good about their bodies because they're constantly being told that it isn't good enough yet when there WAS an instructor who looked the average woman, people complained until she looked like any other instructor only for people to still complain. It's so frustrating and sad. When did we, as a society, start to think that the only way to be fit or in shape was to have abs? Why do bodies actually go in and out of season and have trends? How freaking toxic is that?! I'm just really sad.
Seriously. How many haters would say what they say if they were standing right in front of her? A screen is no reason to lose your sense of compassion and kindness!
This literally made me cry, Cassie you are inspiration, my idol. You have been all throughout quarantine. I am 15 and hope to be as awesome as you one day, but this made me realize that everyone goes through low points. I have been feeling really bad about myself recently because of school, and my bad grades, the only thing that keeps gong through my mind is that 'I'm not good enough, and I will never be successful'. I am a very positive person and I only ever say these things to myself when i'm alone, because I know there will be no one there to tell me i'm wrong, but I realize now that I am wrong. I keep taking it out on myself, and putting myself down that I've reached an all time low. I have lost all motivation sometimes to even get up out of bed, I keep thinking that if I continue i'm just going to fail and mess up, it's been like this for almost a week now. But I don't give up, 1 because my parents would never allow me to do that and 2 because I know that failure is apart of life, I have to mess up to continue to learn and get better. I've always known that but, I just never tell myself because I feel I should be good at everything I do, I shouldn't fail at anything. But right now, after watching how even you have gone through rough patches, I have a little glimmer of hope to continue being strong and to push through. I need to be patient with myself and calm down. Thank you Cassie, for inspiring me at least.
No one should be hating on you. You are an inspiration for SO many people, including me. Even though I am skinny, I still feel fat. I feel like people will judge me because I don't have a "flat stomach." I feel like we are similar. I feel like my whole world is revolved around what others will think of me. I sometimes don't wear certain shirts because I am scared people will judge. Thx Cassey for being an amazing role model!❤️
I'm not a subscriber of yours, but after watching coach Greg's video about you, I figured I'd come show some support. All those people attacking you are jealous losers and you should hold your head high.
I love your workouts and your energy. People who comment on your body are projecting themselves onto you. Don’t you let them bring you down. Keep doing you!
Casey you’ve always been such a positive mood okie model in my life and during a time where I am struggling with my self worth and body image issues, you’ve again inspired me to look at things in a more positive light without caring about what others think. So much love ❤️ you’re so strong, we’re here to support u 💛
I never comment on any video, but I really feel like telling you that you are an amazing woman and you're the reason why I fell in love with fitness and stuck with it. I've been bullied my whole life for being too skinny, which is just my biotype, I've gotten to the point of eating so much that I'd end up throwing up, just to try and gain weight and be "accepted", people don't realize how hurtful their comments can be. Cassey, if you read this I just want you to know that we love you and we support you in everything you do, you're so strong, both physically and mentally, and I'm grateful for you having the courage to speak out about these issues and inspiring so many of us.
Yes! Say your truth! I hear your pain, but you speak with such grace and honesty. You are noble and I acknowledge your strength. No one can define your worth, and I am proud of you for standing up and speaking out.
Don't pay attention to "toxic" people.. They are miserable with themselves obviously because their judging you and NOT themselves. Perhaps if they did self-examination regularly they wouldn't have time to leave negative comments about you. Ever since I found you in my TH-cam search I have strongly been a loyal Watcher of your videos and just recently got the Blogilates app. I know you're transforming, because I'm transforming! I'm so sorry that your suffering while trying to help others...❤
Being someone who is intensely sensitive myself and always being bothered by others opinions, I must say this journey must have been an act of immense courage and dedication! I know it is easy to say but very difficult to not let people and their stupid,cruel opinions bother you. Sometimes the meanness and lack of sensitivity even astonishes me! It took me a while(still learning) to understand the harsh truth that people don't care about how even the slighest comment made by them can have a long lasting damage to someone's confidence. Hypocrisy and meanness I've realised is a norm rather than exception. So cannot praise you enough for coming out and talking about it.Wishing you more power! And surely I have a lot to learn from you❤️
“My peace looks different than your peace.” THIS 👏🏻 DEAR TOXIC COMMENTERS - Cassey is truly what it means to be body positive. Taking care of your body and loving it enough to go on a journey to get it to its natural best. Body positive is NOT eating junk food everyday, gaining weight, then feeling bad and saying “body positive.” Cassey has gone through so much and is in such a good place now. BE HAPPY FOR THE WOMAN AND CHEER HER ON. YOU ARE NOT BEING BODY POSITIVE BY HATING ON ANOTHER BODY.
This!
Well said Alivia!!
Yessss!!!
Btw I've been watching the glow up diaries and I found it so insparing ^^
You are awesome
Heey !!! I am ur fann right here 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️

Powerful words ✨❤️
That's sad
Thank you. Why can’t ppl just stop with the F labels. God damn
@@victorialiu701 Preach
This honestly sounds like people projecting their own insecurities and lack of self love on someone who is actually doing something about their happiness and body. Been following you for years and every time I get unmotivated, you are the one who brings me back to caring about my health and fitness. Keep up the great work, love you Cassey
Me too! Cassey is always my motivational coach. When I'm feeling really bad about myself I just do at least one video and I feel better. Sometimes just a tiny bit but better! It's like magic and I am so beyond thankful for Cassey's videos.
Here here! 100% this comment.
EXACTLY. 👏👏👏👏
SAME :)
Yup. When we see things in others that we wish we were doing, we sometimes react pretty harshly, and it has nothing to do with the other person. Good comment.
I swear the “body positive” movement has become so toxic. I always took body positive as finding peace with our own bodies and not judging other bodies. Helping each other find a place of happiness. Treating our bodies, our minds and our spirits with respect and respecting that those things look different for each person.
I ❤️ you Casey, you are perfect as you are. I’ll say it is you gain 50 or stay where you are so long as you’re happy.
I feel like every "woke" movement eventaully reaches a place where they cancel and shame people for not being woke enough, even if they started out fighting against shame. It's almost an early stage of maturation. A person first rebels against everything they know before they have more experiences and learn to integrate both sides of an argument and adress real issues from a place of compassion rather than hate. I see it all the time in people who are new to a particular movement.
The problem with the BP movement like many movements that become woke is that they start off with an excellent premise, then the perpetual victims and failures get attached to it and start to make waves because they want the movement to suit them, so they begin to twist the movement around at first with some fluffy loving sounding stuff that at first youre like eh i dont agree with this but i dont see the harm in it, then they keep pushing on that to the point where if you dont agree with their extreeme then YOU are being the mean hateful dangerous thinker
ex. all bodies are beautiful. Surface level thats totally agreeable bc everyone is at a different place in their lives and has different factors, but the idea is just trying to be a little healthier than yesterday. Now, if you dont agree that a 300+ lb morbidly obese woman is "beautiful" then youre an asshole and fat shaming etc and obese is supposedly "normal" or "realistic". It went from dont be a judgmental asshole about people to literally promoting being unhealthy and putting yourself at risk for severe health issues (which they deny basic medicine and say there are none)
Casey literally had women compare weights and guess each others weights,
This goes to prove how people will hate on anything. she’s literally a FREE fitness instructor trying to get us all healthy and happy but still there’s a problem? lol humanity can be such a mess. Don’t tune into these projections Cassie, there’s plenty of us that LOVE AND APPRECIATE you so much! Your workouts and words of encouragement have changed my life and the lives of many others. Ignore the haters, they need to work on themselves, you’re great!
💯
Amen! Great comment!
Reasons why I've stuck with Cassey:
She's a normal human being who is ALSO dying with you while you're kicking your butt.
She makes eating healthy not suck.
She makes me feel good about holding myself accountable.
Are you skinny too? I'm a fat POS myself 🐱💻
Preach girl !
we honestly need more people like you in the world 🥰
then be that person
Yeah, we do!
I'm naturally skinny so whenever I talk about workout or joining gym, people immediately shush me saying that I don't need to workout. Now I keep it a secret.
That's sad. Jzz people need to focus a little bit on themselves. Unwanted opinions most of the time hurt.
@Noora Saleh I totally understand this, cuz I am going thru this exact same thing. It’s so sad and makes me so angry and confused. We can truly never live up to people’s expectations. No matter who they are, cuz we will always disappoint them. We should live truly without anyone telling us how to, and use our own best intuition and research
why you just don't say you do this for health?
@@hzatul9264 its a good question, but the sad thing is that I've already tried. But they don't believe me cuz they are all caught up with the diet culture and fad stuff. I am comfortable with my own body and I don't really care whether or not its the 'beauty standard'. But exercise makes me happy. Yet others don't see it that way because they think that exercise is just some show and is only for losing weight or getting a six pack or something. idrk was to do at this point other than feel try not to care about what others say, but I end up feeling ashamed most of the time. But yeah this is why lol
Same, I want to work out to feel strong, flexible and to have an able body. Whenever I talked to certain friends about it, the first response is ''why do you have to workout, you've been skinny your whole life.'' Don't even let me start on that ''It's easy for you to talk consistency, because you don't have to lose weight.'' I have to be just as disciplined to move my weak ass, as anybody.
The amount of times Cassey has felt the need to explain and defend herself is honestly heartbreaking. She always gives off so much positivity and kindness in her videos. The people who feel the need to attack her probably shouldn’t even be in this space to begin with.
Did people not learn “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all?” or “TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED?!”
What does it cost people to just be KIND to other people? (Sorry rant over! I felt this video)
So right ✅
preach sis
Right?! I think about this everyday. The hardest pill to swallow is that people dont treat you the way you want to be treated and that they think they can be nasty to you.
I was ready for one of these comments to be justifying why they shame her. I was ready to try and reason with stupid. I’m glad to see those people aren’t here.
Just....keep it to yourself!!! Don't say it!!!! 👏👏👏👏
"Do you know what's irresponsible? Diagnosing someone you don't know with an eating disorder."
I wanted to stand up and applause. Folks, Cassey has been nothing but inclusive and welcoming since the beginning.
Cassey, I used your pilates videos every morning when I was going through depression in 2017. Starting my day with your positive attitude and a hit of cardio helped me get through a very hard time in my life. I'm honestly getting a little teared up writing this. You are such an inspiration to me.
Stay gold.
Loved this so much. And kudos to you for sticking to your workout every morning even though you were depressed. I know depression and how hard it becomes to even breathe sometimes. When I had the worst time I could have never been active, but it would have helped me a lot. I know that now.
From Greg’s community to you:You are a circle like the rest of us and we love you. Be the best instructor you can be.
"Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Someone will always be younger.
But they will never be you."
Thank you
"Not an Asian instructor, not a fat instructor, not a female instructor, just a good instructor..." 3:30
I'm sold. Your ARE a good instructor saying these things. Majority nowadays wants to cash in as a [insert race] [insert gender] [insert what you want to be], and I find those to be not genuine.
Keep it up, you're doing an excellent job!
❤️
Wait the video just said that as I was reading this! Also PREACH 👏👏
1000000000000 percent.... Cassey is a good instructor, period. She's helped me so much physically but also mentally and emotionally and to me that's what sets her apart.
Haters can hate all they want, but Cass you’re a Queen!
I just wanted to come here from Greg’s video and say I’m proud of you! This is such an important thing for people on both sides of the coin to hear!
Don’t feel like ur not good enough we love u Cassie!!!!😍😍🥰🥰😘😘
Thank you. Love you too.

@@blogilates Love u so much! Plz don't listen to people that talk negative toward you! God made everyone beautiful, and if they can't see that, then thats their problem. You are beautiful!
When Cassey was heavier, I used to do her workouts because they were so effective - they worked for me and helped me achieve my goals. When Cassey changed, I still do her workouts Bc surprisingly, her workouts are now harder - Cassey has gotten unbelievably stronger. When I see her now, Cassey inspires me to not be afraid of reaching my goals. She was gorgeous then, but now I think she looks so good! I’m like “If I do these workouts, maybe I’ll glow like her” and I DO Glow! I hope Cassey knows that there are people like me out here as well...
@@vivasparkle1367 hmm I actually like those 'easier' videos bc they are more inviting to those who aren't as strong. When Cassey's workouts are too hard, I don't really want to do them on my off days haha you know, cause, period hahaha
I haven't finished this video yet, but oh Cassey I truly want you to see this, so I already write it. You ARE a good instructor. Actually, you are an AMAZING teacher, the best in my opinion. You've succeeded in becoming who you want to be, and just for this.. Congratulations. You are so, so inspiring. I wish I could send you back all the hope, the motivation, the light, positivity and empowerment you've sent me. Thank you so so much, you've changed my life. I discovered you in March and oh.. Truly, thank you. You've helped me so much through my journey of healing from depression and my eating disorder.. I'm still learning, but oh, I'm at the end of the video now, and I love you so much as well Cassey. ❤️💕💕💕
"Do you know how damaging it is to finally heal from something only to be told you're still damaged" yes. I love this.
Dear Cassie
Go back internally and find that little girl you were; who was in so much pain that was seeking to just be loved.
Hug her Cassie because you are her hero.
That was so precious thank you
Now that's sweet! And very true. That's what I've been doing and it helps with the healing journey. The "reason" people think you're not good enough is because they're not feeling good enough. That's their issue and you don't have to take that on.
"You can't compare two people who are incomparable." That is so true! We live in such a selfish culture nowadays that people think the world revolves around them and get offended by the slightest thing. Jealousy is huge too.
When I was in high school, my friends and I would go to each others houses. We would watch your videos, and work out in the living rooms, game rooms and theater rooms. We watched you on a big projector and were so inspired how you always did these workouts with a smile on your face the entire time. We are 21 now and don't see each other all the time but we still send each other your monthly work outs! We love you, and I'm sorry you ever felt that way❤ much love
Wow, I never thought she was FAT when her early videos came out at all. I had mad respect cause her workouts would leave me dead not even half way through!
Also, I'm very glad you're just being you and doing what makes YOU happy.
I had it different with her though, her workouts make me go through the whole vid on how interactive and motivational she is 🥺 I really feel accomplished and want to do more for my body.
Now seeing this vid, no wonder I like her. She can be so genuine. And hearing her being authentic helped a part of me to push further to my own peace.
"The cost of being yourself, is other people's angst about you being yourself." - Whoopi Goldberg
Gotta save this quote 💪🏽✨
Tbh anyone paying that much attention to your body probably isn’t even doing your workouts. The real ones here to get their abs crushed, not judge. How you look doesn’t change the fact that your strong as heck and offer some old the best workouts on the internet. Love you Casey 💕💕💕💕
The fact people thought she was fat before scares me, she literally just didn’t have toned abs
I don’t think she considered herself fat. She obviously had a lot of trauma growing up overweight. All she wanted to do was be in the best physical shape possible for herself. And not feeling like that of course made her strive to want to be better. Nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of yourself possible.
honey bee that’s not what i said
Fat for a fitness instructor, not fat for an average person. She still is fat... for a competitive body builder. "Fat" is such a dirty word now.
@@Esterferreiradecastro I apologize definitely read that wrong!
Awesimo that’s so not the way it works. A person is fat based only on herself and the fact that she has excess fat, not because someone else is more fit. You could say she’s not as muscular as a body builder or not as toned as a fitness instructor, but not fat. Not because that’s a dirty word, simply because its not true.
Here from gregs video. You are gonna get a lot of positive support from hes fam. You are legit, be you and keep encouraging people 🤙
Yes, the doctor is the best
“It gave me myself back” I actually cried oml.
Yup
My eyes watered once I heard that
Me too!
Cassey, I cried watching this.
I started watching you back in 2010 when I hadn't really personally worked out a day in my life. A few days in the gym, but nothing long-term. I was 18 years old and had just lost my father, and my home, and I had no friends left after being consumed by that for the last few years. I was the unhealthiest and unhappiest I have ever been. I remember the next day eating a huge bowl of pasta with my mom because I was starving from your workouts, and laughing with her about it, and I didn't once feel bad because you taught me to love my body and not to treat it badly. I remember laughing made my abs hurt, and I laughed a lot because I felt so good about myself.
You made me fall in love with fitness from my late teens into now my late twenties. I owe it all to you. Now I do all kinds of workouts, but I always come back to you. I may never have taken care of myself, started exercising, quit smoking, or learned to love myself without your guidance when I was looking everywhere for some, and finding only hatred and confusion.
I'm usually a lurker and I never comment on any videos, but I really want you to know how much you mean to me. These people only know hatred and disapproval, and they aim it outwards to people who don't deserve it. Maybe because they are overflowing with it on the inside. Nothing justifies it, and it needs to stop.
You have and always will be better than 'good enough'. You changed my life and continue to, and I've told so many people that. My mom even does your workouts because I've been with you so long. They make her feel great too, and she loves you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always be here. Thank you for always being here for me.
💕💕
this is such a beautiful story. I'm so glad you found Cassey and she gave you the boost of courage and inspiration you needed to take care of YOU. You have a good heart. Thank you for sharing
omg im crying with you tooooo!!!
@@mhwelsh3551 thank you for reading! This is my favourite community 💜
I really loved that you said that you are a sensitive person and thats just how it is. I’m sick of people telling us that we should grow thicker skin, when really the people who spread negativity should own up to their actions. Its not my responsibility how your words make me feel, but you have responsibility for what you say. I love the honest and direct Cassey and I don’t care how you look as long as you promote a healthy and reflected lifestyle.
All this negativity is a projection of their self-hate and jealously, they want you to feel bad for being what they can't. Don't let them get to you and keep doing what you got to do!
Women : start body positivity movement
Also Women: still shaming other women
(like Casey) And starting onlyfans selling porn claiming it’s empowering lol
Yep mhm that’s about right. I agree with you because people should not be responsible for what you should feel, think and decide and it’s theirs not mines. So seeya and I throw them out the window.
Couldn't agree more!
I really needed this because I've been feeling this idea of not being good enough too. It's easy to say to ignore it, but I do care, especially when it comes from those you love. I'm sorry for these comments. But you are such an inspiration for voicing and starting these conversations. You are good enough no matter what you look like or do in life. Keep being you, because you're nothing short but amazing and inspire me to keep doing me too 💖💖
💯
As long as you are healthy, mentally and physically, and happy, that is enough.
But she’s clearly not, because she can’t stop addressing the negativity and how it gets to her.
@@sarab3417 I think it's good that she's being honest with us, though.
@@sarab3417 yeah, because there's TONS of people sending her negativity, and she's only human. it's kinda hard to ignore
The ending where you said you'll be there whenever we need you, made me cry. I was already tearing up listening to you talk about how hard you were on yourself for so long and how folks keep commenting hateful stuff, and the last part broke the dam.
I, and I'm sure most of your subscribers, love you Cassey. I've been following your videos since I was 17 (I'm 26 now) and you ARE the one who made workouts fun for me. It literally always felt like I was working out with a friend!
I am crying again as I read your comment...
Wow, I’ve been following the same amount of time I’m just one year behind you!! I started at 16 and now I’m 25 lol. It’s weird to think about all the people that have grown up doing these workouts together, just separated by distance!
"There will always be someone who can't see your worth, dont let it be you." - Buddhist quote
Cassey, you're trying to convince the wrong person. Secure your happiness from within and run with it 💗
I can't remember where I heard this but whenever I feel like people are judging me I say 'not everyone has good taste' in my head over and over again until I believe it xx
That’s pretty cool! Maybe I’ll use it. I am used to say in my head “look at me all you want cause I know I am fabulous “ haha for real that gives me a lot of courage too.
That's because it's true. Social media has manufactured garbage people and so these garbage people want other garbage people because they look good on the outside. My pearls will not be thrown before swine.
👏👏👏
That is such good advice!!
I can see the pain in your eyes which breaks my heart.. but just know that people push their insecurities onto other people..which says more about them. I can tell you have a pure heart and are very strong! When we start living for ourselves we become unstoppable :) keep going and never stop because of what other people think.
Other people's opinions don't matter. Middle school was the worst.
It's worse now with IG and shit. It's grade school/high school rolled into one big fuckery.
One of my favourite quotes is "other people's opinions of you are none of your business."
6th grade was brutal.
@@blogilates yes it was :(
You’re right Middle School was the worst 😞
I'm just surprised someone could actually dislike Cassy
yeah, me too
Same ♥️😭
Same tbh. She is so nice and I would never understand how someone could hate on her. She promotes healthy wellbeing and has helped me a lot not only physically but mentally, too. She's made me so happy.
It’s sad people assume exercise should be done to fit into whatever the “perfect” body of the moment is, rather than to be HAPPY and HEALTHY. So glad you continued listening to your heart regardless of what external expectations asked you to do. Thanks for sharing.
Exercise is for everyone ❤
Choosing your trainer based on their bodies is like choosing your dentist based on her/ his smile. No logic.
Cassey you are AMAZING 💗 we love u so much!
factsss that's a great analogy!!!
I do disagree with this to an extent. A lot of people do pick their trainers based on their bodies, as a motivational type thing? Like picking a muscley trainer because you want to look like them. It DOES work as motivation for some people. Not my personal cup of tea, I just want someone who makes sure I know what I'm doing and I work hard. But it's not really the same as picking a dentist based on their smile. Ya know?
Would you choose a morbidly obese nutritionist?
@@monp.4903 Cassey is not morbidly obese! Just because she doesn't have a six-pack doesn't mean she doesn't know what she's doing!
@@sparkle0859 Mon. P wasn't saying that Cassey is morbidly obese.
I cried so many times watching this video, because Cassey is the one person I look forward to see after school. After I do her work out videos I feel happy, I feel confident, I feel like I am the best person that I can be. And knowing that Cassey the one person who has been there for me, is getting treated like 1% of the amazing person she is, makes me so sad and angry.
Cassey, I know I can’t physically be with you and help you, but I want you to know that I am not the only person you helped. You’re not just a good instructor your a great one and a great friend, if I hadn’t of found you, I don’t think I would have ever of found myself.
Thank you.
You were the one that inspired me to start working out 5 years ago when I was at my heaviest and unhealthiest. You are literally the best instructor ever!!! Don't stop what you are doing!
Broo they just insecure that they can’t have a transformation like yours! It’s legit then projecting their own insecurities. This is soo normal with everything in life. Don’t care too much about the mean comments focus on us the people that love you and that you help every day! Every day I wake up and do your morning stretch routine and listen to you being soo positive and your voice legit makes my morning and sets my mood for the whole day soo keep being yourself cause for me it’s more than enough and it helps me every single day. From a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹 love you queen 👑
NO WE LOVE YOU
EVERYBODY IS GOOD ENOUGH
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS
“fat”
“skinny”
“short”
“ugly”
YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT DONT LET ALL THOSE MEAN THINGS CHANGE YOU❤️❤️
You are perfection❤️
Those are real things😂 theyre just adjectives you're part of of the problem for not realizing that a lot of people are those things and that's OKAY
@@gracel5348 they are not real things, they rely on the perspective of the viewer therefore are subjective.
The fact that this person starts off with saying we love you, and then follows up with “everybody is good enough” and you say they are the problem? If that is problematic, I don’t want to be anything but problematic. The only person who is part the entire cause of the problem is you; negative people who don’t let others be. You and people like you are too controlling, if anyone treats you the way you treat others then run for the hills because they’re most likely abusive.
You can only be fat if you compare yourself to someone smaller.
You can only be skinny if you compare yourself to someone bigger.
You can only be short if you compare yourself to someone tall.
You can only be ugly if you don’t like the way you look. There’s literally no other reason because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If you stop comparing yourself and start accepting yourself, instead of being fat or skinny or short or ugly, you simply start being. You simply are.
How is being these things subjective? For someone who is 90 lbs, being 180 is fat. However, for someone who is 260 lbs, being 180 is skinny. For someone who is 4’2, being 5’5 is tall but for someone who is 6’7, being 5’5 is short.
The fact that these adjectives are based off comparing you to someone else means you could be all of the adjectives in the world. Therefore they don’t really matter.
@@Beanasaurus I can't believe you implied I am abusive and controlling and "not letting others be" because i said being short, fat, skinny, and ugly are real things. Of course they are all comparative but that doesn't mean they aren't real. If you live in a country where most adults are 5'6 then a 5'0 adult is short compared to others. I am 5'5 so if I were 100 lbs. I would be underweight (skinny), if were 150 lbs. I would be overweight (fat). These are real things. Beauty and ugliness is a lot more complicated and subjective because it relies on a lot of different factors and everyone has varying opinions but some people are just ugly to most people. And some people are beautiful to very many people. You can't pretend these things arent real. Why should we have to pretend these things aren't real, we should just accept that they are and that's okay.
The internet is such a toxic place. There are so many people (in your case, thousands of them) who want to project their own insecurities and dissatisfaction onto the people who have found the secret to their own happiness and are doing what they love. It is so modern to judge people and try to bring them down and break them... but you shouldn't let them, Cassey. There are millions of women who are happy because of you. I AM ONE OF THEM. I am still doing the workouts I started because of you 6 years ago and upgrading them with so many of the new ones you are sharing. Whenever I need motivation, I go to the Blogilates website to download a challenge and get in shape again.
YOU ARE OUR INSPIRATION! YOU ARE AN AMAZING AND STRONG PERSON! Please don't forget that and focus on us, the people who truly have accomplished what you've set for us - to be happy and loving ourselves and the world. In the meantime, just do you because despite being public, your life is still YOUR LIFE and you are in charge of it - no one has the right to judge you for it. Sharing lots of love with you! 💖
Cassy we love you with ab lines and without about lines...you are really a good instructor...i love how honestly you talked about it and I can relate with you..but now i have found the best version of myself thank you...i always get positive vibes from you...it's really inspiring thank you so much ❤❤
OH HELL NO!
Listen. I just found this page yesterday. I had never heard of you before. My coach on Noom sent me some links because I was discouraged that I couldn't get enough exercise in during the pandemic. The very first link was the video of you working out with your sister. I didn't even intend on doing the workout because I was feeling blah today, but the first thirty seconds of the video, the joy you both exuded, inspired me. So I pulled out my mat and did the workout, right then and there. Then I did another one. AND I did a day one portion of another video. I even found myself giggling and laughing right along with you.
Me.
A sarcastic, sardonic, Aubrey Plaza-esque, RBF monster. But who cares? You genuinely made me smile. Your passion shines through the camera and I caught it girl. You made me feel comfortable, empowered, and most of all, I felt happy. Something in short supply during all this mess. I say all of this as a fat woman that is tired of being tired. I'm tired of the shortness of breath. I'm tired of pretending the confidence and my sass keeps me from feeling hollow in my heart because I know I could be better.
Body positivity is one thing, but the focus is on the body and not on the P O S I T I V I T Y.
Here's a definition for the trolls.
pos·i·tiv·i·ty
noun
1.
the practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic in attitude.
Read it. Meditate on it. And if it still doesn't make sense, just sit quietly all the way over there and eat your food. Cassey, let those haters destroy each other with their yawn inducing tropes. You're a superstar.

YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER. I've been following this woman for more than 5 years, and honestly, like - she is the whole reason I started to LOVE working out. If I couldn't screech and laugh at my TV and my laptop while burning my core, I would be so unhappy. Keep going!!!! and I agree with you!!!!
This!
Been here since I was 13, and I'm almost 21 now. Blogilates changed my life and my view on fitness, and if anyone watched you for longer than 2 videos they'd understand you only want the best for people. I never once thought you were "fat" or "too skinny." People really waste so much energy being bothered by nothing. I've been here 7 years, here's to 7 more.
Women : start body positivity movement
Also Women: still shaming other women
(like Casey) And starting onlyfans selling porn/raunchy photos on Instagram claiming it’s empowering lol
Wow. I can never understand how persons can jus say things without having any regard for someone’s feelings or personal experiences. You’re the reason I got into fitness back in 2015, and ur the reason, I believe I kept coming back. But u really never know what someone is going thru behind screens, so sorry to hear that u have to deal with this
True fans never look at the way your body looks. They see the encouragement you give during the workouts, the goofiness during your cooking videos. Thd love you show to your students. We may not get to see you in person but we consider you our instructor and us your students. Please continue to show us the confidence in yourself. That's what truly inspires us 💖💖💖
this breaks my heart, you don’t deserve this! you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are!!
Cassey, honestly I can say that I've never even really processed your body when I watch your videos. You're always so positive and motivational!! Plus, if anyone tries to do your videos, they'll know fitness isn't about looks!! Your workouts are killer and you do them with a smile! Love you Cassey
@@primadonna4062 yeah same when I'm doing a workout I'm usually too tired to care about how the person's body looks lmao
I am from Colombia and let me tell you that among all the instructors on TH-cam you are the one I choose EVERY time I want to train, because you radiate light, motivation and I like to train with you. Do not stop doing what you are passionate about because of the bad comments of others, do not let them end your dream of being A GOOD INSTRUCTOR, because you already are. YOU ARE MUCH MORE than a perfect body and many of us who train with you know this and value it. You are worth gold.
Came here from Coach Greg's video and only thing I can say is - girl, preach! You just GAINED a subscriber.
Cassey: was bullied by kids for being overweight
Me: was bullied by my mom for being overweight😭😭😭
What I’ve learned is you can’t please everyone. 😔
I am so sorry your mom did that. You are worthy, no matter what weight you are at. You are sooooo much more than a body, it's just skin and bones. It what's on the inside what counts! Love you
My mom did that too 😞
That’s so sad your mom told you that 😔
All that matters is that you feel good and you’re happy 💕 weather someone is under or over weight it doesn’t matter. Health And happiness is what matters
Physic doesn't decide who you are...be you reject negativity
People are gonna find something negative to say no matter what choice you make or what you do so do what makes you happy
Everyone who dislikes this video is a monster. It’s ok to not like a person but don’t say it in their faces like you wouldn’t do in real life. Ok
everyone how hates on the intrenet is weak and inscure they are not brave enough there so so weak and disgusting
@@samehdoll u are so right:3
💯
@@samehdoll Yeah. They’re only bold hiding behind their mommies' keyboards.
thats stupid lmfao the dislike button is there for a reason stop being a crybaby
I’ll admit I hadn’t been tuning in for a while. I knew you were on your journey but I hadn’t been checking in to see how it was going. When I first saw ur after pics I was like whoa Cassey lost some weight. I never thought that you were too thin nor did I ever feel u were “fat”. I just thought that your looked more toned, tighter in places and lifted. There is nothing wrong with that. With healthy choices things change. Keep ur head up. Be strong.
I have been 312 lbs, I have been 150 lbs, no matter what weight, I am still me, and I love me. You do you. You are wonderful, sweet, kind, talented, inspirational, and HONEST! Working out with you everyday is my spa moment in a very busy life filled with ill parents, quadruplets, a wonderful son, 5 dogs, a cat, and a great husband who has not been well. Without your workout, I might be full out in a facility right now. THank you for what you do.
As a straight Hispanic male: I've followed your content since your early days on TH-cam, mainly because I found your commentary on exercise pain hilarious. Years later after you started with the "body" issues I tuned out for a few years but never unsubscribed, hopeing you would continue to do the happy-funny workouts someday. And yes, I do your workouts as many females like guys with butts and not intimidating as the roided meat heads.
She is back with fun and joyful workouts. 😉
Your mom should be proud of you and if you ever have a baby girl, remember this and teach her NOT to listen to negative comments and to pull away from negative people. Blessings your way 🙏❤️ and 👏👏👏Bravo!!!
😢 Can we all as women, actually human beings, start encouraging & loving on one another, rather than tearing each other down?
Ironically being critical/tearing others down is likely a symptom of one’s own hurts and insecurities 🙁 genuinely building up and supporting others will bring you more joy than hateful comments ever will.
Thank you for your workouts, hard work, and transparency Cassey ♥️ working out with you is like working out with a genuine friend who wants others to be healthy! Hope you find healing from those childhood wounds and freedom from opinion of others (I can relate) ♥️
It's not that we want to tear her down but her content is NOT healthy for everyone. Imagine all the young people running into her content and thinking it's
normal to obsessively calculate everything to be overly thin..not everyone's body is built like hers. She was able to get that lean and small but it's just not realistic...Good for her and her hard work but idk. I don't want to body shame but it just doesn't seem natural..Personally, I'd be happy if could be as physically strong as her. I don't think I would ever want anyone to obsessively track themselves just so they didn't have an ounce of fat.
Is no one looking deep inside themselves and wondering WHY the only way they would be happy with their body is if they were that skinny? Yea, do what makes you happy but why is that happiness for you? really wonder why society has made you feel that this is ok. Her transformation scares me.
@@mcnutty5108 Than maybe you should disengage with this platform because you seem to be concern trolling for no reason.
@@s.a1233 Trolling? I'm being deadass but whatever. Why would I disengage when her recent journey can be potentially harmful to people? I'm not going to just look away. Y'all really don't care about other people, huh? No critical thinking skills. Watch FrumpyFit on TH-cam.
@@mcnutty5108 I'm someone who has struggled with several eating disorders since I was 10 and while I have watched several of her other videos other than what I mainly watch (workouts) I have never felt influenced by her eating choices and dietary experiments. So when I see how people are saying they feel triggered by her content or offer criticism that makes it impossible for her to apply it constructively I'm like... then don't watch these type of videos? 🤷♀️ Honestly, if people have EDs this channel won't be the only source of influence that can be potentially harmful. You see that content and pressure everywhere that's humanly accessible if you are struggling with eating and body image issues. This is a deeper underlying issue that has be addressed with a professional and / or a dietician and it's up to the individual to address it. I don't see Cassey encouraging anyone to do what she does with her dietary experiences to get x results and it would definitely a different story if she did. She's worked hard to be where she is now. Let her enjoy her victory.
@@mcnutty5108 Also I've found the reverse of fat-shaming to be true after I personally experienced it myself. I lost a lot of weight through hard work exercising and eating a lot cleaner, the right way as much as I could. Then I've had people push food at me saying I should eat more because I was "starving myself *winkwink*" or saying that I "could never have been fat because of my genes." I must have been "naturally lean and skinny," right? The latter bothered me more because it was an attempt at invalidating all the hard work I put into making myself the healthiest version I can. I've had people say it must have been just "baby fat." They sure swallowed their words when they saw my old childhood pictures. 😂 I've never been the skinny kid, ever. Some people don't want you to make progress because all of a sudden it makes them realize they don't have an excuse anymore. If you want something badly enough you can obtain it granted you do it in a healthy way.
Cassey, I wanted to apologize for thinking you were “too fat to be a fitness instructor” and saying it online 5 years ago. You were never close to fat and it was all my own insecurities. I thought your personality was fake/over the top and now I wish I could be as positive as you are. I have the same background as you, being made fun of for being fat as a child except it was never from peers, it was my own family. My dad would say I have a double chin in front of my siblings and that enabled nasty comments from them. I completely understand putting your worth in your weight. Luckily I never had a full blown eating disorder but it really sticks with you forever.
Edited to add: I will never understand how you promoted eating disorders. You shared cooking videos and what I ate today videos that had healthier/lower calorie alternatives and uploaded exercise videos. These are just suggestions. Every lifestyle/beauty/fitness/food blogger shares what they eat for heavens sake. People would say you shouldn’t give out diet advice like you don’t have common sense. Trust me, if anyone else gave the same advice, they wouldn’t get hate at all. Its also hypocritical to be ok for bikini competitors to document their prep when the journey can be really damaging on the body physically and psychologically while you wanted to document your fruitful journey. I’m glad you aren’t pandering anymore because you’ve been in the fitness scene for 10 years and you’re doing what you love. Keep being you, Cassey 😋
You’re a good human for owning your mistakes and apologizing to her ❤️
You are so brave! It’s very hard to own up, VERY HARD.
Yeah, thanks for owning up!
But- what do you guys mean... it’s not that hard, it’s hard for me not to own up... if I feel bad about something I did I’ll cry and not stop saying sorry
Never accept criticism from someone you would not go to for advice.
Cassie,
I’ve been watching your videos for about 2 years now and I had no clue how similar your early childhood was to me. In 5th grade, I was friends with the popular girls but was constantly made fun of for my clothing, body, and curly hair. I didn’t see my self worth, so I stayed friends with them.
You are such an inspiration for me Cassie. All your workouts and your cheerful attitude push me to be a better version of myself. I hope that the positivity shines through the negative.
I hope to meet you one day, as you are such an amazing person. Thank you for showing that others opinions don’t matter.
Love you!!!
When people cant help themselves, they find it easier to drag others to their own level. Don't let the hate get to you, its really not what you are worth. You have changed my life and so many more! Your work is commendable :)
I came for the the fitness instructions and stayed for the wonderful, inspiring person each workout featured ♡
Glad that you’ve awakened finally, who care other people’s thoughts but ourselves! You are the best ☺️
I love that my entire health and fitness journey from 2012 to now was with your videos, book, newsletters etc included 😊❤ Thank you Cassey!!
Thank you for being with me!!
I don’t know how else to say this but this was refreshing, somehow liberating to me. You put into words the stuff I couldn’t say even in my worst nightmare about myself. You’re so brave And I admire you incredible for the confidence and courage to do this

I thought that was a dr. Seuss quote....I am confusion. Who is Bernard M. Baruch and did Dr. Seuss steak/borrow this quote from him or vice versa?
Seriously I am shocked that women can be so rude with other women. You are so beautiful and keeps me motivated. We all should be thankful for all the work you do for us. I know we can’t ignore these messages, so ppl please don’t say anything if you can’t be nice!
The word that came up to my mind when I was hearing your story of how cruel people can be is "ENVY". People belittle other ones because their self-esteem is extremely low.
I honestly feel I used “body positivity” to justify my unhealthy decisions. Led to me gaining so much weight. Some people need to be held accountable & have a stricter lifestyle!
“body positivity” brainwashed me too girl. Now I am miserable
Same with me(
Many people do this. Me included and it sucks because it ends up damaging us and yet theres these unhealthy influencers preaching super dangerous things like, “healthy at every size” 🤦🏻♀️

She doesn’t deserve the hate she gets she is honestly a real raw talent positive person that deserves the world she is so inspiring and our journey to self love is all different and that’s ok as long as she is not hurting anyone or her self let her live her life she is an amazing person that deserves more positive people in her life she help me get into fitness because of her I am in better shape I feel better about my self and my life so instead of bringing her down we should uplift each other 💖🎃💘😁😋
True
I really admire everything you did... Just ignore everyone who never appreciate what you did for them... We always vote for you... Love you Cassey... 😘🥰
I hate that Cassey has to keep defending herself like this. Like why can’t people just let her be happy and do what she loves?
Right ? There's so many videos I've seen that she has to defend herself ! I love her content and advice
Or she could do what EVERY other influencer does and literally blow it off....shes being immature especially for a woman in her 30s OBSESSING about what others say about her. She's an influencer. Haters come with the job
@@allytedeschi9678 dude not everyone can just blow it off , some of us are naturally sensitive. She didn't ask to be an influencer she just wanted to share her workouts with us . Maybe people should just unsubscribe if they aren't happy with her content
@@evaevercrest2315 then she shouldn't be a social media influencer. Lmfao. U do realize she's posting content. This is HER choice. She does not have to display her body on the internet if she's upset about the critiques. If she can't handle it she should be be on social media. U can't make assholes or haters disappear by making nonstop videos about ir
@@evaevercrest2315 this is her career it is ABSOLUTELY a choice. She can stop at anytime and do something else if she doesn't like it
I'm a teacher, and I've had my fair share of of feeling like I was failing because of the high expectations of parents, administration, and the opinions of others. I always try to focus on something my Mom told me: "If you only reach one kid, it was worth it." You know that you've reached many, many people Cassey. You are kind, genuine and insanely dedicated to what you believe in. Sometimes we have to be candles consuming ourselves to light the way for others. You've been a huge inspiration in my life and I love watching everything you post; it's like having a friend to go to at any hour to work out with. Unfortunately, a lot of people are ignorant and ridiculous. But a lot of other people appreciate you more than you might ever know. We love you! And every single thing that your heart wants to share with us! ❤️
P.S. I have a sister who was shamed for so long about her body that she eventually got breast implants. As someone who loves my sister, my immediate reaction was, "WHY?!?" And that's because, to me, her natural body was who she was! Small boobs, and absolutely, perfectly my sister. I didn't want her any other way!! And it made me terribly sad that she thought she needed to be different. I always thought her body was beautiful, because it was hers.
So to all those people shaming you about your butt...well, the real shame is that they have no idea what loving someone really is. It has nothing to do with any of these ridiculous ideals people have of "beauty." When you love someone, then they are beautiful. Period. And you don't want them to feel sad, or ugly, or not good enough. You just want them to be happy in their skin. Whether it means losing weight, gaining weight, getting stronger, getting healthy, taking a break from working out, or whatever! THAT is love. Building others up in any and every stage of life!
Thiss💕
Cassey, you are more than just another "influential" fitness instructor... You've played a major MAAAJORRRRRRR role in making me believe in myself and able to achieve the "impossible" as I've had always been an overweight person all my life and have faced all sorts of negative comments and looks from soooo many people which have left a deep deep scar...Following your workout routines and listening to you motivational talks, I started to feel confidence in myself and was able to continue exercising as a part of my routine..I take some breaks in between..due to vacations/mood swings which is only natural..but Cassey...you truly are an amazing teacher who knows how to keep her audience motivated in a positive manner and I love you for this!
I love this video so much. Your voice is powerful. It's wonderful seeing you at peace in your own skin. Those who don't get it ain't part of your tribe. They can go!
You're one of the strongest women alive! Your workouts are absolute killers and you manage to go through them without any sign that you're about to give up. Seriously you have helped us so much. You're beautiful and powerful and we love you a lot!
Seriously though, people, who are so-called 'fans' shaming Cassey just because she wanted to be more confident and get in great shape, are just plain bored and being mean. I mean, if they don't support someone they used to admire anymore just because she did something for HERSELF , got HEALTHIER, and, to remind you, the same Cassey Ho that they love, they shouldn't even watch her content if they don't like it or 'hurting' them, or all they are going to do is ridicule her. Haters, seriously go find something better to do. Go hate on someone who deserves it at least!!
You’re perfect, Cassie! You’ve kept me going during quarantine and I’ve worked out with you every day since March!!! I like what you bring to the table!!
I have never watched any of your videos but hearing all of that makes me happy that you've found your way. YOU GO GIRL!
what really matters is how you never quit, like when you're doing a 10 minute arm routine and you never dropped your arms once which is crazy!! You rock Cassey and you're insansely strong, you don't have to look like how everyone expects you to
I second this, I was whimpering at that point 😂😂😂
For the record, you and your Bogilates channel has been my "go-to" fitness channel for the last two years. That is because you are the best exercise instructor I have ever been exposed to and being 67 years old, I have been exposed to many from Jane Fonda to all the rest, but you are definitely the BEST! Your videos are challenging and full of variety. I look forward to working out thanks to you! I can tell you really care about people and it shows in how you motivate us in your videos. Keep up the good work and remember, people are covetous of what you have, an amazing body and positive outlook, and a beautiful life. Enjoy all of it!!!
We live in such messed up times. Like the average woman doesn't necessarily have abs or feel good about their bodies because they're constantly being told that it isn't good enough yet when there WAS an instructor who looked the average woman, people complained until she looked like any other instructor only for people to still complain. It's so frustrating and sad.
When did we, as a society, start to think that the only way to be fit or in shape was to have abs? Why do bodies actually go in and out of season and have trends? How freaking toxic is that?!
I'm just really sad.
I also feel like Cassey has always had a killer body, at her skinniest and her heaviest, I always think she's fit, positive, fun, and gorgeous.
Cassie, you are good enough!!! In fact you are even BETTER than “good enough”. Stay strong!!! U r amazing girl 💜
Some people are just straight up arse holes, especially when they have a keyboard to hide behind. You do you! You're amazing!
Seriously. How many haters would say what they say if they were standing right in front of her? A screen is no reason to lose your sense of compassion and kindness!
Its funny because most trolls don't have a profile pic so you can't even see their face.
@@NovaDoll that's so true! I didn't even think of that
This literally made me cry, Cassie you are inspiration, my idol. You have been all throughout quarantine. I am 15 and hope to be as awesome as you one day, but this made me realize that everyone goes through low points. I have been feeling really bad about myself recently because of school, and my bad grades, the only thing that keeps gong through my mind is that 'I'm not good enough, and I will never be successful'. I am a very positive person and I only ever say these things to myself when i'm alone, because I know there will be no one there to tell me i'm wrong, but I realize now that I am wrong. I keep taking it out on myself, and putting myself down that I've reached an all time low. I have lost all motivation sometimes to even get up out of bed, I keep thinking that if I continue i'm just going to fail and mess up, it's been like this for almost a week now.
But I don't give up, 1 because my parents would never allow me to do that and 2 because I know that failure is apart of life, I have to mess up to continue to learn and get better. I've always known that but, I just never tell myself because I feel I should be good at everything I do, I shouldn't fail at anything. But right now, after watching how even you have gone through rough patches, I have a little glimmer of hope to continue being strong and to push through. I need to be patient with myself and calm down.
Thank you Cassie, for inspiring me at least.
No one should be hating on you. You are an inspiration for SO many people, including me. Even though I am skinny, I still feel fat. I feel like people will judge me because I don't have a "flat stomach." I feel like we are similar. I feel like my whole world is revolved around what others will think of me. I sometimes don't wear certain shirts because I am scared people will judge. Thx Cassey for being an amazing role model!❤️
I'm not a subscriber of yours, but after watching coach Greg's video about you, I figured I'd come show some support. All those people attacking you are jealous losers and you should hold your head high.
I love your workouts and your energy. People who comment on your body are projecting themselves onto you. Don’t you let them bring you down. Keep doing you!
Casey you’ve always been such a positive mood okie model in my life and during a time where I am struggling with my self worth and body image issues, you’ve again inspired me to look at things in a more positive light without caring about what others think. So much love ❤️ you’re so strong, we’re here to support u 💛
I never comment on any video, but I really feel like telling you that you are an amazing woman and you're the reason why I fell in love with fitness and stuck with it. I've been bullied my whole life for being too skinny, which is just my biotype, I've gotten to the point of eating so much that I'd end up throwing up, just to try and gain weight and be "accepted", people don't realize how hurtful their comments can be. Cassey, if you read this I just want you to know that we love you and we support you in everything you do, you're so strong, both physically and mentally, and I'm grateful for you having the courage to speak out about these issues and inspiring so many of us.
Yes! Say your truth! I hear your pain, but you speak with such grace and honesty. You are noble and I acknowledge your strength. No one can define your worth, and I am proud of you for standing up and speaking out.
People need to stop skinny-shaming others. This is PATHETIC
Don't pay attention to "toxic" people..
They are miserable with themselves obviously because their judging you and NOT themselves. Perhaps if they did self-examination regularly they wouldn't have time to leave negative comments about you. Ever since I found you in my TH-cam search I have strongly been a loyal Watcher of your videos and just recently got the Blogilates app. I know you're transforming, because I'm transforming! I'm so sorry that your suffering while trying to help others...❤

Being someone who is intensely sensitive myself and always being bothered by others opinions, I must say this journey must have been an act of immense courage and dedication! I know it is easy to say but very difficult to not let people and their stupid,cruel opinions bother you. Sometimes the meanness and lack of sensitivity even astonishes me! It took me a while(still learning) to understand the harsh truth that people don't care about how even the slighest comment made by them can have a long lasting damage to someone's confidence. Hypocrisy and meanness I've realised is a norm rather than exception. So cannot praise you enough for coming out and talking about it.Wishing you more power! And surely I have a lot to learn from you❤️
