    My husband who is super fit and loves the gym has giggled at me for years as I only do UA-cam work outs. He would walk by and mock me as I'm doing the work out and shake his head at the trainer. Yesterday I was doing one of your workouts (have been for months now) and he actually stopped what he was doing and joined me. He was a sweaty mess at the end. He was so impressed with the workout and the minimalist format and set up. He asked all kinds of questions about you and I had him watch this video and he's even more impressed with your honesty and realness. And it's FREE, with no ads, you clearly love what you do. Thank you.

      Which workout have you been doing? I think that some men have issues with their own body image or low self worth because they don’t have a lot of muscles. A guy said to me that I just can do pull ups because i am thin. That was mean because I put a lot of effort in learning this skill.

    Honestly she is the best fitness guru out there because she keeps it real and straight forward with honest information. She’s not another insta girl posting “gEt A bIgGeR bUtT iN tHrEe DaYs” or the false advertising from male wanna be gurus that really don’t share in depth workouts, or they can’t post a video without a thousand ads. When I discovered Caroline and saw how incredibly strong and built she is I knew straight away she was the trainer I needed. I had been following Chloe Ting, and I don’t want to throw shade because Chloe’s workouts are fine for moderate training. But I just wasn’t seeing results despite my best efforts. Caroline is easy to follow, I find myself getting my form better, and I feel it the next day. Not to mention the great results followed with a simple clean diet plan. Thanks to her I have more endurance on my long hikes as well. I’m hoping to also get a new indoor bike that I can incorporate into my daily Epic workouts that Caroline shares with us. She also has a great personality and a very professional approach to what she does. No fakeness, no false claims or promises. And unlike a lot of workout videos it doesn’t feel repetitive! That’s what really sets her channel apart. I hate doing the same moves over nonstop, Caroline changes it up and keeps it interesting! The workouts are not a drag by any means. They’re fun and intense and I enjoy them

    Women, train...show your daughters that food is a friend not the enemy, as long as you are exercising. I eat in the same way as Caroline too. Here’s what I changed to get rid of my flabby thighs/skinny fat... A subscriber on another channel suggested I try intermittent fasting 18/6 to get rid of the pear shape. It has totally worked along with consistent training and adding weights my lower body is looking the best it’s ever looked. I’m amazed. Wow, the difference in my body is epic. I’m so much stronger, fitter, my stamina and endurance and running has improved ten fold, thanks to Caroline.
    One thing, I have become scared to not train and I’ve had to give myself a talking to.
    I love Caroline’s workouts.
    Nice to meet you Caroline!

    My new Covid body is thanks to you! I'm 58 and have struggled with my weight all of my life even though I've always worked out. The intense leg segments of the dumbbell workouts have been a game-changer for me. My metabolism has increased with the increased leg and glute muscles and my shoulders have changed shape from rounded to more square (purse straps no longer fall off my shoulder). I walk and ride my bike for cardio and do your workouts at least 3 or 4x/week. PS: I had a feeling that was an Irish accent.

    I’ve been searching around for the right fitness UA-camr that fits me and I’ve finally found the right fit! I appreciate that you steer away from the get fit in a week crap and your thumbnails aren’t positioned to make your butt look as big as possible. You seem authentic. I’m excited to complete the 10 week program! Thank you!

    You are SUCH a lovely person and such an inspiration! And one of the things I most appreciate is your statement about how one cannot honestly say "Burn belly fat in two weeks!" There is too little discussion of the importance of diet and lifestyle factors in ridding oneself of belly fat or thigh fat in the majority of online presentations. There is so much fakery out there! Thank you for doing this Q&A!🙏❤
