This is my first time working out with Gideon Akande, and can I just say I love this man. He made me feel like I was there physically with them. His tone and attitude made me feel really good. Gideon and Ranier Pollard are both my favorite gym trainers. I hope I can see more of Gideon!!!

Thank you for featuring someone with a bigger body! Also for including modifications. It's very motivating to see someone with a similar body type to mine do the workouts, it makes me feel like I can do it, too!

Awesome work out. I will make this work out my morning routine change! Love it how Gideon doesn’t make you want to hurry but to listen to your body and give your best instead. ❤️

Love Gideon's motivation and his voice is soothing to me. Does he remind anyone else of LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow? Great workout. I really pushed myself and followed Hans the entire time.

[katherinerice]

I always love Gideon's workouts and especially this one because it gives options to modify or challenge as needed. Love the constant encouragement as well. I am proud to be an "athlete" on #TeamGiddy!
