Does anyone else cry during workouts? Seriously, weeping out the grief. It's usually when Sydney reminds me I am strong and to LIVE my day. ❤️

[johnrhodes]

Sydney's Daily Wisdom (44:29): "This is your life. You have the control of your potential. Live out your life today. Don't just get through the day. Live your day." (36:08) "You're gonna surprise yourself with what you get through when you just say, 'I can't stop.'" Amazing, motivating workout from my favorite trainer on earth! Let's go crush this day.

Guys, that first circuit .... YOWZA. I thought “ok she’s getting the toughest stuff done first thing.” Yeah, NOPE. This one was a But she was exactly-exactly-exactly right: our bodies CAN do this and we ARE proud of ourselves for finishing. Sydney & Dustin, we adore you and are so grateful for everything you put into this for us.

[fakhermokadem]

As always Sydney Cummings has a knack for making sure we have variety.. I never get bored and these workouts fly by.

[rachelemily]

I am so glad that I found Sydney last April, after the gyms closed.

I have been working out with her for. A full year now and I am in the best shape of my life physically and mentally. Her constant positive message throughout the workouts and at the end, have allowed me to live up to my potential.

Thank you so much Sydney! Congratulations on 1 million!

Good morning, Sydney Squad! I crushed this workout! I slept well last night and I gave everything I had during the workout. I’m going to work on my Senior Tax Specialtist Exam that I started during the tax season. It’s my fourth time taking the exam but I’m going to pass it this time. I’m also going to spend some quality time with my girlfriend the next several days. I hope everyone has a good day and I’ll see you tomorrow!

[opheliavecchione]

When she first said, "That is how you finish a workout!" I laughed and sighed to myself, so happy to have a trainer I know believes in me even if I haven't met her. I feel so lucky to have a trainer like her. But THEN when she said, "I don't envision the camera and the tripod, I envision you!" I just whispered "Thank you, Sydney, " on the verge of tears. It's people like Sydney that we need more in the world. Sydney is the type of person to bring light to the world just because she can and because she loves it. So again, thank you, Sydney ❤️😭

[colette]

Crushed it for all the seniors out there.69 does not mean you are not able if your health is good.It was hard but great work out. So' good on you' for all who tried their best whatever that was like.

[giovannajosetti]

God it was sooo hard 😂 only Sydney can kill me for 40 min and still make me smile and almost cry at the end with her beautiful words ❤️ thank youu ❤️

[Lexus]

I have never been so excited to do a cardio workout as I was today. AMRAP is my JAM! Loved this one SO very much. I push myself SO much when it is AMRAP. Going to see how I can take this mindset and put it to other forms of workouts :) Thanks again, much love, stay safe and healthy everyone <3

[staciemunson]

I showed up to the cardio party-io ready to work hard! This workout was incredible from Minute 1 to Minute 40. And I am left feeling like I can take on anything. Our bodies are meant to move so keep that heart rate up and don't slow down! You will feel amazing afterwards. You will feel like a complete BA! Because you are ❤ Happy Tuesday Squad fam!

[SophiaLily]

Thank you for seeing us, Sydney!!!! This made me tear up as you said that you look in the camera and see us. You are amazing and I adore you!

[sharmilashankar]

This was super tough and when Sydney asked how we were doing...I was answering "doing fine Sydney just dying"😁 This was definitely a killer workout and it sure challenged us a lot at every stage. As Sydney says we believe in ourselves and never doubt ourselves. Band stretch felt good after this workout. Tuesday workout accomplished.
