GrowWithJo is Misleading You (What's the truth??)

In today's video we're discussing GrowWithJo and how misleading her content is. In particular, the heavy clickbait use in her titles and thumbnails. For the most part clickbait is just annoying but in the fitness industry it can be harmful.

I also include examples of clickbait from Chloe Ting and Jon from ObeseToBeast.

The comment section passed the vibe check. I’ve lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks by doing Jo’s workout videos and doing a high protein, low carb diet.

Never thought I'd see someone hating on Jo 😂😂

[RachyRach]

You: "I don't know if anyone feels this way"
Comment section: Nobody feels this way.

Jo helped me lose 40 pounds and more importantly she helped me improve my mental health. Combining her workouts and a low carb lifestyle helped me reach my goals. I welcomed 40 years old feeling better than I ever did in my 20’s thanks to Jo.

[cazzzziiieeee]

Not you calling out clickbait with clickbait. How does anyone find a way to hate on Jo? She literally motivates people with her workout and does it with a smile. Some of us don’t have access to a gym and actually find her workouts helpful because I can do them at the comfort of my home. I am grateful for Jo’s workouts because I find them useful for my overall health

[hannahfulmer]

This ain’t it girl . Her workouts actually work and she’s positive and helps A LOT of people actually lose weight . I’ve been doing her workouts for 2 months and lost 20 pounds .

[viJILLante]

Growithjo- creates free approachable videos that help people mentally and physically.

Frumpyfit- creates video complaining about another youtuber- helping no one.

[nikkihummel]

She literally has disclaimers saying that not everyone is going to burn the same amount of calories AND has stopped even posting the calories at all.

[nzubechi]

Jo always puts in her description box, "Calories may vary, depends on your personal stats."

[inesafrica]

I think there is a reason that Jo has so many subscribers. People get results. I get results. It's called consistency and the right diet. There is no magic pill... As for calorie claims etc I think we are all ok to realise that we need to do our own homework and the point is her workouts are fun and enjoyable. Hence why people continue doing them and want to do them. I myself have lost almost 50 pounds just doing 20min workouts of hers and changing my portion control. I don't think most people care about precise details when results are there. No one is perfect. If you are so concerned contact her and discuss your concerns with her. Maybe she would appreciate that more than making a video about why she is so misleading?

[maria-alexandracretescu]

This is such a sad video. I appreciate Jo because she motivates people to workout and she makes her workouts easy, so people can actually enjoy it. Every kind of movement helps because loosing weight is about consistency, not making things hard.

[ashleymcgeachie]

Wow! I want the 6 minutes of my life back!! I’ve been doing Jo’s workouts for 3 weeks EVERY single day. I’ve never been so consistent and I absolutely love her workouts and the community she’s built is absolutely amazing and super inspirational! I feel like this video is click bait tbh it’s just hear more about it in this video I’VE made 😅 anyways so much love for JO!!

[Summer_Renee]

I've been doing Jo's videos for 6 months, along with eating better, and I've lost almost 60 lbs. She makes me want to workout. She makes it fun and simple and it's effective. Her personality also helps. Seeing her smile and try motivate you through a screen is so encouraging. Her click bait thumbnails are simply that, we should be doing our own research, not taking those as fact.

[Prettypeople]

I will never understand how people find so much time to trash other people.

[drmomu]

I think her positivity, encouragement, and honest vulnerability make her workouts approachable and they INSPIRE people to try. As a physician I would rather that than people being discouraged by the nitpicking nuance you focus on instead of motivation. I’m sorry your friend felt discouraged that she did not see flat abs, but she has said in her workout tapes nutrition is key as abs are made in the kitchen more than in the gym. But people are getting results. I’ve had couch potatoes with diabetes come off their meds after being consistent instead of being discouraged. If your friend didn’t get the abs she wanted in two weeks I would suggest she was in need of a refresher in basic human biology and nutrition. But positive people always attract haters- I hope you can channel this negative into positive abs help people in love and sincerity because this ain’t it girl.

[HerHomeschoolHomestead]

You are not happy. That is the issue. She has helped me so much. I was never overweight, but I have been wanting to get toned. I am a Mom. A homeschool Mom. So I need all the positivity I can get. I have seen results. Even if it is faked, it isn’t faked when I look at myself in the mirror or how my mood feels. Please find other things to do, than put other woman down. This show’s weakness. And it is ugly. Be blessed and happy.

Love love her

[OceanMomma]

You easily could have shared this info without dissing on a creator. She's amazing.

[laraum]

WE LOVE JO. She actually made me start working out

[Faith.is.Awake.notwoke]

Here is a RED FLAG... You only have 107 thousand subscribers and Jo has 5.5 MILLION subscribers. Is that really why you are dissing Jo? 🤔🤨
