Couldn't find a thread so i thought I'd start one.

Does anyone else do Caroline's Circuits? I signed up a week ago and have already done four of the workouts. I am in a world of DOMS but it feels good!

I like her no-frills style and the fact it's filmed in what looks like her hallway with no background music. The workouts are all 30 mins max which is just about manageable for me with young DC.

Hoping for some good results as my body is starting to resemble a blob now I'm in my mid forties. Is anyone further down the road than me and can give me some positive progress stories?

Ooh, interested in this. Do you have a link?

lyricalwindmills · 07/03/2025 07:28

This is her website: https://carolinescircuits.com

And this is the article where I found out about her: https://www.thetimes.com/article/95413819-2643-4847-bfd0-1aff48b1e979?shareToken=53eb5161660a97c3b1146dcaad03306ff_

It's behind a paywall so apologies if it doesn't work.

Did the legs workout yesterday and I am walking like John Wayne today! Grin

I like her, but did find it expensive when there’s so many similar workouts (including done if hers!) on YouTube for free, so I cancelled in the end.

Yes fair enough @Sammysquiz

I have been shelling out £60 a month for the gym and never going so I figure this is cheaper ... as long as I stick to it. 4 days a week is a big step up from my previous routine of 0 days a week Grin

Just bumping this as I’m 5 weeks in now and absolutely loving it. I’m only managing it 3 times a week at the moment but am feeling stronger and starting to think about using heavier weights (started on 2kg) and maybe adding a resistance band.

Anyone else on the CC train?

I subscribe and am trying to do at least 3 of her workouts a week, after dropping off a bit after Christmas.
I have thought about cancelling though as PP said, there are so many free options around.
However I am more likely to do a workout if I’ve paid for it so haven’t cancelled yet!

Honestly this thread feels like an advertisement. The Times article had the feel of being promotional, look at the comments!

There are so many outstanding and FREE exercise videos on YouTube run by amazing women like Caroline Girvan, Heather Robertson, Sydney Cummings etc I’ve got to wonder why anyone would pay her prices!

lyricalwindmills · 26/03/2025 18:36

I promise I don’t work for her Grin

I just like the workouts. Admittedly I have never done online workouts before so haven’t heard of the people you mention! I like the “live class” feeling of these but are there any other trainers who offer similar for free? As I’d be happy to save my money.
