Yawns form when she lifts weights is so so wrong, bending over from the waist to lift heavy weights repeatedly won't do anything other than give her a bad back.

Norma27 · 24/02/2023 06:23

Yawn’s form is so awful. She really needs to stop before she gets others injured who follow what she does.
I really cringe at her clean and press-she has no idea what she is doing. I thought she used to do body pump when she could afford the gym.

I doubt there's much risk of that- surely people only watch those vids for entertainment purposes.

Hmrc need to be informed about yawn @YouOKHun

Sugarplum48 · 24/02/2023 09:37

Just found Bruv on insta and fb. Well he's a grade A prick isn't he and why is castle in a weird squat on her insta? She looks a right pillock!! And don't get me started on yawns very strange weight lifting vids on her insta. She really should come with a safety warning.

BSintolerant · 24/02/2023 10:04

Don’t worry about HMRC: they’ll be able to trace Yawn in the blink of an eye. I can’t help but wonder why she hasn’t updated her home address on Companies House.

Yawn’s exercise videos are comedy gold. She never lets good form, taste, or expertise get in her her way. She is us, without the fear of failure. 😉

fromdownwest · 24/02/2023 10:20

We know you read these Yawn, so a few quick points

  • Lower your weight, nail your form
  • Straight back (always)
  • Don't sway
  • Deadlifts are a push not a pull, don't have a cat back. Push up through the floor.
  • At your level Olympic moves are not ideal - sort out the overhead press first, and your squats - then move to Push Press
  • Squat legs shoulder width apart, DO NOT LEAN FORWARD

That is a few points from the 4 videos your showed us

Shortpoet · 24/02/2023 12:13

Strange that with her millions, she can’t afford a personal trainer to help with her form.
I see one once a week that is paid for from my boring office J.O.B.

SnoogyWoo · 24/02/2023 14:37

Such a strange image of castles on insta!

….. and 10 minutes later it’s gone!

(waves to Castle👋)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/02/2023 15:07

The picture is still on the Scamversity Insta & FB pages.

Aptly, it's captioned:

"My mission for you is always…

1️⃣ Find the right path that’s the right fit for you.

2️⃣ Keep you focussed on that path until you achieve your desired outcome.

Castle X"

So, looking at said path, 1. it is a garden path and 2. It leads absolutely nowhere...

Spongebobette · 24/02/2023 15:29

Bruv is doing ‘social media branding retreats’ soon

hmm using his sister’s house I wonder - charge people to come for a few days so the house gets rented and then he goes round taking photos?

YouOKHun · 24/02/2023 15:41

I see Yawn and her young apprentice have been spreading the poison word in a mother and baby group. She calls the products “mother and child health and well-being products”. There is no evidence that the aloe gloop will contribute anything to anyone’s health and some evidence that in adults drinking AV may be unwise and certainly in the quantities Yawn will want people to buy. For children, breast feeding and pregnant mothers it’s definitely not recommended and of course these are exactly the people attending the group she’s hooked herself into. Then there’s the financial damage to the adults attending if they’re recruited.

if I was in charge of that messy play business that is running the group I’d be considering how it will pan out for me if FLP becomes attached to my business and then my clients get rinsed by Yawn or they have to put up with the hard sell from her or anyone she recruits every time they attend. They may find they start to lose people opposed to MLM or those that become irritated by it. That’s assuming the messy play business owner isn’t a bot themselves.

Spongebobette · 24/02/2023 15:46

Looks like Castle is paying €10k a year plus €2.5k enrolment fee for her son

hope she’s got enough monthly subscriptions coming in to pay that

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/02/2023 15:53

I'm sure she's paying per term and don't expect she'll be there all that long.
Besides, she's quite happy to pull him out of school for months at a time when it suits her whims.

Yawns latest 'boxing with dumbbells' insta reel - 😂😂😂...I thought the pretend body pump was bad form but the weird combat / pump hybrid is just horrendous.

What IS she doing?! None of her workouts are effective. She does that thing people do where they randomly combine loads of moves together to make things look complicated instead of just mastering simple moves effectively and the boxing with dumbbells looks dangerous on the wrists!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/02/2023 17:00

I see Castle has given herself a promotion on Insta- she now describes herself as 'Scamversity CEO' (She was previously 'Co-Founder').

I expect she sees it as making the best out of Fierce baling out, silver lining and all that.

Most people see it as same shit, different bucket.

On her feel fabulous group she's doing a bar workout and bending at the waist picking up a bar full of weights. I cringed at every rep waiting for her back to go

Yawn is the Margarita Pracatan* of the exercise world. She’s entertaining for all the wrong reasons on many levels. 😉

*In case you don’t know who she was, here’s a bit of Margarita for you.

ticktock19 · 24/02/2023 18:34

@PieonaBarm oh god, that sounds horrific and so dangerous. She's an idiot but won't be told as she is now fitness influencer 🙄...lol @BSintolerant, that's the perfect comparison...I remember her from Clive James

It also follows the American Curriculum and the ‘about us’ is something to behold….lots of long words saying nothing!

Ohnonevermind · 24/02/2023 21:47

Second day of the photo shoot is very quiet, surely they can’t have run out of steam already. I was looking forward to more squat shots 🤣

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/02/2023 21:56

I wonder if latest bestie Irish FL bot realised after spending a day with Castle and Bruv that it was all a horrendous shit-show and there's been some sort of falling out?
