YouTube Rewind 2013
YouTube Rewind 2013
So today is the day! YouTube finally released their Rewind 2013 video! I love love love watching these. There’s something about seeing all my fave YouTubers reenact the biggest viral vids of the year that kinda sends chills up my spine but makes my heart warm at the same time. This year guys…I am so happy to say…that your trainer was part of the making of the video!
*shrieks*
It’s kinda been my in-the-closet dream. No really. I have always wanted to be a part of one of these original YouTube productions. So when they asked me, I felt like my 2013 was complete. I had to say yes!! If you watch the vid (which you def should) you’ll see me horsin’ around. Like, literally. I had the chance to meet GloZell and KassemG and film atop a lovely LA rooftop. We did this about a month ago! It’s amazing how quickly it all turned around. How many YouTubers and viral vid references can you spot?
When I woke up this morning I got a text from a friend who I haven’t spoken to in a long time…it was a picture of this:
*shrieks again*
OMG, front page of LA TIMES Business??!?!??! I was so surprised…honored…thankful. Seriously guys, if it wasn’t for your enthusiasm to workout, do Earthquakes, Double Leg Lifts, and Burpees with me, I mean – where would Blogilates be? Because of you, little by little the world is starting to take notice of how fun and entertaining fitness can be. I am so happy that our vibrant and positive community is growing rapidly every day. I love you so much for being a part of my life…and for making my dream of being in this Rewind video come true 🙂
I also want to take a moment to reflect back on YouTube and POP Pilates. I remember putting up a simple 10 min total body workout for my students in LA before moving to Boston for my first job out of college in 2009. I never thought anyone would really watch it. But as time went on and my job got worse and worse, I posted more and more. You guys encouraged me to keep making videos. Reading your comments always brightened my day…they energized me and made me believe there was a better life beyond my stupid desk job. And today, from reading all of your emails, letters, tweets, and comments…Blogilates has become a FORCE because of you. You helped me become a better instructor, you’ve helped me gain confidence in my teaching, and you’ve helped Blogilates become the #1 Most Subscribed fitness channel for women on YouTube.
BRAVO!!!
We’re almost at 1 MILLION subscribers. I can’t even believe it. That’s crazy!!!
And you know what? When that happens, I am going to have a very very very special surprise for you. It’s something that I’ve been working on and perfecting for the past year. You’ve asked for it for a long time (kinda like the app). And also due to Facebook’s ridiculous inability to be useful as a fanpage anymore…this surprise is super necessary. Just imagine a world where you can make friends with POPsters all over the globe. A place to find safety and seek support. A place of inspiration when you’ve feeling down. A place to find a sister to look after you and for you to look after. A place for you to share your successes and failures with no judgement. A place of honesty and REALNESS. This will be your fitness home. You’ll see 🙂 I love you so much and this is everything you’ve ever wanted and deserve.
Ooh! And here’s the Behind the Scenes vid:
Bye my lovelies…see you soon!
<3 Cassey
PS – Should I do a 50 random facts about me video? What do you wanna know?

Cassey, you never cease to amaze and inspire me! I loved meeting you at the NYC meetup last spring and I’m practically in tears I’m so excited for you about the YouTube Rewind. You deserve every bit of acknowledgment and appreciation that you get!
So basically, you’re perf.
K love you bai. <3
omgosh! when I saw that video i didn’t know that was actually you! That’s awesome!
Oh my goodness I’m so excited for whatever this surprise is!!!! I don’t have an iphone (which is one of the main ways people connect to social media like twitter, fb, etc) and therefore I don’t feel like I’m very well connected with other POPsters. But this new site, or whatever it may be, sounds AMAZING!!! Can’t wait 🙂 Thank you for your love and support Cassey! You and all your positive inspiration make me feel beautiful <3 <3 <3
Congratulations! I love seeing people’s dreams come true. Thank you, thank you for being you and providing such a fantastic ftiness community online – and FOR FREE no less. Often times, you make my day with your positive attitude and comments.
Yes, please make a 50 facts video, it would be so fun! I’d love to know if you have names picked out for your hypothetical future children (apologies if that is too personal, just disregard) and what your favorite beauty product is.
Questions:
Who are some of the most influential people in your life?
What made you get into fitness? Were you ever heavy?
Why do you continue to do YouTube when you could make more $$ selling your vids?
yeah you should do a video!
i wanna know like what’s your heritage, where are you from,
oooh heres a good question: what would you have done for a career if you wouldn’t have done fitness?
-when (if ever) was the toughest age for you physically (weight gain,weight decline,personal image,etc.) and how did you get through it?
what makes you the most annoyed at people
what is your favorite color
what is seriously like the one food that if someone put it in front of you no matter how die hard trainer you were you would have to eat it bc u love it so much?
etc. lol
Congrats Cassey! You are the best and I am so incredibley happy for you. You inspire me to work out everyday and eat clean. You definately deserved to be in the video! As for the 50 facts I think you should do it because I would love to get to know my main fitness motivator!
Cassey, this is such a wonderful achievement and as many have said, incredibly deserved! You are such an inspiration to young women (and probably older women too, now that I think about it) to be fit and healthy, to make fitness fun, to indulge on occasion, and to find a healthy balance. I’m so happy you are being recognized, congratulations!
Yes of course! I want to cry right now because you`re our angel in the world, always with the smile and love protecting us from unhealthy lifestyles! We love you. Really. Im not kiddin
Hi everyone! I am thinking about buying a ThighMaster, and I would like to know your opinions and reviews about it? Is it worth it? Does it do any good? With love, another POPster<3
Congratulations Cassey! Well deserved honor.
For 50 random facts…
I’d like to know how much sleep you avg. per night to keep your energy going…I know…boring question…
A 50 facts video would be very interesting but I rather have those monthly favorite videos back, really enjoyed those 😀
Cassey you are AMAZING! I loved the video and blog post. You’re my role model alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Two beautiful and inspiring women. I also wanted to tell you that you’ve changed my life. Fitness has become a huge part of my life. This spring I’m going to be training to become a yoga/pilates instructor and that’s something I would have NEVER done if I hadn’t found you on YouTube. I absolutely adore you and wish you all the best. You worked for this and you totally deserve it!
Love Amy , all the way from Newfoundland Canada 🙂
Cassey, my son (15 years old) came into the living room yesterday to say “mom, you have to watch this video, it has the blogilates woman in it!” I have had so much fun doing all the videos, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Oh Cassey if only you really knew what you do for all of us, I can honestly say I have never been this strong and healthy and thats saying a lot since i’ve had two kids. I was always making excuses as to why i couldn’t work out but I actually wake up extra early (530am) to make sure I work out with you and although there have been times I’ve yelled at you through my tablet loll I can never begin to thank you enough for what you do, love you so much and wish you all the blessings this christmas.
Hey Cassey!
I am elated!!!! You totally deserve that hun. xxxo Keep killin it! !!!!!!!
Congratulations Cassey! I tell all my friends about Blogilates because you have truly changed my fitness, strength, and my body! Thank you so much!
First of all I want to say congratulations! It is just incredible 😀
Blogilates changed my whole life and I got so opsessed when I got in boarding school that I only have time for you at the weekend but so I get even more excited for weekends!
Every day I feel so energetic because I discovered how and tasty veggies and fruits are and that it don’t have to be chocolate, chips, ice cream and that stuff for the sweet tooth
I just want to say thank you so much to you <3
yes!
Hey Cassey! I am 16 yrs old and a junior high school.. I must say you are a total inspiration! I love you so much and you deserve all the wonderful success coming into your life. I bought the fit journal and got the new body meal plan with it after years of being insecure of my body. I havent gave my 110% with it, but I’ve defintely gotten stronger! I also really enjoy your recipes on this blog. Thank you so much for being so caring, motivating, and awesome. Thank you for blogilates!!
Congrats! Very very deserved! You have helped me SO much to becoming a better me, I’ve never enjoyed eating right or exercising and I love it now! I’ healthiest I’ve ever been and have lost 28 lbs since I started in June 🙂 you are an amazing and inspiring woman! Thanks for all you do for us!
CONGRATULATION CASSEYY! You deserve every single bit of it! Thank you for everything you’ve done to us through the year, really 2013 has been one of the best since I discovered Pop Pilates.
PS: You should definitely those 50 facts about you! We wanna know everything *.*
I love it! So excited for the surprise. 🙂 And YES you should do a 50 random facts video! I love the non-fitness videos you do almost (hehe) as much as the fitness ones! You should definitely do more of them. 🙂
Omg Cassey! You are so right. If I wanna eat anything then I should! As long as the next day I push myself harder during my workouts the next day. I love that you metioned that. I always feel so stricted to just eating Veggies, Fruits and lean protein. But right now, i feel the need to strict myself for this month just to lose about 15 pounds but after that I think I will start allowing myself to have a YOLO meal. Just got to stay strong and get through the hard times first! Thanks Cassey!
Wish me luck lol
Thanks so much for motivating us to workout everyday!
Congratulations Cassey, you have helped so many people, you deserve only good things. Thank you for all you do.
Wow, congrats!! I just watched this video today.. lots of crazy fun going on in that video, so I didn’t even realize you were in it along with many of my YouTube faves!
I also wanted to say THANK YOU for what you do. I was going through a rough time emotionally, and thus physically the last few months. I randomly stumbled upon Blogilates a few weeks ago and I am happily hooked. The ability to take baby steps back toward fitness in the comfort zone of my room through your YouTube videos is making a BIG difference in my life already. Keep up the amazing work!
Your new supporter,
Tiffany R.
PS: I’m putting Blogilates gear on my Christmas wishlist, hehe!
I’m so happy for you Cassey! Every time you post a video I just feel so proud of you! I’m in high school so we have to do those papers about us sometimes and blogilates is always in there and for my idol I always right down you. You are so energetic and confident and kind, ever since I started blogilates I can feel myself becoming more of those things. Thank you for changing so many lives. Mine will never be the same and I can not imagine my life without fitness anymore.
I saw the video yesterday and I literally shrieked when I saw you Cassey (I’m one of the people who responded to your comment on the video haha). Right then I was soo proud of my ‘trainer’ Cassey ^_^. Congratulations Cassey, you deserve all the best. It was an amazing video too (made me feel warm inside too :P).
P.S. Thanks for that tidbit at the end by the way. I felt so bad yesterday because I ate a piece of candy >_< , but you just lifted my spirits. I'll work out extra hard tonight 😀
Oh and please pleease do a 50 Random Facts, it would be Awesomesauce (Like these Awesomesauce Arms I’m gettin’ ;P)
Congrats!! you deserve it!! I love you so much!! thank you thank you thank you for everything that you do!! and yes, DO A 50 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME!! Please!
Congratulations Cassie! You’re such an inspiration to all of us. I can’t believe how positive you are, and how you have so much strength and power to keep going every day. But it is true: if you follow your dreams and do what you love you feel better about yourself and don’t ever get tired 🙂
I quit my desk job too and went traveling and my life feels better now though it is lots more harder cause finding a job or studying in a new uni or learning new languages are not easy things… BUT lots and lots more rewarding. and you meet crazy, positive, bubbly new persons too! AAAAaand it does not matter if I’m in Belgium, Finland, Australia or Germany, I can do your vids everywhere. ;D
New stop please! Keep doing these crazy-too-hard-i-want-to-die videos and keep writing your blog forever! I def would love to hear 50 facts about you 🙂
Yes!! Fifty random facts and I love the rewind video! 🙂 it’s actually seriously a problem how proud I felt when I saw you in it.
Congratulations Cassie! You’re one of my favorite youtubers. Really, you’re amazing! Youtube Rewind 2013 is amazing. I teared up at the end. 🙁 “For Talia Joy Castalleno who still inspires us” Ahhhhhh!
Congrats Cassey!!! I am glad that you had an amazing 2013. From what you said you’re working on, it sounds like 2014 is only going to be better!
Thanks for coaching us and teaching us to never give up! <3
Congratulations, Cassey! You deserve all the great things in the world, haha! I’m so, so excited about that forum/community thing – I can’t wait to get to know my fellow Popsters better!
You know, I went to visit my parents a week ago (we live six hours drive apart) and when they saw me, my dad said “If your grandmother were to see you now, she would start putting food on the table and make you eat.” (For context, my grandmother’s generation lived through WWII and looking well-fed was a sign of wealth.) I’ve noticed a difference myself, but it was great to hear that they notice it too! This is me after two months of doing your workout calendars and eating clean. So, thank you so much for what you’re doing, Cassey, and to everyone: you can do it! If you want to succeed, stop quitting. Power through, because the feeling is so worth it!
Thank you for kicking my butt every day and keeping me motivated! My sister introduced me to your videos, she made me do call me maybe squats with her, and I couldn’t walk up the stairs to my classes the next day! (and I LOVED it) I’ve been following your calenders religiously since and have never felt better!
p.s. YES do a 50 facts video! We wanna know about your love life!
You TOTALLY deserve everything because you are a powerful source of insipiration for 1 million people all around the world! You help us and give us power when we are tired and we want to give up, you make us laugh even when we want to die because the workout is too hard, but we keep going because we don’t want to disappoint both you and ourselves, you support and make us stronger everyday and I personally want to thank you for all you do!
Kisses from Italy <3
P.S. Talk about what do you like to do, which hobbies do you have and maybe also about your love life, we are curious! 😉
Cassey, please make the January calendar just as hard as this one, so all of us who are starting the new body makeover next month to get a great start! I love you and I love Blogilates!! 🙂
I love the rewind video! Did you get to meet Jenna Marbles??
Thank you Cassey for everything! Especially for saying not to feel guilty about YOLO meals…but my resistance to temptation is growing stronger and stronger- this will be the first holiday season I lost weight *victory*! So excited about the lifestyle 180 that’s happening to me.
Yes do a 50 random facts video! Love! <3
I found blogilates one year and a half . The 1st workout I did was “Intense Abs WO” and OMG since that day my life changed. Really I’m glad I find you. It’s like I discovered a kind of treasure and makes me feel so happy !!!! You’re awesome Cassey :] and you’ve changed the life of soo many people ; please continue on the same way. I really feel I love you and I don’t even know you. =] Anyway , greetings from Mexico City.

Anyone knows why there are so many goats? Animal costumes and teddy bears? I don’t get lol Anyways, congrats Cassey, love your videos and excited to start your meal plan since I got the fit journal :). I would love to know more about you as a business woman. Do you have a team? How do you create your products? Apps? Videos, etc.? Your brand and community continues to grow and it’s pretty inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Screaming goats were huge on youtube through 2013, aaand I guess there were a lot of animals on the Internet this year?
