Going through some tough times but we will come out stronger for it.
If you’ve been wondering why we’ve been quiet lately, this will be a helpful watch. If your only interest is our workout videos, all you need to know is that we’re taking a temporary break in publishing in order to build some infrastructure and support around ourselves and our business so that we can better focus on creating content, and that there are more new workout videos, workout programs, website features, meal plans, recipes, and secret projects in the works and on the way. But we need a water break; a breather for planning & building the future of FB, self care, sustainability and health. If you want to know more details about what’s going on, feel free to read my letter/blog post @ We love you guys and want to thank you sincerely for all of the love & support over the years. I cannot wait to jump back out in front of that bright white background and earn a #workoutcomplete with you all 💛

Hi Kelly
Thank you for sharing, you are so right to be transparent and not just project the ‘perfect’ image…
I too was struck down with neuralgias (specifically Trigeminal and other cranial nerves but also complex pain from that which creeps down my upper body and spine)… Along with chronic fatigue my world was tipped upside down, leading into chronic anxiety, panic attacks and not feeling at home in my body at all… I was Bedbound for 2 years and largely housebound since then…
BUT, with research and dedication (and lots of rest rest rest & destress) things have improved… In fact, finding fitness blender was part of my recovery (mostly my recovery from being bedbound and inactive, rebuilding myself in a gentle way & attempting to burn off some of the fat I have gathered from being ill!) As a person with chronic pain, I found you to be the best teacher for this part of my journey, so was brought to tears watching your video today and reading this blog… Just know that when you are ready to come at this from your new angle you will be an amazing source of inspiration to others trying to climb into better health from various ailments, and you have the perfect character to lead from this new understanding you are gaining of the body and all the freaky things it can do to impede us!
For now though, rest, restore, seek out what you need to come to terms with your new reality, reconnect with yourself, find your inner peace & let your warrior grow from there.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you, it is devastating, and hard to let others know just how much when we can look so ‘normal’, but I do look forward to continuing the fitness & health journey with you as and when you can, knowing that you can cater in a monumental way towards people like me (and you!) but not until you have fully catered for yourself first.
Sending love & strength.. thank you again for sharing & being real.
Take as long a break as you need. You have helped many, many people with the content you've created already. My prayers are with you both! Be well!
In truth. I have not been doing FB workout because of pain in my right hip and wrists (not caused by FB lol) so I totally get pain and needing to reduce inflammation. I also ended up sick for 3 months with some odd virus NO NOT CORONA and low adrenals and i gained 2 pant sizes eating very low cal bec I could not workout. So Kelly I get it girl…it's upsetting and frustrating. I understand those tears. After 4 months, I am finally back to weight lifting and doing moderate, not HIIT, cardio but at least I have a chance of feeling fit again. My prayers are with you.
Animos 💪🏽! Regards from Honduras!
I hope you get the healthcare that you need. When I was diagnosed with MS it was completely overwhelming and I felt like my whole life was over. I'm still here though. My advice… Don't feel bad about needing a break. Take the time you need!
Kelli, YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM! You two are so sweet together. Life is full of ups and downs. Take as much time as you need, and know that you have a lot of people rooting for you. Be kind to yourself and just take it day by day!
We love your workouts. Thank you both for such amazing workout. We wish you health and happiness always ♥️
You guys are a Godsend. <3
God I love you two. Sending you so much love, light & strength. Really proud of how you know how to be business leaders and vulnerable, kind and generous people at the same time. 💓💓💓
happy seeing Kelli back!
Love your guys so much 😍 couple goals!
I have been dealing with chronic muscle pain for over 10 years now. Honestly your channel is the only work out channel that I really liked during those years. Many times I haven't been able to do anything but some periods I have been doing your recovery and low intensity workouts. Also you helped me get into the habit of doing stretches during the day when I feel I need them. Now my pain is finally getting better and I'm having more energy lately. I started walking daily now and this is already a big deal for me. I can't wait to start working out again aswell. But mainly what I wanted to say is how great you guys are and what a big inspiration you are. Don't worry about your channel too much. Take care of yourself and take it slow otherwise you'll take a lot longer in the end. I know how frustrating it can be to not feel as good and energetic as you once felt. But you will get there again Kelly!
you both are EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE!!!! You have all of our support. It is so refreshing to find such genuine and caring content creators and please take care of yourselves and you should be proud Kelli that you are strong enough to be so vulnerable and open to the world and that is because you are filled with kindness.
💞
Deberían tener su traducción en español. Somos los latinos quienes también vemos su canal. Una sugerencia creo!
Noooooo Kelli! Seeing the video cut out because you were gonna cry made me well up :'( This video was posted a long time ago but I hope you're doing so much better <3
Hi Kelly and Daniel, I am so much wishing Kelly a speedy recovery. I love your videos. Will be waiting eagerly for more and to see you both again! Kelly will get better, I am sure of this. Sending you virtual hugs!
Kellie, you are NOT a problem, yet alone the problem. You might be experiencing a problem but it does not define who you are. Do what you need to do to care for yourself. I dealt with stress and know personally it is painful, bewildering and negatively impacts your emotional state and physical health. Taken the time you need. Your true fans will be patiently awaiting your return. Love you.
Kelli! U are a great person! There’s no words to describe the beautiful soul that u are!🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘thank God for your husband support and family 💕💕💕
You are awesome 😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing your story – I'm a prayerful person and you will be in my prayers. I found your workouts during covid and they have been awesome – blessings on you both. 🙏
Sending lots of love and prayers. Thanks for your honesty and transparency- it’s so lovely and caring for you to share what you have and wishing you good thoughts in your recovery Kelli – you’re such a strong lady you’ve got this .
Thanks again so much for all your content. I’ve had struggles with PTSD and your videos have been a life changer and kept me active on my worst days. You help me and many others so much and your gigantic library of workout videos are such a gift!
Oh, man! That beard! Absolutely gorgeous! ❤️
I don't know you in person but I know I love you both guys. I'm so happy you're back and always remember you're not a problem you're a wonderful strong woman who can do HIIT without resting more than 10 seconds and that's amazing!!! Blessings and love from Guatemala 😘🇬🇹

You guys have helped alot of people so much including me with their health & fitness. Kelly everything's gonna be okay,take heart. My prayers. Still waiting for your fully return🤗.
To the 101 dislikes this shows that whatever you do in this world,people will still be negative.
I'm finding this videos 2 yrs after this video was made.
So sorry to hear some of what you've been thru and I'm praying that all will be well with Kelli. So glad to see as well how you love and care for each other.
Prayer for you both. ✝️🙏🏻
This is why I only watch your channel for my fitness workouts. Your honesty and transparency are beautiful and rare. Thank you.
I'm glad to see you back again!! This video and situation is in the past. Thanks for being a great inspiration in fitness and life!
You are both amazing people, and have enriched our lives with your presentations!
Hi Kelli! Just wondering how you’re feeling these days…
Also, can’t say enough how awesome you guys are and how far you’ve come from such a humble beginning. You’ve provided such invaluable free content on YouTube that has helped me with my exercises, nutrition & overall health. THANK YOU!!
So my question has to do with tendinitis.
I assume you get a lot of questions regarding muscle soreness/tightness & joint/knee pain, but I’d like to know if y’all experience tendinitis and if, in some cases, that is a result of exercise?
Mine is on top of my foot, right before my toes. When I extend my legs and point my toes down, I get a pins & needle feeling. Also, when I kneel, I feel pins and needle pain around my knee cap that radiates down the side of my leg. Do y’all get that feeling and do y’all have a remedy for it?
Thanks for all you two do for all of us! Keep up the great work!!
I've seen many workout videos but I always come back to Fitness Blender. I've wanted to try others but FB is just the best team ever out there. I'm happy I've found them and they helped me workout for years now. They are great as a team, awesome workouts and tips, and above all they seem like such great people too. Thank you. I wish you all the best Kelly.
Watching this in 2021 and crying, even though I know she's better now. Kelli, you are a rockstar! ❤
You guys are a wonderful couple. Thank you for your amazing videos and for opening up about some kind of problems. Big hugs from Italy ♥️

How are you now, Kelli?
God bless you guys! Thank you for sharing these workouts and your personal journey with us. Praying for your continued good health and prosperity.
Hi Kelli and Daniel, I just saw this video with your personal story. Respect!!! Although it's a few years ago, I hope you still take very good care of yourself. For me personally, I have tremendous joy with all the video's you made in the past 10 years. All the good!!
