Lucy Mountain

3) She was absolutely exploiting group members for diversity. One of the girls she used in some of the campaigns seemed incredibly problematic and I would often read her posts MOUTH AGAPE.

I know exactly which one you mean

 

[Muchadoaboutmuffin]

She posted saying she had no time and was trying t ok save her beloved fitness app ???

 

[blocknroll]

What is going on with her Instagram, is she having a meltdown

even more bizarre than usual

I haven’t followed her for years but I felt really uncomfortable watching a few of her recent posts.

I’m sorry that you lack the comprehension skills to understand that a mask may not offer the wearer as much protection as it provides others

We've been in a pandemic for over a year and a half, I can't believe we're still having this conversation

Aha and now we can understand quite why corona is still spreading like nuts

 

[lmcn23]

Anyone know what the brand was she did a live workout for she’s talking about on her stories?

Her new tattoo

I went to have a look and gosh her eyebrow lift/eyebrow Botox is wonky lol. Also is the tattoo supposed to be advertising that...she is a lovely time?

 

[thepantsqueen]

Lol she is shutting the group down

I think it's for the best, it's gotten to big for it to be managed by "volunteers"

I used to be in this WhatsApp group but it was so cliquey I left. I think I know who you're referring to but I didn't see that she got bullied out so it must have been after I left. If it is the same person, I thought she was so lovely

This is exactly what I heard, it sounded like such a nasty group and I feel so sorry for that girl, she was genuinely lovely and clearly was given no support from Lucy

I remember there would often be the same people just posting the most inane nonsense, like 'Anyone know where I can find [insert thing you can easily Google]?'

Anyone else remember the one when a girl asked how to wear white socks with trainers? Not like looking for style tips, just genuinely had no idea

Meggan Grubbs app has an option to turn calories on and off which is cool. Not that I use it, I absolutely hate the idea of subscribing to a fitness app because I feel like they’ll never be a good time to cancel the subscription

Just logging here that Lucy mountain wasn’t wearing a mask in Tesco on her IG stories a few days ago. I personally don’t find that responsible as the virus is still very much present and people remain vulnerable (ie immunocompromised people whose vaccine dose isn’t as effective). Plus she was being quite sanctimonious herself about covid restrictions a few months ago to now be telling her followers it’s fine to ignore sensible habits

 

[anom1289]

No one is going to parklife and not taking drugs lmao

I think they were in Ibiza for another friends wedding, not parklife, but I guess the same statement applies to nightclubs in Ibiza lol

 

[clsocial]

She tops it up every now and then and sends it to the nobs mailing list/puts it up on her story but I mean it gets like 10 people a drink at most. Still nicer than most influencers I guess

I think it’s a nice gesture!

 

[thepantsqueen]

I use to be a big fan of Lucy back in the day and purchased her gym guides and everything. Howeverrrrrrrrrrrrr, in the last year or so something has been bothering me about her and I can't for the life of me put my finger on it. She is very 2013 tumblr feminism but I can't quite articulate it yet.

this is exactly how I feel too.

 

[thepantsqueen]

Does anyone else thing all these stories of her and her mates wasted on holiday are a bit much?

I’ve unfollowed her, I’ve always liked her but I do think she’s doing too much

 

[emily287]

Sorry I might have missed this but what was the drama in the whatsapp group?

I wasn't part of the WhatsApp group personally so this is second hand information that might be wrong, but from what I've heard, from more than one person, there was a girl in the London nobs WhatsApp group who was also a moderator for the nobs Facebook page (who is a WOC) was essentially bullied out of the London nobs chat and there were elements of racism involved. She then also left her 'job' as moderator. I've also deliberately not named her, however if you were even mildly active in the group you'll likely know who I mean

Again, this is a shortened version of what I've been told by various people, this could be incorrect.

 

[hellogrrrl]

And this is the exact moment I unfollowed!
Why should I have to validate you for doing your job. Stupid idiot!

Was she trying to be “cute and quirky” again?

If a mask doesn’t offer much protection, why are we even talking about it?

That’s not how it works. The mask protects other people.

Other people who are wearing masks or other people who aren’t?

 

[Apples87]

Same here. Can't speak for the Gym Guide on the app as I only used this for Home Workouts, but I'm not 'mad for the sake of being mad' expecting an app I pay for not to glitch out every other exercise; in addition to expecting a lower/upper split on an 'advanced' guide I'm doing four days a week produced by a qualified PT.

I’m not here to defend Lucy, I understand the point of this website but I’m just confused. You don’t have an upper/lower split? I do and I’ve only set it to 3 days a week. What does yours give you?

I think no matter what people think about her personality etc she has actually created a decent product that can exist outside of the social media space, and that’s what separates her from “fitness influencers”.

 

[Maggiemc96]

Has anyone listened to her podcast? Is it any good?

It’s easy listening but they don’t really say anything revolutionary lol it’s all the same shit I’ve heard in other podcasts before. I feel like the other two girls were trying way too hard to be relatable and kept slipping up and saying stuff that went against the whole woke feminist vibe they were trying to give off and mentioned having loads of stories about certain situations etc but didn’t elaborate, why make a podcast for entertainment purposes if you’re not gonna give people the juicy details lol

 

[anom1289]

Thanks both for the recommendations! I did have Lucy’s first and second plan on AFLETE, loved the first but the second felt like it had weird exercises in it just for the sake of it, really didn’t get on with it and want something a bit more advanced rather than repeating her first guide

I use the current app and I used the old Aflete guide as well. The app is good, I have had issues barely ever (and I use a 5 year old iPhone 8 ). I’ve recommended it to a friend and she really likes it too. There’s no weird exercises that make you feel like a dickhead and if you’re consistent you do get actual strength gains, I actually look forward to upper body now and I can do proper bench presses now.
Recipes are good and easy too. I know this is a gossip site but people who don’t like it must be either the wrong target (ie prefer hiit or glute exercises or not exercising) or are literally just being mad for the sake of being mad.
I’ve been a gym goer for years and it’s just a good, solid strength plan that works for most people.

Also what is the current app I literally could not find it in the App Store
