Meggan Grubb

[Eyesee]

Do you know what’s actually so sad and shows how these influencers work…she had so many comments from people wishing her happy birthday or “” and didn’t reply to any…one person asked “why the bum show?” And she sure as hell replied to that one…

She can’t hack any criticism even if it’s not harsh and even from a (I assume) genuine fan! Pathetic

 

[lesleybanks]

there was one under a post of hers, not sure if it got deleted but she was saying how she was milking it and she’s sick of seeing wedding post… not being funny but ur wedding is a pretty big day and if it’s been cancelled and god knows what like meggan’s, i’d be doing what meg is

yeah exactly they were just having fun with it, i don’t see why not

side note, im glad this thread is still a rave thread because meggan is one of the only you tubers i still truly enjoy watching. i honestly think she’s such a genuine person and she actually cares about her subscribers, she always makes time for people which is sadly rare nowadays

Love Meg but so tired of all these click bait video titles...anyone else? I follow her on ig but not on YouTube anymore as I just find the vlogs boring now I do think she is a very genuine person though so no hate at all...it’s one of the few who I think remained true to themselves and their content

That video broke my heart. You could see how absolutely devastated they both were. Pets truly are family.

I can’t imagine having to live right next door to that man now. It’s so unfortunate because I know they love that house, but I wonder if they’ll consider moving now. I would feel so unsafe letting my little dogs outside just in case either they get through the fence or the other dog does, knowing that the neighbour is so uncaring about keeping anyone else’s pets safe. I’m glad they were able to warn their other neighbours and hopefully Bluebell and Basil stay safe.

I've had the app for three weeks and here are my pros and cons (save the best for last, so cons go first):

Cons

• It's very laggy on my iPhone 7. My phone hasn't got a lot of memory (inbuilt or left) though, so maybe that contributes to it. On the workouts, the timer & rep count/weight buttons are quite buggy and sometimes this gets the app stuck. This definitely gets in the way of how much I like and rate the app. Sometimes it's so laggy that I don't even bother using the app timer/inputting the weight I used.
  • Pro for this - when it does crash or get stuck, it never boots me out of the app/it never force closes. I never lose my workout progress.
• You can't search for specific workouts.
• Every so often, there's a really slight typo in the instructions (NOT a huge deal to me, but I know some people mind, professionalism etc..)
• Even though it's by and large really good for this, there's a small number of exercises in the home guides that rely on owning a long resistance band. I wish she would have an alternative recommended for these exercises.

Pros

• The workouts are super easy to follow. There is usually a description and a demo for each move.
• The home workouts are really good, especially given they're not reliant on you having heavy dumbbells at home:
  • I still get a good resistance workout using the home workouts despite having done heavy weights at the gym for two years.
  • The workouts don't rely on millions of reps - they aren't boring.
  • The workouts are still good even if you have no weights.
• Meggan encourages you to be resourceful and doesn't use Beyond as an opportunity to sell you more stuff. Even where she recommends the use of a resistance band, she doesn't plug her products.
• The workouts are a nice length of time - the standard long workout is 45 minutes.
• There are a variety of workouts. It's not just 50 cardio/resistance workouts with the same structure.
• She gives technique tips to help you get more out of what you're doing.
• Doesn't go funny when you listen to music/leave the app during your workout.
• The layout is nice.
• It doesn't encourage you to 'get shreddy' or prioritise aesthetics.
• The journalling function is quite nice - practising gratitude etc.. It helps build mindfulness into your day without being too time-consuming.
• It's not in your face at all. The reminders to use it are encouraging without being annoying.
• It doesn't guilt you for anything (*cough cough* Duolingo, my God that owl).
  • (Where Duolingo will say "you have broken my heart by not practising Spanish today" or "these notifications aren't working...", Beyond wishes me good luck for the week, tells me I've got this, tells me I've earned a break after working out, etc.. etc..)

My only issues with it so far are basically the tech issues. I would recommend it, especially during lockdown. Learning that this app was made by Genflow, like Shreddy, makes me appreciate that the shit bits in Shreddy (other than the lagginess of the app) aren't down to Genflow - it's down to the people that made the content/Grace. Hope this helps!

Yeah I'm not sure meggan has the "rights" to all colours she likes.
B&T is a business. Of course they're going to release all popular colours, as quickly as possible.

Meggan needs to calm down.

 

[koa123]

I don’t think they should have to voice an opinion tbh, it’s valid to not want to be dragged into that mess

They don't need to do it publicly but if those things came out about my friends I'd definitely not want to associate myself with them, it wasn't one or two misguided tweets because they'd heard language around the house growing up it was hundreds of hateful comments about a lot of different races, sexualities, peoples weight and mental health and even fucking animals it showed character, not mistakes and you don't grow out of that unless you do some serious self work, I can almost guarantee that those types of comments are made around their hous when the cameras aren't rolling. The video of her showing disgust at people from other countries using the weights at her gym was more recent too.

Not to mention how Carl must have felt reading those racist tweets are they really going to stay friends and ask him to go to ever be in a room with them again? Or not invite him to things just because E and C will be there?

Stop trying to find wrong in every little thing. No one in their right mind would say no to a free stay in such an amazing place. And I know her mum won’t care if she paid for all of it or just some of it or even none of it! Mums don’t tend to like having their children “waste” money on them. They are having a holiday and experience together which will mean more to both of them that however much she bloody spent on it. But don’t pretend that you would be all self righteous and turn down thousands of pounds worth of holiday.

Firstly if you read my post I didn't say I would turn down the holiday so reign your neck in!! People like you are the problem heads so far up influencers arses that they can't see any wrong!!!! she has been shady AF. She talked about the trip as if it had come out of her own pocket and even uploaded stories deleted them and then re up loaded with an ad disclosure that she so conveniently missed!! I would 100% take my mum on that trip but I sure as shit wouldn't be bragging it was a trip for her birthday because she deserves it so much when I haven't even paid for it!! now jog on and go fan girl some more

 

[Happyheart11]

What is the need honestly …

 

[lashesfordayz]

okay guys i’m starting to get annoyed by the “click bait” titles now too the new vlog is titled “a huge catch up and my new fitness journey begins…” and the catch up was her saying she knows she took a long time off youtube for christmas/NY but she was busy behind the scenes and her vlogs go up the week after she films them followed by a boring q&a of things we already know, and the new fitness journey is just her following a new beyond guide? in my opinion that’s not a new fitness journey, it’s just continuing the same fitness journey she started last year when she spoke about starting the guide i wanna say in like october time… so nothing new then i dunno before the titles never annoyed me because there was always something related to them in the video but this one just seems a bit too far?

sorry for the essay guys hahaha

 

[betty14]

So so sad for them, she was such a character. From Nialls post it seems that the neighbour doesn’t care at all about what happened, just must make it even more heartbreaking for them

 

[poppy2112]

Training a Greyhound not to go after small animals, in their own territory, is unrealistic.

As hard as it is to take emotion out of the equation, if you step back and look at what could have prevented this from happening, then the responsibility lies with Meggan and Niall.
It's their animal. If they let it roam, then they can't guarantee its safety.

If I knew a Greyhound lived next door, no way in hell I'd let my small animals roam across the fence.

What would I realistically expect my neighbours to do in future?
Keep their dog inside and not let it out in its own yard?

There's no win here. Terribly sad.

I agree with this totally.

Emotion has to be taken out and the bigger picture looked at here.

The dog was contained in a private garden and Poppy was on their property. I don't care how well trained a greyhound (or any dog for that matter is), many dogs will protect their home.

I have a terrier and if a bloody bird lands on the grass in the garden shes after it.

Cats attack and kill millions of birds, mice etc, they are also technically not under control once they are off your property.

Animals are animals and you can't humanize them, they work differently.

Its just one of those really shitty things to happen with no one really to blame, although the owner of the dog sounds like a cunt!

I feel for Nial and Meggan but all they can do is make sure they're garden is 100% secure for the dogs and grieve.
I do really hope they are ok!

I’m so happy there’s more on a mental health focus, not looks. I stopped going to the gym as I developed quite an unhealthy relationship with exercise and the gym, and while I was quite fit, my body didn’t change much and got me down and upset. Meggan is the one fitness influencers I’ve stuck with as I feel it’s never been about looks with her.

Y
Totally agree with you on this and this is why I love Meggan as a fitness influencer. Shenever talks about "looking good" from exercise or any particular body type. She always talks about exercise making her feel better mentally and I just love that she even exercises in her pyjamas or dressing gown sometimes for me, she is the most likeable youtuber and "fitness influencer"

 

[Katleesi]

Idk why but she strikes me as a beggy girl after male attention with all this half naked content even though she has a partner.... so confused.

 

[Alexi92]

She soon got over her cat dying

I’m sure she still thinks about Poppy and misses her but what do you expect her to do…? Her socials are a tiny part of her day.

 

[NoseyNeighbourNextdoor]

Agreed. It really frustrates me that influencers get so much for free. It really puts me off wanting to purchase something from that company. I love Meggan but that annoyed me too lol.
I think she keeps hinting at wanting free stuff from the white company too because she always goes on about in autumn winter; always shows what she's bought, tags them and makes a point of saying she's just bought them

I’m glad it’s not just me who feels this way.

like I say I do normally like her, but recently it’s a bit of a struggle. Like the way she keeps mentioning her tough week. She’s said she legally can’t discuss it, but keeps bringing it up. I don’t understand why? Does she want to be sent some self care packages? Is she just trying to tease people so they keep inboxing her asking? Either say what it is or don’t, but don’t mention it everyday followed up with sorry I can’t discuss it!

 

[Booboo17]

It's so annoying when she does this. Secret project.
If its secret don't mention it

 

[hannahroséy]

oh my god this is awful, they could have at least put her in a box or something but a bin bag like shes rubbish? Disgusting.

I know! Or even wrapped her in a towel?!? And apparently she had died at 6pm Saturday and the neighbours came round and told them the next afternoon?? Poor little thing

 

[lashesfordayz]

The fact that Niall took that video knowing exactly what she was doing makes me cringe even more

I have to say me too. She used to be pretty frugal and I found that relatable and nice but she is starting to become unrelatable with her lifestyle. Her life is a literal dream.. she has everything she ever wanted not to mention being absolutely gorgeous and she dose seem to be moaning about things a lot more. I know she is only human and has struggles like everyone else but I do think she is starting to loose touch with how lucky she is! x
