Thank you so much for listening to my talk! I hope it encourages you to see the strength in your journey and appreciate your own resilience no matter what life throws your way. Let me know what you thought in the comments below! I'm very eager to hear it!

This woman is there , day and night holidays and weekdays everyday for us.. team sydney all the way...and BREATHEEEEE....

Sydney, I did my first workout with you last March, after everything shut down. After that, I realized that you could help me more than any gym membership, and I never went back. I'm in the best shape of my life, and it's comforting (and motivating) to know that, every morning when I get up, you are there to greet me with a new workout, and a positive message. I live to see you dance at the end of each workout...it allows me to start the day with a smile. Thanks for everything you and Dustin do for all of us!

I am proud of you my Trainer. You really are not just transforming me physically but also as a human. Thank you sooo much

Sydney Cummings Our Inspiration!

Hello Miss Sydney Cummings God bless you and Dustin both. Stay Strong and never give up!!! Wishing you nothing but the best. Forever Together.

I do Sydney's workouts everyday and they help me through my daily struggles. I am inspired by you Sydney and I'm happy I found your channel. I will never give up.

You have changed so many lives sydney. He would be so proud of you. YOU should be so proud. I wouldn't be who I am without you. I'm positive so many could say the same. THANKYOU for everything.

Sydney is a blessing to this world!

Ahh Sydney..Your resilience story is always heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I’m so proud to be part of your squad. What a beautiful speech.

Sydney, you’re amazing. I discovered you a year ago and I’m so thankful for it everyday when I workout with you! I also played a sport at the D1 level and I too have had obstacles in my life that have pushed me to never give up. You’re talk today and everyday at the end of your workouts inspire me more than you could know. Thank you for existing and doing what you do. The likelihood of you seeing my comment is slim but really I hope you know that you have changed my life along with many others!

❤️ I always love you, Sydney See you everyday on youtube it’s 3 years ago. I will support you forever my trainer 🙏❤️🥰 from Bangkok, Thailand

In life the choice will always yours .. Either give in or never give up.. Powerful ...

Fabulous and inspirational, thank you. My husband and I have been doing your workouts together in our shelter in place. You mean so much to us. You are part of our daily habits. So grateful for you

Oh my God, what a queen Sydney is.

Best trainer to ever come by! She has given me more than just daily workouts. She has shown me i can be the strongest version of my myself and taught me how to truly love who i am. Sydney is the best! Highly recommend checking her workouts out!

I've heard her story at least 50 times and each time it's beautiful. I have followed Sydney and worked out with her everyday for the last year and I never miss a post, podcast or reel. She is beautiful inside and out and I am so happy for her and Dustin!

I love you! Been with you on KZfaq for more than a year now . You've not only changed my body but you have changed the way I look at my life! You showed and taught me that nothing is too hard or too out of reach! I am a dentist. I deal with emergency cases on daily basis and I used to question my ability all the time! Back then ,I knew I was good but somehow I didn't appreciate my abilities.However,these days because of you,there is no negative thoughts! And I feel like I am invincible .So,thank you my dear! Love you!❤❤❤

So amazing to watch. Thankyou Sydney, your so inspiring.

Wow! Sydney your story is amazing and love your workouts. Thank you for showing up & being you. You are living a legacy and changing lives, minds, bodies & souls.

You're are my HERO Sydney.. Your speech made me cry but at the same time make me think the person I've become over the years. We DO NOT give up, We are RESILIENT. You truly inspire me in my everyday life and I cannot thank you enough for that. 🙏🏼💪🏼😘

honestly sydney has changed my life so much 🥺❤️ i remeber a few months ago i was in a state of mind were i would just always be disappointed in my self. I would constantly binge eat and at the end of the day i would cry myself to sleep regretting what i did. I felt like i was in a bubble, stuck and lost. I was always mad at myself and i thought that i would never get out. It affected me so much and its sad how I went through that at a young age where i should be happy with no worries. Until one day i decided that enough was enough and i changed my life around. I started eating better and told my self that I can do this. my sister told me about sydney and ever since then I've been so happy and with less insecurities. THANK YOU sydney so much! i don't know what i would do without you!❤️

Sidney unknowingly helped me through the pandemic in 2020 with her daily, energizing and positive workouts. I no longer go to my gym, the results of her training superseded years of daily workouts. I am grateful and blessed to have come across her when was depressed, lethargic and sad. Thank you Sidney, may God bless and protect you always

What a beautiful soul. Every morning, she shines like the sun, I honestly love this woman's attitude and look up to her.

NEVER GIVE UPPPPPP!!!!!!!♥️🙌🏼 love you Sydney!!!!!!!

Sydney, all I can genuinely say is; me tienes en lágrimas... I say it in Spanish because is how I find more feeling to the words. Yet these tears are of admiration and the even more respect I hold towards you! Words cannot describe how great of a human being you are or the kindness you share. From what I can tell, I have a lot of growing to do as an individual. Muchas gracias for the inspiration!!!

Sydney had such an huge impact on my last 5 months. I can‘t imagine where I would be in this ongoing lockdown without her daily encouragement ❤️

Sydney I found you after my C-sec surgery. I was always a sporty girl nd always into exercising ,games sports nd aftr the surgery nd stitches I felt I'll NVR be able to go back md even do basic skipping . I had lost all hopes from me though it was a basic surgery .people would talk now u can't ever do this or tht . That is whn I found you , I came to know your battles u fought ...I strtd following you nd u made the exercise so easy nd fun way for me ...I strtd doing the least intensity of wht u would say ..it's gonna be some 10 months me following you nd I lost 7 kg postpartum with you nd I can again pick those heavy dumbells , skip do high intensity ...u gave back the previous me to me . I always wish u succeed nd become more stronger coz wd your strength you inspire all of us and wd tht inspiration we all also become strong . Much much love to you and Dustin coz he has been a real man supporting you through all low days . Thankyou for all keep uploading .

you're the real fighter Sydney. Thank you 🥰

Sydney you are my hero. I am unable to put into words how grateful am for you. Your strength and resilience and positivity influence millions like me. It's such a big commitment to show up every day for all of us for which I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt gratitude. You are the one who truly helped me become a fitter, stronger, and more positive version of myself. Not being a physically active kid in my early days and struggling with another professional aspect of my life (studying to become a doctor) you have been the greatest help. I pray that you achieve great heights. Thank you from India

She is everything. Just thankyou Sydney

You're the best! Thanks for everything, Sydney!

We 💜 you Sydney!

Sydney has been a life-changer

God bless you Sydney!! We love YOU!!!

Sydney, you're amazing! It's a treat to listen to you and of course to work out with you. So glad I found you on the internet! Upwards and onwards ❤️

Sydney, her spirit, resiliency and consistency in showing up for us has seen me through my own personal tragedy in the last year. So thankful for her and the bright light that she shines in the world.

So proud to call you my personal trainer 😘

This brought tears to my eyes. Your story is so heartbreaking yet so inspirational! So proud to be part of the Sydney Squad! ❤💙💜

I LOVE this woman so much. she's literally changing my life

I've been doing your workouts with you since you first began. I always loved your positive energy and genuine nature. I remember how fast it seemed like you returned after your accident, and that right there shows how detached I must have been at the time but also that you made it seem so easy that maybe none of us really realized your true struggles. You give so much of yourself and I know it has to be hard work both physically and mentally, but it's also a win win. You help millions of people just like me live healthier lives and to be honest, your workouts and upbeat nature distracted me from difficult mornings in my life so imagine how many people you get through each day just being yourself! I am thrilled to see your success, you deserve every piece of it!

I’m in tears, I needed to hear this...I’ve just experienced my second miscarriage and honestly don’t know what is motivating me. People say this will make me better at my job (mental health clinicians) but I want to first show up for myself, which means taking a step back and taking a break just to be and live. I’m not sure what’s in store for me, but I’m quitting my high trauma and high stress job. I suppose the thing helping me rn. Is the fact that I know this isn’t the end bc I’ve endured so much tragedy. Beautifully spoken, thank you Sydney for all that you do❤️ I’ve been working out with you for over a year and am grateful to have you as a constant positive source of light in my life

Sydney we Love you! Thank you for all you do for us!

I love your workouts, and I love your positivity. Thank you for everything Sydney, you’re truly an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sydney has been my inspiration ever since I discovered her channel last March! She’s so strong. What a story and incredible human being.

Sydney I was introduced to you in January and I haven’t stopped watching you since thank you for always motivating and giving strength when I feel my lowest. I respect you so much more you truly are amazing ❤️✨ thank you for being an amazing trainer!

You are truly amazing and Im so proud to call you my coach my PT..your inspiration speeches gives me motivation to get through my day! To change my mindset and keep going and making positive changes.

So inspiring Sydney! Your brother would be so incredibly proud of you. ♥️ you are the best trainer on KZfaq!

Thank you Sydney I continue to feel my late sister that I lost through Pancreatic Cancer through your workouts on a daily basis. This was her motto never give up. I lost her on May 9th 2020 and I believe she sent you to me.

You are so strong Sydney . I love everything about you.

We love you, Sydney!

Beautiful speech 🎤 Thank you for sharing,I’m so lucky being in your squad!!!

It’s not often that I watch videos and not multitask. This talk stopped me in my tracks, I was completely transfixed! A super engaging story and extremely inspiring. Thank you for sharing Sydney. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺💕

❤️❤️love you Sydney and Dustin! Thank for showing up for me everyday and helping me get through some of the hardest times in my life. You’ve changed my life for the best❤️❤️happy, healthy, and stronger💪💪

Syndey is the best! In case you are wondering, her workouts are awesome. I've been doing them for over a year now. I'm glad she was able to overcome all the pain and keep living.

Love you Sydney! So proud of you and the community you’ve built!

Thank you for sharing your story, I’m glad to see you well.

I have followed Sydney for two years now and I knew her story but this moved me to tears. Sydney you came across so well and you should be so proud of this moment xx

Thank you Sydney. I’m so happy to have recently discovered your channel. I love your workouts and your uplifting personality. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring me.

Love you Sydney thank you for all you do

Such a beautiful human! Thank you for sharing your story! And you are right! The choice is always OURS!! Wishing you the best!

Thank you, Sydney❤️🙏! You are amazing! Your workouts are so great and help me getting stronger!🤗

Iam honoured to have you as my trainer and as a part of my journey of overcoming, Nietzsche said that life is about overcoming and affirming life and saying yes to life no matter what happened and embrace life with it ups and down because the essence of the world is will to power , to have that will means to find meaning beyond pain and suffering and accept it as a part in life as a essential part to find who we are , we cant gow and thrive in our life with out pain , and what define us not the past but our attitude about what had happened, for me working out was a my way to find my will to power sydenycummings was the one who choose me iam grateful to have you in my life ,we are not victims of our pasts but rather survivors 🙏❤💪

Dear Sydney, I’m an Iranian girl from NYC who started to practice with your training some months ago. You are perfect I enjoy working out at home with you because your exercises are so unique and functional👌🏻 after all I saw this ted talk from you which meant a lot for me because I felt like I’m in a same page with you. I lost my dear brother some years ago after 1 month being in coma and I understand how does it feel. You’re strong and inspiring and I’m so glad and honored to follow such a lovely powerful trainer.🙏🏻 thank you 💕

Thank you Sydney❤️❤️❤️❤️ for helping making me strong every day , stronger together 💪💪

You did such a great job sharing your story and being personally transparent with us Sydney. I am so sorry for the tragedies in your life. Such a heartache to lose your brother and a terrible trauma to be shot!! I am very proud of you how you used your pain to do good in this world. Your positivity motivates us all and is such an inspiration. Without a doubt personal pain can make us more empathetic and caring human beings. We always have an opportunity to build and grow our character through difficulties. Thank you again for your helpful daily workouts and inspirational comments. Your smile and positivity keeps me coming back to you. Your routines outshine my workouts at the gym by a long shot. I found you on KZfaq in the middle of lockdown and I am so happy to have you as my trainer. I no longer need the gym with my setup at home. Keep up the awesome work!

Huge respect to you Sydney, love you ❤️

I totally cried watching this Sydney. I’m such a softy. Lol. I used to be a self proclaimed couch potato, but in Jan of 2020 I decided to make a change. I was 5ft 2 in and 195 pounds. I found some free workouts on KZfaq but around May of 2020 I found you. I had never done weight training before but it has honestly made a huge difference in terms of sticking to my fitness goals this time around. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds since May to now for a total of 55 pounds since Jan. I suffered a stroke at 36 on November 3. Yup Election Day. I did not loose my mobility on my Left side thanks to my husbands quick thinking and a drug called TPA. I really credit you Sydney with taking care of me before and after my stroke. Had I not been training with you already. I really don’t think I would have been as successful in my recovery. I was a 4 vs 5 (left vs right) after my stroke. I just had a follow up and I’m back at 5 and 5 on both sides according to my PCP. Words will never be able to express my immense gratitude. You really did change my life. Thanks you Sydney.

So proud of my favorite trainer !!!

FAVORITE PERSON EVER!!!❤️💪🏼🥰🙏🏼

I’m so proud of Sydney. She is a real life example of what not giving up actually means. She is such a great person and a trainer. She is the key factor that I am now able to transform my life. ❤️

You are the best trainer!

Sydney, resilience is an understatement when using it to define you. It is an honour and a privilege to have been a viewer of your journey. You inspire me to become the best possible version of myself every. Single. Damn. Day. I won’t lie, I was crying throughout the entire video. Your strength is intoxicating ❤️ thank you for all that you do, and for who you are!

Watching this, I got chills, because all I could think is “This is my trainer who has changed my life.” Sydney, myself and so many others, applaud your strength in never giving up and also showing up for us every day! You’re healthy, you’re happy, and most importantly, you’re strong!

Thank you Sydney for the amazing workouts and letting us know that it's up to an us to make the most of any situation. Sorry for your loss. Never stop making videos and motivating everyone.👍

Sydney you beautiful amazing human! Just finished watching your Ted talk and I am overwhelmed with appreciation for a remarkable person like you being my trainer you are truly an inspiration and have helped me so much in my fitness journey and in my personal journey. Wishing you and Dustin so much love and happiness💕

Your speech made me cry even though I heard about your brother's story many times now. I feel I'm a different person now ever since I train with you mid of last year, I'm a stronger person mentally and physically. I can't thank you enough for the workouts every single day. I truly look forward to it first thing in the morning and crush the workout with you! Thank you!

You are absolute gold. What an inspiration!

Sydney you are becoming one of my all time favorite people. I knew you were special, but wow lady. I needed to hear this today, and there it was a post in the squad. God works in strange ways, he knows I need to turn my pain into purpose. Thank you for putting it all out there, your an inspiration. I'm so sorry you lost your brother, I did to recently. I'm gonna turn that pain into something productive. God bless!

You are an inspiration with so much passion and resilience. A beautiful talk powerfully delivered with heart and soul. It has been an honour to follow you for the past 2 years, I do not miss a workout and have grown so much stronger, healthier and happier because of you and Dustin and all that you have given to this community. Don't give up and live with purpose. Sydney and Dustin, you both deserve the best that life offers. It is so amazing to see your hard work pay off.

I found you when the pandemic started and I don’t plan to stop. Thank you. ❤️

You are amazing Sydney, I’ve found about a year ago and I’ve been doing your workouts since then! Besides your workouts your motivational talk is amazing . 🙏💪

Thank you, Sydney. I look forward to my time with you each day. Your positivity is more motivating than the workouts itself.

So inspiring! You are strong and beautiful!!! So lucky to have found you!!! ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I only found you a few weeks ago but I've been doing your workouts daily ever since. You radiate positivity and strength that goes deeper than just your workouts. I could tell there was something very sincere and special about you. Keep shining.

I introduce you to everyone in my circle lol. You are awesome! I’ve been doing your workouts for months now and I love it. I’ve been off sick this week but I can’t wait to get back. Great Ted Talk, very motivating and inspiring. I pray God’s continual blessings over you and your love ones🙏🏾

So, I happened upon Sydney not quite a year ago yet when I was looking for an upper body workout with weights. I found the one where you progressively increase the number of reps over 90 seconds. It was a while yet before I looked at her other workouts. What I loved though from that first video that I saw was how positive she was, and also how she was just as exhausted as me (albeit her weights were definitely heavier than mine). It comes across so well that she does relate to us. Even in her workouts, I don't know how she knows cos she can't see us, but when I feel like this is too hard, she will say something relating to how I am feeling in that moment, and it's not a fluke, or one off, it's nearly every time. Or even a comment about form just as I realise my bum is creeping up in a plank. Sydney knows what we go through cos she goes through it too. Hearing about her brother was emotional, I don't know how she got through that without crying. I am inspired by Sydney. I was resilient before I found her, I don't know if I have the same attitude or positivity that she has, but I admire it in her also. And I want to thank her because her workouts are free and I have been doing them consistently since May 2020. I have increased my weights, and actually do now need to increase again. Since doing her workouts (along with a few others -Joe Wicks, Fitness Blender, Pahla B and Kat Francois) and also watching what I eat, I have lost 3.7 stone. My Mum passed away in February of last year and for a long time I was not eating healthy and drinking alcohol while not everyday, more often than I should or usually did, and even before that it was too much anyway. My brother started exercising and we would just share workouts with each other or meal planning ideas too. I honestly hated waking up after Mum passed away. I dreaded living in a world without her and would have happily died myself just to be with her. But, like Sydney, something in me didn't give up and you do have to keep on keeping on. You have to survive in order to thrive!

The best trainer ever! We'll follow you anywhere Sydney! X0X0X

Love you so much Sydney you've changed my life.❤

Amazing woman! If she can do it, we all can.

Sydney your truly amazing! This made me teary eyed! I've been doing your workouts for a while now and It changed everything! I feel so great about myself because of you !!!

You are amazing Sydney!!!

I am proud of you Sydney.always love and respect you.stay blessed always 💞

Thank you for sharing your trauma with us. In September I lost my 54 year-old brother and best friend to Stage 4 Melanoma. In March I lost my dad to Stage 4 Lung Cancer. My heart is broken and consumed with grief, but what other choice do I have but to embrace this beautiful world, put one foot in front of the other, and grow stronger. Fitness has been my salvation during this tragic time. I always get so much energy from the positivity that shines through when you train us.

That's my Trainer!!!! Isn't she just awesome?!!! Your squad loves you. I can honestly say , you have changed my life .

This moved me to tears , you are awesome! Love your workouts and your pep talks. Your resilience is a game changer. Wishing you much health and happiness for years to come💪☘️

I remember that first workout you came back after the shooting. A month later I injured my foot running and modified for months because I couldn’t do anything that required jumping or being on my toes. I met you in NYC soon after and the day I got home I committed to working out with you every day. Happy to say that now, almost 2 years later, I still work out with you daily and I’m back to running too. Your resilience has been inspiring. I’m sure I speak for many when I say thank you for sticking out the hard times. It has been so important to have a constant in my life, especially this last year.

Sydney you are so incredibly inspiring 💗 ... in more ways you can imagine ❤. Thank you! 😊💕

That's my trainer!! I love her!! She's the best!! I show up everyday for her workouts. I love her story and how motivational she is. Helps me everyday to never give up.
