I also have to thank Cody for helping me turn my life around. About 5 months ago, my gf of 7 years and I broke up. I was depressed, 50 lbs over weight and hated life. Cody Trains got me to start walking outside in the mornings. Then those walks turned into half jogs, and now I'm running 4-5 days a week. I'm 15 lbs lighter, feel amazing, and just ran my first 10K this past weekend! Couldn't have done it without this channel. Thanks for everything, we ascend together, CHOO CHOO!

I went for my first run because of Cody, and I twisted my ankle. Thanks Cody

"Are you Cody Ko?" "No I'm Cody Trains right now."

I'm only 22 but I was born with a couple heart defects and last September, my doctors said my condition worsened significantly and I'll need open heart surgery in the near future. This was difficult emotionally (for obvious reasons), but thankfully this channel started shortly after the diagnosis and I've watched every episode since. It's been a huge inspiration and in February I started running for the first time since I was a kid. In fact, I stopped driving completely and bike to work every day. In May, right after your Ironman, I was inspired to do my own challenge so I started training for a half marathon, doing 12+ miles weekly averaging 9 min pace. Shortly after, my doctors told me I could run but I must avoid raising my heart rate over 150 BPM. I had to stop training for the half marathon, but I've continued biking to work. This week, I just ran a total of 12 miles (three 4 mi runs) for the first time since my doctors limited my heart rate. I'm averaging 11:30 pace, to stay completely under 150 BPM (which is fucking frustrating,) but I have no plan to stop running or biking! Thanks cody

I appreciate that Cody’s reading comments. It’s important to know that we all have different starting points and different goals ❤

Hi Cody! My husband, our 13 month old daughter and our dog have been going on walks/hikes twice a day all summer and after seeing your Ironman training with all the swimming , you inspired me to even start swimming which I try to sneak in during my daughters naps. Nothing crazy but I try to be consistent. Being a first time mom has been really tough to find time for myself so finding time to swim has been so helpful and I’m so much happier on the days I am able to squeeze some laps in. Thank you for always encouraging your audience to be the best versions of themselves.

As a trans-person I've never really felt like my body belonged to me but these videos have inspired me to take control. I have top surgery coming up within a year and am working towards my first marathon along with some strength training to help masculinize my upper body. This channel is the reason I started to believe I was capable of taking my body back and I will forever be grateful. 🚂🚂

As it seems like many others do, I owe you a sincere bout of gratitude, Cody. Around five months ago I experienced some major life changes (found out my long-term partner had been cheating for years- woohoo) and was forced to move back across the state with my parents at 23 with nothing but my dog and the belongings that could fit into my car. After stumbling on this channel I decided to give running a go as something to take my mind off things and promised to stay consistent with it. Since starting I now run around 4-5 days a week, have lost about 25 pounds, ran a 5k, have a 10k next week, and will be signing up for a half marathon once I wrap the 10k. Seeing you constantly putting in the work and getting better in each video has been so inspiring to me, and continues to push me even on the days I would have rather layed in bed and cried. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring me to invest in my health and change things for the better when I felt I hit rock bottom. We ascend together!! :)

Energy is everything… and so is two suckles of water.

I have an 8 week old baby and I feel fitter just watching these, so excited to get the chance to train again! Thank you for the motivation!

running my first 5k tommorow after 5 months of running :)

I've been having severe mental health issues the last couple of years (started when I stopped running cross country). When you started your channel, I saw how excited and passionate you were with just exercising, emphasising the wonderful feeling that rushes over you after your run, bike or swim. I started running regularly ever since that first video almost one year ago now. I am now training for my first triathlon and I'm super fucking excited. Thanks for staying fired up, keep spreading that flame.

These videos have honestly become such big part of my week, they always come out right when I get back from the gym and I watch them while I'm having dinner. It's a ritual at this point and it's quite nice to be reminded that there are other people working towards their fitness goals just like you. I kinda miss the catch phrases to be honest though, "energy is everything" and "good morning, blessed day" were awesome

Hi Cody! Your channel motivated me to start running. In January when I started I couldn’t even run a mile. Today I ran 12 miles with some friends and I feel great! I have about 2 weeks until my first half-marathon and I’m pumped!!

for someone who talks about loving food a lot, Cody really doesn't eat much. Also more cat content pls

6:03 this is so real, wanting to hang out more but the other friend says they don't want to in a a respectful way

Sorry for some possible grammatical error. im from iran. im 31 now and i was on a gymnastics team since i was 7 . i shattered my ankle when i was training for the national team Selection competitions. i was 16 . That got me depressed and completely unmotivated. i started to gain weight rapidly and it got to the point that i didn't care anymore. last year i was 112 kg and i hated myself. i stopped looking at myself in the mirror and my mental health got very dark . 7 month ago i decided that i had to change my life or I'm not gonna see my 40s . i started training again after a long time and a couple month ago i started watching cody and his journey and it was a good motivation for me to see him do all this amazing achievements and keep going higher and higher. i lost 46 kg in 6 month. im in the best shape of my life and i feel so much better now . thank you cody . keep on cho cho-ing . ENERGY IS EVERYTHING

I finally ran my first full mile on the treadmill the other day. I’ve never been able to run a mile without walking in my life until then. I definitely think your videos have been helping me, not just in an inspirational way, but also tip-wise, I’ve been learning how to enjoy running, how to practice running, and how to treat my body better. I’ve been dealing with an ED for a long time now and I’m starting to build a healthier relationship with food and working out and a lot of it is thanks to this channel. I’ve been a subscriber for a really long time and the more you started talking about working out the more I realized I should be pushing myself to do better. Thank you, Cody, for the inspiration and help along the way.

Used to be a swimmer in high school and was always in tip top shape. I was always really bad at running so naturally i stuck to swim, until I graduated and eventually put an end to that chapter. Seeing these vids inspired me to tackle my weakness of running and eventually use my swim background to do a triathlon! I’ve signed up for a trail half marathon and tbh I’m kinda intimidated but we gotta keep the train goin! CHOO CHOO

I started running again after 6 years because of this channel and all your accomplishments. I started going to the gym regularly about a year ago and I wasn't seeing any results until training to run again. Thank you so much for being not only an inspiration to me but to all the people who watch.

YK it’s gunna be a good day when CODY POST 😫

Hey Cody. I felt disappointed in myself this May. So I started walking every day for a couple of kilometers, didn't have any goals just wanted to clear my mind. Mid June I saw that you had completed an Ironman, that gave me the motivation to start running and now almost 3 months have passed. My first-ever half-marathon race will be this Sunday. Next year I want to run a full marathon, but still need more time to prepare for that. I never was a runner and this is all because of You. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

i feel more energized when i work out in the morning and it gives me the rest of the day to catch up on stuff or just relax. the only time i work out in the afternoon or at night is when i have work and really don't feel like working out after but end up pushing myself to get up and train choo choo!!

As a husband and new father (3 month old baby boy), Cody helps motivate me to keep my training up. I’m an avid runner but ever since having our baby I haven’t trained as much. Recently though as crazy as it seems, if I’m sleep deprived and go for a run, I have more energy to keep taking care of our baby. Cody’s training won’t be just for him anymore, but will be to the benefit of his family!

I know this is mainly all about working out but I want to thank you Cody for all of your videos. I’m 23 and your videos have consistently given me joy and peace in some of the darkest moments of my life. To say I’m struggling mentally is an understatement but your videos make things like even eating so much more manageable. As someone with no parents, family, and alone in a new state this fan base has given me a sense community. Listening to how compassionate you are with yourself inspires me to do the same. My life so far has been about others so seeing someone like you take the time to take care of you and do what you love gives me faith that I can do the same. Your videos are a breath of fresh air and they’re healing in so many ways. Thank you Cody (-:

Something about this channel is so comforting. I've been watching you for years and I never would've thought you'd be such a motivating and inspiring presence on my health journey. Thank you! To anyone who is commenting their personal story and might stumble upon this comment I want you to know I am very proud of you and I'm very much rooting for you!! Keep up the good work! ❤

Love the new segment at the end! I’ve suffered from a lot of pain in my leg & back which has stopped me from doing spin classes. It can be really discouraging sometimes, but with months of physio I’m finally able to do the treadmill again, and maybe get back to spin class soon, so Kirsten’s comment is really inspiring to me. Sending you lots of love & support Kirsten! 🩷🩷

hi i’m 23 and was very much in the Big Sad a few months ago and watching this channel helped me start running, i went from barely being able to run a mile to running 4 miles yesterday, good stuff. whenever it feels bad i think about you literally gagging while running by that sewage plant.

I just want to have a family full of Ironman and women like you. Your story of your parents and sister completing the challenge is so awesome. I’ve completed a sprint tri last month and my 2nd is on 9/17. Then I’m biking 100 miles for an MS Foundation in Oct and my first half marathon is scheduled for Nov. I’m also registered for my first 70.3 next July in Maine. Starting is one thing, and it’s hard, but once you do, the next challenge is how to keep going and staying motivated. I very much appreciate your content and I always look forward to new videos. It’s the perfect balance between goofball humor, on-going training, food creations and random adventures. Your life is pretty awesome so thanks for taking us on board the Cody-train!

Aw Cody you are awesome! Love the impact you're making with this channel. I haven't been exercising because there was a few months where I couldn't afford my gym passes and I find it very hard to motivate myself to workout at home. For those months I felt so crappy and my lower back pain was getting worse and worse. I finally got back to the gym and it has been hard to do what I used to, but I am excited to get moving again. Choo motherfuckin choo!!!

Thanks for all the content guy, you’re a hard worker and bring lots of smiles to my face 😊

I couldnot watch your old videos on this channel due to my exams and i just finished binge watching all 4 videos . AND YOU POST THIS ONE PERFECT !

it's so nice to read how inspirational and helpful such simple videos Cody uploads can be to people. constant positive vibes in the videos and the comment section is so heartwarming to read and watch. keep it up everyone

I bought a bike and started working out because of this channel cody, ive been loving biking and went from barely being able to do 5k rides to averaging 15k in a couple weeks! I love this channel, more bike content soon pls

i’ve been watching your training journey since you first started this channel and it has helped me through my fitness journey tremendously! i used to have the most anxiety going to the gym to the point where i would just be having panic attacks and sit in the bathroom then leave and not come back for weeks. but when you started training i finally felt like i wasn’t alone in struggling with any type of fitness and i’ve been going to the gym 5x a week since then. and i am now training for a 10k that’s in 3 weeks and it’s been so amazing watching your progress as well as mine and i know you don’t know me but you have helped me more than you will ever know or understand. thanks for putting yourself out there and always pushing yourself to do more. choo choo!

The clap at the end of the Athletic Greens ad is giving Adam Jockle

This channel has been an inspiration to me as I prepare for a half marathon in 6 days. My training has been rough, and my confidence has ebbed and flowed throughout. Tack those feelings onto a few years of injuries and health issues, and I have been feeling down as the day rapidly approaches. Then you post a video, and suddenly that washes away. Thanks for all that you do.

I love watching these after my monday long runs 😊 Keep up the good work Cody (and all the chodesters here)!

I binged all of your Cody trains videos and was super inspired. I signed up for a tough mountain challenge for next year. A 5k obstacle course on a mountain and I’ve started training! Thanks for making training seem normal. That’s my goal as an average Joe to make training seem attainable for anyone and everyone. We ascend together 😄

When I found out about this Cody Trains channel after watching your regular videos on the button and listening to your podcast, I watched almost all of them back to back. Your video on you completing the Iron Man race literally had me in tears by the end. You could feel the emotions and just the raw determination you have for life. You inspired me to actually get up and go outside and do something in my free time other than binge TikTok lol. Five months later and 50lbs down, I’m hiking 2-4 miles 4x a week, lifting weight I never could before, changed my diet and started cooking at home, and actually enjoy moving my body now. So, I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to actually get up and MOVE! P.S. Congratulations to you and Kelsey on becoming parents 😌

I love reading these comments too! Thought I’d share my story. I severely injured my knee when I was 15 and have struggled with chronic pain ever since. To make matters worse, I had to have hip surgery at 23. I never thought I’d be able to be very active. I was always told I could never run. I got into lifting when I was 24 and this year, at 28, I was so inspired by your videos, I picked up running. I still suck at it, and it’s a big struggle. I have my 2nd 5k this week. I’m pretty slow and have to take walk breaks, but hoping I can keep getting better. Thanks for inspiring me to do hard things!

I’ve been following you for years and was thrilled when you started Cody Trains. This summer, I committed myself to run four night trail races in Texas during record heat, gradually increasing in distance all three weeks apart; one 10k, two 20ks, and lastly, a 30k. I placed in both of my first 20ks and got 3rd for my first 30k, all in 100+ temps. I’d like to think I did so well because I was rockin’ some sick Cody Run Club swag, but in reality, thinking of your inspirational content helped me ascend my caboose up those treacherous hills in the middle of the night. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others to keep chugging along and ascend to new heights. CHOO CHOO 🚂✊🏻

Love you Cody! I'm an active person (dance & gym mostly) but I've always hated running specifically, but seeing these videos and the joy running gives to you has really inspired me so I've started to add a weekly run to my routine. I'm even dreaming of doing some sort of a triathlon at some point of my life. Thanks for sharing the highs and lows of your training, these videos are the best way to start the week.

After watching this your countless motivational videos, me and 7 other of my best friends completed a triathlon sprint this past month. It created such a core memory that will stick with us for so many more years. Most of us are now training to complete a full triathlon in Mount Tremblant next spring!

Cody, since you started this channel it's been a weekly motivator - that said, i've been kinda going through it for most of this year and stuggling to get back into the solid routine i had. Seeing you enjoy exercise so much is making me want to get back to that positive headspace so i'm gonna keep pushing! thanks cody

love this channel. i started to do a mile a day this week i’m at 12 miles so far and my goal is 130 miles by the end of the year. you have inspired me to do something about my cardio and not just be complacent thank you

I have really dreaded running because of PE at school. Now I’m doing 5-6 km runs 3 times a week and loving it ! You really inspire me to just move my body without judgement and that being consistent is everything :) thank you for all of your content

Just wanted to leave my own appreciation - I watch your videos every day and it brings me so much joy - you never fail to make me laugh out loud. You have inspired me so much to stay fit and to keep going when I feel like giving up. Thank you Cody!!!

Ran my first 5k today!!!!! This channel inspired me :) thank u

im starting to run and signed up for a 5k in october! youre a big reason im starting!!!! also id love just a gear video or something for the shoes glasses etc. that you use! thank you and keep up the work! look forward to all these vids and they are really inspiring

This channel pushed me to run my first 5k in March, and now I have my first 10k coming up at the end of September. These videos are such an inspiration and have made me passionate about running and my health; thank you!

I love watching these videos every week. Today is Labor Day and I just finished my first 10K ever! These videos were a huge motivator for me getting into running and it feels so amazing to have a fitness goal to strive for. Thank you Cody for sharing this journey with us and look forward to what’s next. P.S. frictionless

aw the ending love that!! Such an inspiring and uplifting channel

I love this. I needed motivation for today, so I watch Cody Train. Going for a walk now.

I just ran my first mile today, something I haven’t done since I was a teenager! And I actually felt good. I started watching these videos as a couch potato and now I’m going to the gym 4-5 times a week and trying to get my weight down to make running easier. I love reading these comments and learning other people’s stories, it helps me keep going. Thank you for the motivation.

Cody! I ran my first half marathon on the weekend (in Sydney). I decided to start running this time last year when I watched your first cody trains video and it has kept me going along the journey. Choo choo ❤️

Your videos help inspire me when I don’t feel like training ❤

Dropping my huge thank you to Cody in the comments! I've never been an active person and always had trouble sticking to a workout schedule consistently. I often gave up a week or two in. I binged some of your training videos about a month ago and decided to finally commit to a goal and start running. I'm running a 5k on Saturday, something I've never done before! I always wrote fitness off in high school and college because I "wasn't athletic." But I've never felt better since I started this! I wake up most mornings to go running with my friend doing this with me, and I feel amazing. The biggest part of your videos that has helped me is knowing that something is better than nothing. It helps keep me motivated even on days I don't quite hit my time or running goal. I've been a fan of yours since 2016 and never would've seen myself doing something like this. My friend and I are working towards a half marathon next fall! Thank you for making these videos, it truly inspires me to keep going, even on days I want to quit. Thank you!!

“Are you Cody Ko?” “No”

I never thought I could run, ever. I tried it before very briefly and would just give up thinking it wasn’t for me. But watching Cody train for the Ironman and listening to the Insanely Chill episode with Danny, hearing him say that there’s no such thing as “not being able” to do something really resonated with me. So, I went out there, got myself some proper shoes and a training plan and I just recently completed a 5k and I’m making my way to a 10k, half marathon and a full marathon. I run practically every day and come back to watch these videos. I love this channel and the changes that it has inspired in my own life. Choo choo! 🚂

Training for my first 70.3 that happening in a couple of weeks 😬 your videos continue to give me the confidence to believe that I can cross that finish line, thank you!

Cody you've helped motivate me to keep up my running (run/walking now lol) and strength training habits through my pregnancy! It makes me feel much better and I even completed a half marathon in my 12th week 😁 hoping to stay strong throughout this last trimester and then get back to marathon training after recovering postpartum! Choo choo 😊

Hey Cody! I remember watching the first video you posted on this channel. I had just started my weight loss/health journey and I cannot thank you enough for what these videos have done for me! I have lost 57 pounds over the last 6 months and have been inspired by your journey a long the way! I started swimming again because of your videos. I started out doing about 30 min in the pool 4 days a week. I am now doing an hour of non-stop laps 6 days a week. I started to do some jogging on the treadmill. The combination of these exercises and watching you train so hard for your iron man has inspired me to sign up for my first triathlon. I am going to be doing a small triathlon in Half Moon Bay! Thank you so much for all the encouragement, and for the many mid-biking screams. This channel has brought me so much joy and inspiration! Keep up the dope work :)

Hi Cody, I actually started watching your videos as of recently and they have inspired me a lot. I don’t do much running but i wanted to start because of you. I started to go on little walks and jogs with my dog and it has really improved both my health and mental health. (I even got my parents to join me in these little walks and I told them about you and your accomplishment of being an Ironman) Thank you for all you do!! WE ASCEND TOGETHER!

Energy is everything

over the past weekend i took part in a charity trek and walked 13 miles. not only is it an achievement physically for me, but training for it was difficult because i really struggle with anxiety and getting outside on my own. before this past month i hadn’t been outside on my own for more than 10 minutes at a time. i definitely want to continue walking and push myself further because it’s had a positive influence on my mental health. i had oats the morning of the trek and thought of you, and when the hills got tough i thought of your mountain hiking advice about getting over the mental block of it feeling daunting. thanks for the motivation and entertainment!

I have my first half marathon on the calendar in November! While I did lift, I didn't run at all before watching your videos. I love seeing you push yourself to become better and prove to yourself that you can do hard things. Now, I've climbed by first 14er, consider 5 mile runs "easy" and have taken 2 minutes off my pace. I love that I'm constantly looking for a new challenge. Thank you for inspiring me!

Last September you inspired me to start running. I’ve never been a runner and i officially completed a 5K last November. I ended up documenting and I will watch my videos from time to time when I feel down on myself. I am now challenging myself to become faster and then moving to a 10K. Thank you for being an awesome inspiration to keep pushing myself! Cho-Cho!! 🚂

I'm so glad you started a comment portion. You have no idea how much this channel helps people. Like me 🙏

I watch anything and everything Cody and Kelsey puts out but these videos are honestly so inspirational to get me back into running 🚂

These videos do so much more than you think! I’m currently training for a half marathon taking place on October 8th and I’m super excited for it. Just 3 years ago I used to weigh 100 pounds more than I do now. By July of 2022 I had lost that weight, feeling great about my athletic abilities, and then I suffered a medial malleolus avulsion fracture and had to be off of my foot for close to 6 months. After the fracture and Physio, it took me 8 months to run a 5K and a month after that to run a 10K. Now, almost 14 months after the fracture, I am running 12K at a 5:00/km pace (the proof is in the Strava). Your videos helped me so much with staying motivated and getting me off my butt on those days where I find it very difficult to get moving. I’ll be choo choo-ing across the finish line of my first half marathon.

I seriously can’t tell you how much you’ve inspired me. A year and 1 month ago I decided to quit a 5 year vaping addiction and I have been clean from it ever since!! One thing that I have been terrified to do since quitting is going for runs because I’ve always been scared that my lungs couldn’t take it. But since watching your videos, I’ve been inspired to start running more and more each week. Little by little my lungs are thanking me for it! I literally feel like my lungs are healing by the day by getting outside and getting my heart rate up in my body moving. So basically I went from struggling to run for 30 seconds to going on 20 minute run/walks everyday and I’m working to run a 5k! Thanks for the vids that keep me going ❤️

Cody, you inspired me to start running and I am so grateful. I am half way on the “Couch to 5K” app. Not sure if that’s exclusive to Australia. Think that’s 3 miles haha. After this it’s on to 10K (6.2 miles). I keep reminding myself that we are naturally active beings! And!! It’s free to walk out your door and run! So good. Energy is everything. We ascend together.

watching these when they first started motivated me to sign up for a half marathon after a 3 year hiatus, which then led me to sign up for my first marathon (NYC in november) in support of sandy hook promise and their efforts to combat gun violence. i am so proud and so excited. thank you for the consistent motivation - as the mileage has gotten longer, these are a weekly dose of positivity and energy... which we know is absolutely everything! we ascend together, choo choo, etc. much appreciated.

these videos have inspired me to start running

Your channel helped motivate me to start running! I used to 100% believe I could never run distance. I just ran my first 5k distance yesterday and am doing a proper 5k race at the end of the month. So excited to have set a goal and hit it, your videos help keep me inspired even on the days when the last fcking thing I want to do is go out for a run

yo cody this is my 2nd year running cross country in high school. I ran my first 5k race of the season last Thursday in a 16:41 on a tough course bringing in first place and a course record. ONLY ONE SEC OFF MY PR. I love watching your videos and Im hoping to push myself to the collegiate level. Im only a sophomore rn though. Keep up the great contnent

Currently training for my first marathon, which happens on Oct 1st. Struggled hard on a 15 mile long run today … felt discouraged about it. But I’m feeling reinvigorated after this video! Thanks Cody

I’m a Ph.D. Student and we can have super weird hours because we have no set schedule. During 2022 I started coming into work later and later and it was having a real negative effect on me and the people around me as I always felt out of it and would work late. The very first Cody Trains videos inspired me to set the New Year’s resolution to wake up at 6 am every weekday so I can get to work at a decent time and make it home early enough to do the other things I enjoy. One of which is now running as watching enough of these videos has got me to sign up for my very first ever half marathon. The coolest part is that I now get the opportunity to run for the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance, a charity that raises money for ovarian cancer research, which is what I do for my Ph.D., and for patient care. Thanks so much Cody truly changed the way I love my life!!

i recently twisted my ankle 7 different ways in 3 different places. ugh. I'm such a burden to my family. thank you for making these videos and inspiring me to keep pressing on. despite the pain I've managed to continue my rigorous schedule and impromptu dance sessions (I was part of the swing dance club in middle school). i hope one day i can get to a point where i can do a half marathon! thanks for your inspiring videos dear Cody.

I’m running my first half marathon next week. I couldn’t run more than 2km’s a few months ago. Thanks for the inspiration Cody 🕊️

Ran my first 5 miles ever yesterday! Been working up from 1 mi to 3 mi so yesterday was big🚂🚂

Been watching the videos from the start and was training for a half marathon, unfortunately tore my ACL and had full reconstruction done in May. I done my first 5k back yesterday and the videos 100% helped keep me motivated throughout rehab 🙌 thanks Cody! Choo choo

I used to play field hockey in High school and after I graduated I suffered a really bad back injury and for 5 years I've been on and off of fitness while gaining lots of weight. I remember when you uploaded the Ultramarathon video, I felt so inspired and have been slowly tallying up the miles! Ran my first trail run 7km race this past sunday and it was amazing! thank you for inspiring me and many others in this comment section to get up and move. ENERGY IS EVERYTHING

Thats awesome that maybe two weeks ago you felt that 7 miles was your wall and now youre saying that 10 miles feels great, soon to be 15! I love watching your progess and dedication, it even inspires me to worker harder in other facets of life

cody ko, sweetest man on the internet

i finally faced my fear of running and running outside and ran a mile outside on saturday and sunday this past weekend. i go to the gym a lot but as someone who is not in good cardiovascular shape (and a little bit chunky) i was always afraid to run-but after reading these comments and watching cody show up for us and himself every week, i finally did it. and it felt amazing! yes i walked sometimes but i was able to push myself and get that great feeling of “i did it anyways”. thank you cody and fellow chodesters for helping me face my fear. ❤

i’m a dancer and since the summer, i’ve been working way harder. always whispering “energy is everything” to myself when it starts to get hard and i’ve grown so much in such a short time. your videos are always so great to watch and thank you inspiring me!

This channel helped me get into a full workout routine at the beginning of this year. I even ran a 5K. I was at my peak in late May, but I had to get my wisdom teeth out and was advised against any rigorous physical activity for a few weeks. I fell out of the habit of working out. The last couple weeks, I’ve just been trying to run a few times a week, not worrying about upper body until I’ve made a habit of working out. This morning I had finished a mile and a half with a 12:45 time. I walked another quarter mile, and was ready to end when I convinced myself to keep pushing forward and run until I hit the 5K mark. The last half-mile was one of the most painful ones I’ve ever run, but I didn’t let it stop me. I finished with a 26:50 time, my best yet. (No incline though so that might be cheating.)

Been watching codytrains since the beginning and so far this year I’ve done my first ever triathlon and first ever half marathon thanks for all the inspo!

I'm a long time watcher of Cody's stuff and TMG so I immediately subscribed to Cody Trains when the first couple vids went up. It was honestly super inspiring to go from listening to Cody talk about running a marathon in 2017 on the original Insanely Chill to where he is today, making the best content on KZfaq by far. I started running and biking again earlier this year and am on track to hit 100 days of not missing a workout, averaging about 35k of running a week and 100k of biking and have never felt better. I've also fixed my sleep schedule and am consistently getting my 8 hours and waking up at 6:30 with a cold shower every morning which has made a huge difference in my productivity and happiness. Also interested on seeing more business stuff on Insanely Chill and cant wait for the My First Million interview with Shaan. Thanks for helping everyone ascend together, CHOO CHOO:)

Cody, I’ve been a fan of yours since college. Every time you uploaded a new video, I would put it on the tv in the living room during dinner and would force either my boyfriend (now husband) or roommates to watch and laugh with me. I’m now serving in the Army on Active Duty, and I was fairly overwhelmed and stressed for the first few months of my new job. When you posted your first video on the Cody Trains channel and talked about taking a chance on yourself and not being afraid of failure, that reignited something in me. I decided to try out for my installation’s Army 10-Miler team. We ran 10 miles as a qualifier and I ended up being one of the top female finishers and actually made it onto the team. Having that mindset has also helped during the daily struggles of training, especially after or before long work days when the last thing I want to do is run. Thank you for bringing a sense of realism and understanding to the world of health and fitness. I head to Washington D.C. in October to compete in the race, and I’ll be ascending and choo-chooing the whole way. P.S. I keep an Energy Is Everything hat on my desk for morale, and my Platoon Sergeant immediately took to the saying. We now quote “EIE” daily, as a way to get through dumb Army things.

I swear Cody and Kelsey are the only KZfaqrs who find it embarrassing when vlogging in public.... then other KZfaqrs. I love their humbleness.

Finally did 4 miles. Training for a half marathon. 30 weeks to go. Your videos keep me inspired. I only started in the beginning of Aug but I know by the end I got this

Love ending with the follower comment! So cute how Codyy Trains has become a little community. Honestly, I feel like Cody's channels are so fun and positive. The most positive place I end up on the internet 🫠

I ran my first half marathon in June inspired by you, and signed up for my first marathon next March!

Thanks for taking on the responsibility of running in my life so that I don’t have to. You’ve inspired me to watch you run instead of going on runs which has given me more time to focus on increasing my cholesterol and blood pressure ❤ but really thanks for motivating us and inspiring us to run

since you started this channel i have started swimming 500 yards 3 times a week, and me AND MY MOM have begun walking daily, we now signed up for our first 5k walk/run this fall! LUV U CORDY

Currently training for my first half marathon because you inspired me!!! All love

Just signed up for my first 5K, love watching these. They are great motivation!
