This Fitness Tik Tok Drama is MESSY…(stolen ideas)

No way we are pretending that watching a movie whilst on a treadmill is a new thing??? Literally so many treadmills nowadays have tvs on them solely for that purpose????

Never heard of cozy cardio until now

she does not "own" the idea of cozy cardio as its not a new concept but I think its weird that the news channel led Hope on as if she was going to be the main segment, and thats the main issue

Create what!!!. They both did not “create it”! We all had our treadmill and bike station in front of the tv since forever!!!

At this point, it feels word “cozy” is cursed or something

Insane so shady they could have easily featured both women

Come on now....I knew about cozy cardio or lazy cardio from Pinterest since 2016..nothing new...why are Tiktokers and influencers always so pressed about "their" ideas...at this point we seen it all

That was a total Kardash grab!!! I feel really badly for her!!! As usual the networks went with the “Perfect size 4”🙄

I’m not going to justify her stealing content, I can say that I may know why they picked her. I’ve worked in marketing and this happens quite a bit. They picked the fitness influencer bc she fits the viewer demographic majority (aged 25-50+) She’s in her 30s, a working mom of multiple. I’m pretty sure they were aware that Hope was the creator bc they did a feature before, but what’s gonna be more appealing to the audience of 30-40 something yr old working moms? A 20 something girl with no kids that’s anxious at the gym or a 30 something mom of 3 that can’t make it to the gym? Yes, she stole her concept and ran with it. It may have become popularized in her community of moms and such but that does not justify her stealing content and claiming it as her own. As far as the feature on TODAY goes, that’s all marketing. It sucks, but it happens.

Megan Roup has also been sued by Tracy Anderson for stealing her method as well. She used to work as a trainer for TA so this is not the first time she has been called out on stealing someone else's work and calling it her own.

Hope’s “cozy cardio” actually looks cozy. When I first saw it on TikTok I instantly thought, ok that’s something I can do. Megan’s “cozy” is not giving cozy at all, her videos are all aesthetically pleasing and make me feel like I need to be put together before I can start to work out. That’s one of the things I struggle with these influencers.

Not to mention, all of us trainers are learning from the SAME certifications! There aren’t a million different ways to get a smaller waist and a big butt I PROMISE! Movement selection isn’t a wide spectrum. It shouldn’t be, simplicity is what delivers results. Fitness influencers just bank on the fact that people don’t realize how simple it can be

As an online trainer, I can promise you you’re going to get something very similar from another trainer if you buy a program for the same goals. The industry isn’t meant for this many people banking on the exact. Same. Routines

I mean, at the end of the day, it's just walking in your room while watching tv. I've done it before, a lot of people did it before. She only gave it a name. It's absurd to chase other creators over it, though I understand they could at least give her a little shoutout.

an influencer is always an influencer, no matter what side of tiktok they are on

I just went to check out Megans tiktok and her comments are off.. says a lot

I am so sorry to break it to you, but she did not invent cozy cardio that has been a thing since the beginning of time 😂 the way people take normal every day things and try to say they invented it

In the Interview she literally said that she saw the Trend happen on tiktok, sooo i don't feel like she just stole it, she didn't even say that it was her idea 😅

Apparently I stole cozy cardio too since I’ve been doing for a decade wo giving credit several years into the future 💔 It’s something that’s existed for a long ass time if you have the privilege to own gym equipment, which one of the main pluses is being able to wear, watch, do, drink, etc whatever you want & light a candle to cover up your BO while exercising & dim the lights since the gym lights are so bright. I feel like making it a trademark or claiming you invented it, is like trying to claim something that’s existed for literal years. Just bc you just recently came across it doesn’t mean it’s yours. Yeah it sucks w the tv station issue but claiming the other creator stole your idea & getting mad at her for what the tv station did is garbage.

I never heard of cozy cardio. Also she didn’t invented the concept. She named it but did not invent it. I know people that been working out like that for years in the comfort of their of their at home gym.
