on Abs
“Now I know why jabbers have defined AF abs. My abs are pulsing lol If anything comes out of this quarantine it will be me with a 6 pack”
“The abs class we did this week left me sore for THREE days. I’ve never experienced this in my life. I played college tennis and have never done a workout that’s left me sore more than two days.”
“Thank you SO much for yet another amazing class. Specifically - your modifications for each move. I can’t fully do every move the advanced way yet and I love that your modifications are doable, STILL HARD AF, and that you don’t make anyone feel bad if they have to modify. Thank you!!”
“I will be having a funeral for my abs tonight because you murdered them.”
“I really appreciate how well you described the movements and the modifications for back/neck. Your explanations and demoing the moves was so well done. Thank you for that.”
“I woke up this morning after abs thinking i wouldn’t feel it because I work out 7 days per week, do group fitness and it take a lot for me to feel sore anymore. I woke up and immediately typed into google “are my ribs broken” because I’ve never been so sore in my core before. Straight up. I am still reeling -- in disbelief. I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut in the BEST way.”
"So crazy how I can see my abs changing with every class I take. Nothing I’ve ever done before has been as effective as Jabs!! Gina, Ali, Sami, Shay: you’re all amazing!!
“Took your hour of abs LAST Sunday and was literally sore till this Sunday and now have an ab line?? Insane.”
“I finally got to take my first class - Abs with Gina this morning - & I couldn't stop smiling. In fact, during hollow holds I was attempting to log on to book future classes. Gina was so much fun, encouraging, and I loved her music.”
“I’m writing this email because I just woke up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT sore already from hour of abs.”
“My abs are legit quivering. Like I’m sitting on the couch doing nothing and they’re quivering this has never happened to me after an abs workout IM FUCKING PUMPED.”
“You’re literally a magician. I’m getting so much stronger yet the classes are still so challenging. It’s literally mind blowing I don’t get how you continue to do it.”
“Just wanted to say thank you and I have loved each of the 4 different formats I’ve taken so far, but especially finally trying an abs class last night! I’m so sore from 35 mins of abs, but also class made me realize that I definitely don’t always engage my core correctly and rely on strength from my arms or other areas (like in the move where we had legs straight up and switched sides raising each arm w weight). The way you explained each move and where we should feel it was SO helpful because I think so many times that’s what is missing in other classes and you don’t even know if you’re doing an exercise right. I’m now even more motivated to keep coming back and honestly really excited to build up my core strength.”
“No need to respond but I wanted to say thank you. First, i’m OBSESSED with your classes!!!!! They are phenomenal. The actual highlight of my day. Second, you are a fitness genius. No matter how hard I workout, I always hold fat in my midsection. For the past year I’ve been working out 6 days a week doing cycle and “cross fit” classes and seen little to no improvement. I’ve seen more improvements in the last two weeks (thanks to you <3) than I have in an entire year!!! Also I wanted to thank you for inviting me to join your online jabs community. It's truly amazing to see what YOU have created!!!!!!! You continue (since our SU skating days) to inspire me with your kindness, selflessness, confidence and drive. Please keep doing online classes forever or I will actually move to NYC.”
“Gina. Omg. Just finished your abs class and it was insane. By far the best abs class let alone workout class Ive ever taken and I can feel my body still shaking. I also took bands this morning with Ali and learnt so much... who knew u could deadlift with a band. I can’t wait for my upcoming classes and thank u for so many good ones!!”
“SUCH a big thank you!!! I just finished your abs class and am IN AWE of how you inspire people to crush and then create new limits for themselves. Even after two classes (all done on Zoom) I can tangibly feel what an amazing supportive community JABS is. And, my abs have never felt like this. Thank you for making me feel like myself again.”
“Who knew you could burn 300+ calories in an abs class!?!”
“Gina! I do 10mins of abs workout 6 days a week but I have never been as sore as I feel after 30mins of abs with you. I am so glad to I got to be a part of your class :) you are amazing.”
“Today was my first abs class, I've been really scared to try it and probs wouldn't have tried it for months. it was def hard but not impossible and I know what I need to keep working on and i'm really excited to keep taking it :) will for sure be the strongest I've ever been by the end of this quarantine.”
“I know you already know your shit is amazing but wow. I also do a lot of megaformer Pilates and they don’t have anything that burns the WHOLE CORE like this. Thanks so much for doing what you do.”
“Idk how but you literally dished out the hardest ab workout and still leave me smiling!! This was only my 2nd abs class but it was SO great. Thank you so much!”
“My abs hurt so bad - it hurts to lay. My legs hurt so bad - I can barely walk Your workouts are kicking my butt! Thank you for doing what you’re doing! I bought a foam roller so I can keep up with these amazing workouts.”
"I was joking to some friends that I usually just lay on the floor for workout videos and admire the instructors but you were very motivational - LOVE those oblique exercises! While doing them I can tell they're hitting deep - I feel very effective and am still feeling it like crazy this morning."
“I think I had a literal breakthrough during Abs today: I’m going to come out of quarantine actually WAY stronger than I was before all this happened.”
“I feel more connected to the Jabs community now than I did before quarantine. I have found myself getting stronger and stronger in every workout and being way more successful at the hard shit (hello Jabs Abs) than I was before Corona. I hope that when this is all over, the one thing I take away is that it’s REALLY important to create that time and space to further your individual success.”
“Gina! I do 10mins of abs workout 6 days a week but I have never been as sore as I feel after 30mins of abs with you. I am so glad to I got to be a part of your class :) you are amazing.”
“My obliques are the most active thing about this at home quarantine. Loveee it!”
“I can EASILY see how you help people get abs now. Thank you for all that you and your team are doing in quarantine!!”
“Before quarantine there’s no freaking way I could have gotten through the plank with no down dogs! 3 weeks in and I did it!”
“Haiiii! I took you zoom ab class yesterday and Choreo this morning and wanted to say thank you!!! I'm in California so I'm so happy to have the chance to experience JABS rn. Also was v stoked to be a part of the legendary 5 min plank. I think how you're navigating your business through all of this is bad ASS and 100+ people in a class is insane. Happy to help support!!! And finally be a part of it”
“Just did Ali's Ab class first time every and HOLY CRAP. I'm sore already. Thanks for an amazing class!!!!”
“Holy shit Gina!!! That was amazing. IM HOOKED. I know this is crazy, but when I looked in the mirror after at my stomach, I already saw more definition!! And in just 30 minutes?! Just wanted to say THANK YOU and it’s no surprise all your classes are full. Hoping to get on your schedule next week but can’t wait to try Ali’s abs and arms this week. Much love”
"Thank you for including me! I’m the worst and I couldn’t figure out how to put the video or microphone on but your workout was a killer. It definitely made me realize I need to learn how to activate my core more! Thank you again!"
Ali is amazing! I love her reminder that “remember you are doing this for yourself”! I needed to hear that!
“My regular trainer doesn’t believe I did a 5 minute plank!! Because that’s the power of jabs abs.”
“Ok I just realized today how much stronger my core has gotten since starting JABS!!! I joined my mom for a workout she was doing and I literally felt my core engaged in EVERY EXERCISE. I never knew how to engage/activate my core before (tbh didn’t even know I was supposed to engage it in most exercises, as dumb as that may sound). And I didn’t even have to think about using my core ....it kinda just happened. Anyways, I just thought it was cool and exciting when I noticed my core was working the whole time “
“Just wanted to share that I have never felt the level of hatred and then love towards the same person within the same hour as I did towards you during abs today. 🤣 That was SO hard but SO GOOD. Abs have never been a real strength for me but I'm starting to feel such a difference in the rest of my body as I build core strength. Also I'm feeling motivated to eat better because I want them to show now that they're getting stronger?? What a concept. Anyway, thank you for the torture. Very very worth it.”
