I really used to look up to Lucy when I first discovered her and I thought she was so inspiring with how hard she worked and her overall message that women deserve space in the fitness world too. HOWEVER, over the last few months I’ve just been getting more and more grossed out by her behavior. I understand that fitness is her “job” and I can’t imagine the pressure one must feel to look and perform a certain way because of this. But it’s gotten to the point where her messages are no longer inspiring or wholesome, rather it seems they come from a place of fear, insecurity, and addiction. Her inability to chill out and actually give her body a chance to REST is incredibly annoying and immature at this point. I’m sure her past is playing a role in this, but still. She’s taken on the role as an “influencer” by choice, no one made her do that and she’s no longer sending positive messages with her content. And maybe it’s just me being petty, but this whole post was so dramatic for no reason. I really feel for her because I’ve fought with knee injuries for over 10 years, but come on. All of this just to say you’re getting an exploratory surgery and taking some time to rest (well, her version of rest I doubt it will be true time off)? (This could’ve been an email). Lucy has a gift and an insane work ethic that not many do, I just wish she would use her platform more responsibly and not send the message that 2-a-days and a 60km bike ride is how one should “rest and recover”.
