Started over cause I couldn’t stay consistent due to personal reasons so, today is my day one of the summer shred challenge and I will finish it. I love this workout and it kicks my behind!!!

Thank you for taking the time to respond, but I honestly feel like my main concern is still being missed. To be completely transparent, the response feels somewhat automated because I’ve seen very similar responses given to several members. While I appreciate being acknowledged, it doesn’t feel like anyone is truly listening to what many of us are actually saying.I never said the Summer Shred was HIIT only, and I want to make that clear because that wasn’t my concern. I actually enjoy the Summer Shred program and think it’s great. My concern is that so much content that many of us loved, relied on, and built our routines around was removed. Those are two completely different issues.I’ve been a member for years because Queen Warriors offered something that so many other fitness platforms don’t: variety. It wasn’t just about losing weight or doing the hardest workout possible. It was about having options. Some days I wanted strength training. Some days I wanted a dance workout because I was stressed and needed to move my body in a fun way. Some days I wanted barre, yoga, stretching, boxing, Pilates, or positive affirmations. Some days I needed a workout for my mental health more than my physical health. The beauty of this platform was that it met us where we were each day.As a teacher, one of the most important things we learn is differentiation. We don’t teach every student the same way because every student learns differently. We provide different resources, different approaches, and different opportunities for success because what works for one person may not work for another. I believe that same philosophy applies here. Every member is different. Every woman comes to this platform with different goals, different schedules, different energy levels, different physical abilities, and different reasons for showing up.I completely understand that as a business owner you have to evolve. I understand that decisions are made based on data, attendance, viewership, and feedback. I understand that you have to consider what works for the majority. However, I also think it’s important to remember that numbers don’t always tell the whole story.I agree with another member who pointed out that not everyone comments, sends emails, or participates in discussions. Many members quietly log in, complete their workouts, save their favorite classes, and go about their day. Just because someone isn’t vocal doesn’t mean they aren’t using and benefiting from the content. The absence of feedback doesn’t necessarily mean the absence of value.What is especially disappointing is how abruptly this happened. There was no warning, no transition period, no opportunity for members to prepare. One day we had access to classes we had been using for years, and the next day they were gone. Many of us had favorite classes saved. We had playlists built. We had routines that worked for us. Those routines helped keep us consistent, and consistency is what we’re always encouraged to build.This morning I woke up wanting to do one of my favorite dance workouts. Not because I wanted to burn the most calories. Not because I wanted the hardest workout. Simply because that’s what I needed mentally and emotionally today. I wanted something fun. I wanted to move, release stress, and enjoy my workout. Then I realized it was gone. That feeling of opening an app you’ve paid for and supported for years only to find your favorite content missing is frustrating and honestly disheartening.I think what many of us are trying to say is that the answer shouldn’t be removing valuable content in order to simplify the platform. Those things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Why not create an archive section? Why not have a legacy library? Why not have an “older classes” category where longtime members can still access the content they’ve loved for years while new members can enjoy the updated structure? There are ways to simplify the user experience without taking away options from the people who helped build this community.What made Queen Warriors special wasn’t just the workouts. It was the fact that women could come here and find exactly what they needed on any given day. Some needed strength. Some needed cardio. Some needed dance. Some needed stretching. Some needed mindset work. Some needed all of it. The variety wasn’t a problem. The variety was the reason so many of us stayed.We’re not asking you to remove the new content. We’re not asking you to stop evolving. We’re not saying Summer Shred isn’t valuable. What we’re asking is that you truly listen to the concerns of your longtime members and find a way to preserve the content that helped so many of us stay consistent, motivated, and connected to this platform.Please don’t dismiss this as resistance to change. This is about losing access to programs, classes, playlists, and routines that became an important part of our daily lives. The old content didn’t need to disappear for the new content to succeed. There should be room for both. That’s what inclusion looks like. That’s what differentiation looks like. And honestly, that’s what made Queen Warriors so successful in the first place.

I’ve been a member since the beginning, and I truly love this community and program. That’s exactly why this change is so disappointing. I had a routine that worked for me, and I had my favorite stretch, barre, dance, and boxing classes saved. I’ve also been following the Summer Shred and using the positive affirmations regularly. Having all of that removed without warning feels incredibly frustrating.I understand that you need to organize and update the app and website. I also understand that you likely looked at data, feedback, and usage numbers when making these decisions. From a business perspective, I can understand the reasoning. However, as a teacher, one of the most important things we learn is differentiation. We don’t teach every student the same way because every student learns differently. We create different pathways so everyone can succeed and feel included.I think the same concept applies here. Every member has different goals, preferences, fitness levels, and needs. Not everyone wants to do HIIT or lift weights every day. Some of us genuinely love the dance classes, barre classes, stretching sessions, boxing workouts, and mindset content. Those programs are what made this platform stand out. The variety is one of the biggest reasons so many of us joined and stayed.The Summer Shred is great, but sometimes I wake up and don’t want an intense workout. Sometimes I want to dance. Sometimes I want to stretch. Sometimes I need a slower workout that still gets me moving and helps me release stress. Today I woke up excited to do one of my favorite dance classes, only to find it gone. That honestly felt wrong.What makes this program successful is that it offers something for everyone. Please don’t take that away. If you want to streamline the app, maybe create an “Archived Classes” section or an “Original Library” folder where members can still access older content while new programs are added. There has to be a better solution than simply removing everything people have built routines around.I also really want my saved playlists and favorites back. One of my favorite features was having my go-to classes organized and ready whenever I needed them. I don’t love change when it means losing something that was already working well.Please reconsider this decision and bring the classes back. The variety, accessibility, and ability to choose what works best for us is what made this community special in the first place.

Honestly! I hate that the dance workouts were removed. Please bring it back. Not all workout has to be hardcore and I loved that it was a different way to move the body. Fabiana

Late but week one down! I love that you are saying some words in spanish. Today was sore and didn’t want to do a back to back but I did it. It wasn’t perfect but it got done.

This workout was amazing! Day 2 for me. Fabiana didn’t come to play. It kicked my behind. Can we please stretch our necks next time too? Also, we need the playlist. It was a vibe!!!
