He sure did I stopped watching his videos awhile back when COVID hit and I couldn’t get to the gym and gained some weight. But he sure taught me a lot and I feel really bad about not watching him he taught me more then just fitness I realize that now. Rest up John and I hope your boys and wife are holding up may good bless them

I am not shocked at all to find this video now. John seems like that guy that everyone's life was better for knowing him as a friend or family.

I think looking at the love and admiration people have for this guy, he had won at life and is definitely certified to help others with advice. RIP Meadow's

[@melevets]

Really going to miss these types of videos. You had a way of bringing positivity into every video. Always walked away feeling motivated. May you rest peace.

[@WeAllFloatHere]

I’ve followed John for years. Done many of his workouts, used many of his tips. Two years ago i blew out my shoulder and took a lot of time away from the gym. Lost motivation. Finally got back in, caught covid. Got back in, got in a car accident that injured that same shoulder again last December. I’m still recovering from that, but watching John has kept me motivated to keep going. I built a new program using different workouts hes posted, and taken some of his diet advice like adding eggs and making sure they’re cooked sunny side up to keep the nutrients at their best. John, you’ve taught me a lot, motivated me, and helped me look at life through a more positive lens in dark times. Thank you, you will NEVER be forgotten

[@carlosduque8905]

What a golden human being. Totally different than everybody else.

[@jameshu9435]

Too many people are money slaves, without understanding money comes with passion, so does career. If someone don't make so much money, so what? You have faught for your dream, thats the real purpose for one to live a life. It is amazing you have this balanced and healthy mindset, John! Such a kind person.

[@eddiefilms904]

I had my doubts clicking on this video. I thought it was gonna be another corny motivational video. But it really was different. You spoke the truth in this video, and much of what you said hit very close to home. Thank you

[@michaelbowers7912]

A great way to win at life is by not only being grateful but showing gratitude. I appreciate you John and I'm grateful for you. You have a lot of great insight and positivity but at the same time you don't sugar coat things and keep it real. I came for the lifting and nutritional advice, but what you publish is more enriching then just that. Thank you

[@mountaindog1]

welcome!!!

We miss you man. Hope you knew how much you meant to us. I still watch this video almost every day when I’m straying off the path. You were the father I never had. I just bought the shirt you’re wearing last week, can’t wait to make it my new lucky gym shirt. We love you Mary and the kids! There will never be another John Meadows!

I take your advise to my job, lifting, and life. I work at a small medical device company and have responsibilities that grow bigger each day. During this quarantine, I have not had the gym to fall back on. I have adapted, overcame, and will continue to grow. I know I and WE will all get through this! Thanks John for inspiring me and the rest of your followers!

around a year and a half ago I commented on one of your videos about intra workout I was 300lbs over weight at the time and last year I got on stage for the first time at 189lbs. You are one of my idols and heroes. This year with covid and everything going on I feel lost and depressed. I have a great coach but even he isn't sure how to help me right now. This video actually made me cry a little bit because it really meant a lot for me to hear this from you publicly today,. I don't normally get this emotional, but thank you, John. I'm going to go pump up in my tinny home gym with the inspiration I got from you today.

[@mountaindog1]

Valuable advice from a Winner at Life. Thank you John

[@dannymacias6840]

I had a dream the other night I was in a nutrition store and I saw him fixing up some products in the store. Sounds crazy but I swear it was realistic, I went up to him and said no shit John meadows, I follow your platform and big fan your information and advice has helped me a lot. He gave me a pep talk like in sandlot when babe Ruth spoke to the kid. Told me no matter what it’s never gonna be easy but if you stick to your goals, you will always achieve anything. Then he gave me a fist bumb. Never met the dude. It was as real as day. Rip.

[@Robbieahmed3]

John's kids are very lucky to have a father like him. Ive always had an absent father who ended up leaving us, I always felt inadequate as to being a man and many aspects of life because of that. I'm slowly starting to take control of my life from depression and everything around me, believe it or not once I started training my mindset became more goal oriented. John and his videos are pretty big part of that process. I believe in almost everything this man teaches such as values, training, life lessons etc. Long story short thank you John you're definetly winning at life in my opinion.

[@mountaindog1]

Thank you Rob. I never had a father personally. Left when I was born, and part of a kind of ugly story. I feel a calling in life to be a good dad though. Thank you so much for your support, keep up the good work!

There are so many great people providing useful fitness/nutrition info here on KZbin. What sets John apart is his wisdom from experience and calm, positive presence. Easily my fave channel in the fitness community. A lot of guys can give you good advice, equivalent to what an older brother could offer. John is out here with dad-level advice - whether it’s in the gym, the kitchen, or just about life in general.

Your point about helping others is actually what Maslow was exploring later in his career, a level above self-actualization called transcendence or doing something beyond oneself. I couldn't agree more.

[@ryantryt2468]

That’s an outstanding 7 John. I agree with them all, especially ‘Believe in Yourself’. If you don’t believe in [or love or trust or...] yourself, no one else will. It has to be genuine. You can’t fake it. Something else that has come up in a few books that I have read recently regarding this topic is ‘Being Present in the Moment’. No matter what it is-eating breakfast, going on a walk, talking with a friend, working, etc-make an effort to be in the moment, to focus, to pay attention, to devote yourself to what is going on in your life at that very moment. Open all of your senses up and you’ll soon realize that we miss out on wonderful details all around us everyday because we aren’t truly present. Savor each moment in life because once the moment passes it is gone forever.

[@MA-ji2qv]

What is interesting too is that, from what I have understood, John was also a man of faith. And that faith was proven by the way that he lived and loved others. People saw in him what they wanted to be themselves. This is the beauty of a life lived well. Peace be with you, John. Go with God.

Great message John! From my experience, the higher up you go up the food chain (I.e. manager, director, VP, etc..), the greater the arrogance, pride, greed etc..and cut throat, back stabbing politics. Unfortunately, people get caught up believing money can buy anything, including happiness.

[@mountaindog1]

it becomes alot about "show" and creating a perception - you got that right.

[@malekmalek9064]

John great wisdom.one thing i always have done is don't tell anyone my plans,not going around telling every one i gonna fight in the ring or i gonna cut and than not walking the walk.i always get this idea i gonna do this or that and than i do it.to many people plan and tell everyone and than not following trough,now thy have to look at thy're selves in the mirror everyday and others reminding him of his failure.at some point one has to stop with only watching Rocky movies and begin to write thy're own,living life like camera's are following 24/7. Another wisdom to win in life is this : Don't just tell everyone your problems or infermities it's sad but it's tru,you have 3 kinds of people 1 the minority how would love to see your downfall,you tell them your problem and make thy're day so thy're faith works against you. 2 the majority that have compassion for your situation but don't posses any power to help your,worse than that thy go and tell your problem to others and thy themselves beeing helples thy're faith works against you.now everywhere you come people comming up to you and telling how bad thy feel for you,that is faith in the begative multiplied 3 the maybe one person who stands with in faith not talking dispair,death,destruction this person who would die for you and if one has not such a person than better walk alone and be that person for someone else.all the best to you and your family John👐
