In need of some serious WORK OUT MOTIVATION then here it is.
Meet Cassey Ho award-winning fitness instructor and creator of Blogilates, #1 female fitness channel on YouTube with over 300 million video views and 3 million subscribers, Cassey Ho is definitely our Go-To-GIRL for workout motivation and inspiration.
The magic all began when Cassey started breaking the rules. Fusing pop music together with her classical Pilates routines, the way Cassey melded the music to the mat was unlike anything the industry had seen before.
Students began to crave her innovative choreography because it brought the fun back into working out! She decided to call it POP Pilates®.
When Cassey posted her first POP Pilates® workout video on YouTube back in 2009, it was intended only for her 40 students to see. In fact, the only reason why the video was created was because Cassey was moving cross-country and she wanted to leave a farewell workout video for her class to do anytime they missed her. Little did she know that this genuine intention to serve her students would end up being the first building block of what would eventually become the infectiously inspiring world of Blogilates.

Today, POP Pilates® is now a live class and internationally recognized instructor certification program (ACE, AFAA, NASM). In a groundbreaking partnership, 24 Hour Fitness aligned with Cassey to make POP Pilates® the official Pilates format of all their gyms in the United States.
From authoring her best-selling book, Hot Body Year Round to designing and manufacturing her own performance activewear line, POPFLEX – Cassey is continually evolving the world of Blogilates to help bring more value and happiness into the lives of her community members, aka “POPsters”.
In 2016, Cassey launched her toughest body transformation program, PIIT28: an equipment-free Pilates Intense Interval Training workout that takes only 28 min and 40 sec a day. The results, mental and physical, are absolutely phenomenal.
Cassey has been featured on numerous media outlets such as Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, The Steve Harvey Show, PEOPLE Magazine, COSMOPOLITAN, SEVENTEEN, The New York Times and she recently graced the cover of HEALTH Magazine.
