I'm currently going through a break up, my mental and physical health are awful. Constant panic attacks and crying, I haven't left my bed in a week. I found your videos to try and distract my mind from it and I am now inspired to start my own healing journey physically and hopefully mentally. Thank you Austen
@ryanwilson5842
Getting through anxiety and panics attacks daily ABSOLUTELY SUCKS and you either come out of it broken, or even stronger then when it started. Glad your the latter of the two, good job man keep it up.
@carlosblanco2955
Wow. So sorry for what happened with Sarah 😢. Keep your head up, lots of people look up to you. Think positive, you'll get to know someone else and you'll get over that breakup. We've all been there.

You're the reason im joining the navy, the reason I turned my drinking into an addiction with fitness...Thank you Austen🙂
@BrittanyNeefeldt
There is no better feeling in the world than running and completing your first marathon. Running is good for the soul! Amazing job Austen!!!!!
@danjames4039
Thanks for doing what you do! I really think you touch people as well as inspire and motivate.

Man idk wtf is up with the universe or whatever but you have no idea how much I needed to hear this. My wife actually cheated on, gaslighted, left me, and is trying to take everything ive worked for while running my name down the drain. Oh and to top of all that some of the people closest to me helped her hide it all. Like you I met her while I was in the military and we got married after I got out. She faked illnesses and said she couldnt work. So i saved and worked 60 to 90hrs a week so we could buy a house and have a 6 month emergency fund and prepare to have kids and lay the groundwork to raise them in better circumstances than we grew up in. But i guess that wasnt enough. Really sucks and to make matters worse I was a little b!tch about it ngl. So in stereotypical guy form I got back in shape and got ripped again (didnt buy a sports car though lol) and recently started running again (even my dog joins me). Its tough though Ive always liked lifting but hated running. Seeing you push through that marathon and admit to the heartache youve been dealing with and the extent of how much its affected you mentally yet you keep pushing is pretty damn motivating ngl. So thanks man and keep up the great work!

You're an inspiration. As men it's fiction that we can't talk about mental health. I struggle myself sometimes because we can be full of pride and you threw that topic out there and it stuck. Kudos and keep that chin up high, sir. I've been following your fitness videos vs the who's and what's and it keeps me going. Much love!
@dave4oh5
Austen, you're a huge inspiration. I hope you never stop spreading that message. You never change the world, but you may change someone's world.
@lichi1244eva
Your first marathon was Catalina?!?! 🤯🤯 Kudos, that's really impressive!! This was truly inspiring, thank you for being so open.
@shadinz
You made me shed a tear god damn it! 😢 Sending you good vibes Austen, congrats on finishing one of the hardest marathon. You'll remember that for the rest of your life. You take care of yourself, my man! 💪
@cynthiacastillo7535
I experienced a 5-year relationship break up as well on the early months of 2023 and I know exactly how you fell, those panic attacks... endless anxiety... Fortunately after 6 months of therapy I can see the light and finding myself again. I admire you!!!!.... keep doing the things you love and walking on the right path. You make me feel everything is possible with your videos. You are such an inspiration role in my life. Keep it up!
@JasonLiLifts
You’re truly an inspiration and a great person as a content creator. You are down to earth and that’s what I love. You encourage me and others to stay fit, as well as knowing how important our mental health is. You’ve encouraged me to begin making videos, and I can’t thank you enough for being a part of my inspiration Austen!
@JussPictures
Tearing up as I’m about to go into a meeting after watching this!!! I’ve always wanted to be fit (and this is coming from a woman who is overweight). I lost weight in 2016 and gained it all back over the years. You’re truly an inspiration!!!!
@darianreese123
I watch your videos from time to time. But, the respect gained after this video caused me to finally subscribe. 💪🏽💪🏽
@declanosullivan3742
Austin, you’ve made a big impact on me in my life, and I’m grateful that you do what you do because you do it well, and with a passion to help others. I’m currently training to be a triathlete and hopefully can get a marathon in within the next year or two, and this has motivated me to work even harder. I’m sorry for what happened with you and Sarah, as well as everything else that has happened to you, just keep pushing, keep thanking god for everything he gives you for it is yours to receive and not to take, and keep being a true innovator in a society that has many posers.
@LeahMiller-n2s
Great job sir! I literally shed a few tears. God bless you, your an inspiration!
@TH-1988
Life is hard...so it's okay to feel these emotional struggle and yet define boundaries. I would love to try my first marathon someday.💯
@jasonkruger5278
I couldnt run the past 1.5 years due to an Injury. Right now i started training again to lose weight and get back on track. Your Energy jumps right onto me while watching your Videos. You made me even more hyped to run again in the near future. You are a great Inspiration. Thank you!
