In this episode of Confessions of a GroupX Instructor, I share a very personal and devastating experience: my Facebook account was hacked and wrongfully disabled. Overnight, I lost access to my personal profile, business Pages, and linked Instagram accounts — the digital home of my international fitness business.
You’ll hear:
How the hack happened, even with two-factor authentication enabled
What it feels like to suddenly lose access to your professional identity online
The surprising roadblocks I faced trying to restore my account
Practical steps you can take today to protect your own accounts from the same fate
This episode isn’t just my story — it’s a wake-up call for every fitness professional who depends on social media to connect with their community.
🔒 Don’t wait until it’s too late. Learn from my mistakes, take action, and keep your digital business safe.
