Linda Stejskal (Barlates Body Blitz) YouTube Temporarily Down

She emailed me and asked me to post here to let people know that she's working on getting her account restored. Hackers got into her gmail account and subsequently her YouTube account and YouTube shut her down. She said she's working with YouTube to get it restored.

She also posted about an hour ago on social media that if you purchased any of her downloads, to download them to a safe place immediately, as she cannot guarantee that the links will continue to work at this time. I feel so bad for her and hope this gets resolved soon!

Oof, what a hassle for her. She has a ton of content — I hope she’s able to restore it without too many problems.

I feel so bad for her! This convinced me to bite the bullet on the next Linda sale at TF though. Even downloads aren't guaranteed.

Thanks for posting this. So sorry this happened to her - darn hackers!

At the time of this post, the download links are still working.

I use her workouts a lot, mostly downloads that I store on my computer. I was behind on downloading my purchases because I was getting low on hard drive space and hadn't gotten around to getting a high-capacity portable SSD. You can also stream your purchases, so I'd been downloading some and streaming some.

Now I have most of my workouts downloaded, aside from some that I also own on DVD (because now I really am running out of hard drive space) - and I finally ordered a 4TB portable drive.

Linda updated on social media that her GMAIL has been restored, and she's hoping her Youtube account will be soon too. She also said sorry for the scare about the downloads, all links are still working and won't expire. (She posted that on IG this evening if anyone wants to verify)

That's great news!

Thanks for posting the update - So far, I'm not on IG or FB so I get my workout news here.

I don't mind the false alarm about the downloads - I didn't know whether those links would be affected either. I'd been meaning to order a portable SSD for my workout downloads for some time now, so that's finally done.

Colleen, that's good! I think it's a good lesson for us all because you just never know.
