In this 2016 day‑in‑the‑life vlog, fitness influencer Rob Lipsett takes viewers to the Gymshark meetup in Dublin’s Stephen’s Green, accompanied by his friend Sarah. The video opens with Rob explaining the purpose of the trip – to meet Gymshark athletes and staff (Jasmine, Lex, Nikki, Lainey, Ben, David Lay) and to connect with subscribers who have messaged them on Instagram and Snapchat. They navigate long queues, enter the event, and later chill at the Westbury hotel where they socialize with the Gymshark crew, sharing drinks and a bubble‑wrap gift. Rob reflects on the excitement of meeting fans, the rarity of finding like‑minded fitness creators in Ireland, and the warm weather that held up for the outdoor expo‑style gathering. After the meetup they head out for dinner, choosing a spicy pizza at Milano’s followed by frozen yogurt. Rob describes the meal as a “free meal” rather than a cheat, emphasizing the psychological benefits of occasional untracked eating. He briefly mentions his current training phase – a light cut for the Olympia competition followed by an upcoming bulk – and promotes an upcoming Gymshark‑sponsored seminar/Q&A in Galway, directing viewers to a Facebook event. Throughout the vlog Rob expresses gratitude toward his audience, highlights the community aspect of YouTube, and ends the video from his balcony, signing off with a positive, energetic tone.
Chapters
What's up everyone, welcome to today's video. And now you might see a few different faces than what you're used to in today's video. And the reason for that is because me and Sarah are going to the Gymshark meetup. And now before anyone comments saying, oh Rob, you're signed with a different company, um, we are like good friends with like Jasmine, Lex, Nikki, like, so we just really want to meet them today. I've already been talking to them. We're talking to Ben, the owner of Gymshark, and we honestly can't wait. So we're going to go into town now. See what's going on. I've already spoke to a couple of subscribers who like messaged me on like Instagram and Snapchat and stuff, so hopefully meet a few viewers as well because I absolutely love meeting the people who watch my videos. So I'll catch up with you in a bit.
This is Sarah taking over Rob's channel. I'm only joking. But yeah, the two of us are really excited to go meet everyone, and I think it's going to be such a good day in town. Like, I can't wait to see if anyone actually recognizes me because loads of people have messaged Rob saying that they can't wait to see him. So really excited, and I will see you guys in town.
All right, so we're just about to go up to the meetup now. We saw on Snapchat. The queues are absolutely huge. Oh God, I think I see people now. All right, so like we're not even there yet and we already met like so many people.
People who've subscribed to me!
Yeah, oh, it's a good feeling. But no, like it's so nice. Oh my God, I'm like, I'm nervous. What's up? You're well? What's cracking, lads? Great to meet you. How's things? Oh my God, this is nuts. What is up? High fives! All right, we're doing it. Enjoy your bunsen.
Bunsen's awesome.
So it took us like 20 minutes to get in here. We're still not even in. Oh my God, and it's like we're not even— we're not even in the park yet. Like, I'm outside. It's taken me like 20 minutes to get in here, but I love it. This is awesome. This is very cool. Holy shit! Oh my God, like, this is— this is crazy. This is like the closest is Dublin's ever going to get to an expo. Oh my God, that was insane. I have no words. We didn't even get to meet the Gymshark people because as you saw, we got pretty swamped. But we're going to the Westbury now to just chill out with kind of the Gymshark athletes. Okay guys, um, so yeah, that is just insane. All right, so we are just chilling here with the Gymshark people. Meetup's done. We're just having a few like waters, a few drinks, just chilling. So we got Lex Jazz Robin, Nikki, Lainey, everyone. Sarah is behind me there, and then we got the Gymshark staff, some top lads there. David Lay too. Honestly, nicest bunch of people you will ever meet. So we're gonna chill, talk, and just, um, catch up really. You got a box full of bubble wrap. That is your present. Enjoy popping it. Yeah, yeah. Edmond Collection. Oh wow, dope as fuck! Put that on the front of your car. Yeah, yeah, you should legit buy Okay, so we just had like a few drinks with the Gymshark people who are so, so nice, honestly.
Like, it's in our group.
Yeah, yeah, but like, it's just so cool to hang out with like-minded people, and it's, it's tough to find people who do the same thing as us in Ireland. So like, it was great to chill with them for the day, and we've been kind of on the go, on our feet all day, and we haven't eaten anything. So, and it's Sunday.
Sunday.
So it's Sunday. So I think we're gonna go out to eat or something, but the two of us are literally on cloud nine. Like, honestly, it was like a little expo in Stephen's Green today.
And my first experience anyway.
Yeah, Sarah had a queue of people wanting to talk to her. So like, it's honestly just so nice. And like, everyone who came up to me and like met me today, like, it's just a different feeling. It's like, she's out the car now. It's just like, I don't even know how to explain it. It's like, it's amazing. I'm honestly lost for words. And for anyone who watches these videos, benefits from watching them, I always say this, like, I freaking love you. Seriously, I do. You're pretty. Car's open. Also very surprised that the weather actually held up. It was actually a really warm day. It was weird, it's like not sunny but it's warm. And also after that, I'm more excited than ever to do this semi- seminar next week. I'll be down in Galway City Gym. I'm doing like a meetup seminar, Q&A. Um, there's like details of it on Facebook. There's an event set up, so go check that out. But I'm like pumped for life. All right, so we are just about to go out to eat. We're not sure where to go, but like both of us have eaten like not much at all today. She's proper eaten like nothing, so I'm gonna make sure, you know, she gets a good feed. You know, you gotta feed your other half. But, um, so we don't know where we're gonna go yet. We want to try somewhere different. But anyways, I'm going to take you along with me.
I either want pizza or burgers. Pizza or burgers.
Either or. We'll both— well, maybe both. It is a beautiful mild day and I'm extremely hungry. I'm extremely excited for dinner. I don't think I've actually been this excited for food in a long time. Right, I am like a big fan of like really spicy food and like I love spicy pizzas with everything on, so I'm just gonna look for like the most confident Cave of Wun, and we ended up deciding on pizza, so we went for Milano's. So I was a bold boy and I got dough balls for a starter. Hopefully these don't make me resemble a dough ball, but— So I got exactly what I wanted. This is called the American Hottest, and it is like the spiciest pizza you can get. So much stuff on it, it looks exciting, but like, I've been craving a pizza for so long, so I'm, I'm just beyond happy. That was so, so good. And now we just said— and now we're gonna top it off some fro-yo because we're just in such a good mood. Yes, you can. It's so funny when people— when we see people in a restaurant, they don't finish their meal, me and Sarah get offended. And we're just like, give it to me, send it over here, you know. Anyways, that, that does look like fun. But, uh, yes, a nice froyo time. And all out froyo for dessert.
So excited.
Oh yes, dessert froyo! That was honestly like one of the best meals we've ever had. That was the first time in a long time we just said bok makros and just kind of ate and enjoyed ourselves, even though like we had such a busy long day. We didn't really get the chance to— oh Jesus— we didn't really get the chance to eat much as it is, so like probably ate like back all calories today. All right people, as usual, finishing up on the balcony as this is my place where I go to talk and think. But, uh, that meal was so good. That was the first time in a long time where me and Sarah just said fuck macros and just like, you know, enjoyed ourselves. And those of us in the evidence-based community, we actually don't call that a cheat meal. We call that a free meal or an untracked meal because cheat adds a negative association with it. But so anyways, they can be like beneficial for like psychological benefits and stuff. And for those asking, I'm like cutting down a little bit for the Olympia, but like nothing intense. And then after that, I is bulk time. But I want to talk about today. Ah, I just cannot put into words, honestly, like, still feeling high on life just to know that I've that kind of support system and like that my subscribers are just such cool people and I got to meet them in person because that is what YouTube is like all about. It's like having a TV show but people get to interact. You actually get to like talk to people in the comments and in real life. Like, it's honestly crazy. So I'm sorry that, um, there was no like lifting or anything. This is just kind of a day in the life vlog, but I'll probably have something this week to do with the gym. But here, look, I'm out here. Keep it real. Peace.
