Fitness Trainer Lindsey Gordon Suffers Concussion Following ‘Rather Serious Car Accident’

Fitness trainer Lindsey Gordon is grateful for fans who have reached out to her after she revealed that she got in a "rather serious car accident" in her Instagram Stories on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

The social media sensation said that she had been sitting in her car when she had been rear-ended in California. She later took to her Instagram Stories to share an update.

“I get to [go] home praise God,” she wrote in a short message to her followers on Thursday afternoon. “I have a concussion from the impact, so I’m going to have to take it easy the next couple of days.”

“I am lucky to be alive. Every day is a gift you guys so PLEASE remember that & live each day to the fullest. I will push through this and come back even stronger than I was before.”

Instead of posting photos of the damage, Lindsey took to Instagram on Friday, September 8, in order to post a photo of her kneeling at the beach in the sunset as she reflected on how grateful she was to still be alive following the serious car accident she was in the day before.

“Yesterday I was involved in a rather serious car accident and it has allowed me to sit & reflect because of the concussion I have,” she wrote. “I’m extremely grateful to walk away from this situation with my life because it could have been much worse.”

“I’ve grown so much in the last year mentally and physically which has enabled me to look at this circumstance with a different perspective,” she continued. “The old version of me would have come unglued because of this incident impacting my work, body, & car, BUT the growing Lindsey knows there’s nothing she can do. The only thing that’s in my control is how I choose to handle this situation.”

“Many of you guys have sent the sweetest messages and I truly do appreciate every single one of them. Quite a few of you have commented on how it seems as though I have been thrown a lot more than I can handle, but that’s not true,” she went on. “God protects me and won’t allow me to go through anything I cannot handle (and that’s the same for you).”

“Despite the challenges I face, I have peace knowing that God will lead me to exactly where He wants me to be. He will give me the lessons I need to learn to become a stronger version of myself,” she added. “He will guide me through the journey and remind me I am not alone.”

“You are not alone either. Whatever you may be facing in life right now is NOT permanent. There are better days ahead & God loves you,” she concluded. “Remember to remind yourself of what you’re grateful for because this life is truly a gift so use it wisely.” She ended her post with several hashtags, including “Life is beautiful” and “Mindset is everything.”

“We hope you’re feeling better!” one fan commented. “Sending you all of the love and positivity,” another follower wrote. “You are such a light, Lindsey. God loves you and so do I. So beyond glad that you’re okay, sunshine,” a third fan shared. “Love this so much. Glad you’re okay. Sending love beautiful,” another follower commented.

“Hope you’re doing okay! You’re strong physically and mentally and I’m sure you’ll be back stronger than ever,” another fan wrote. “Praying for you, love,” another follower chimed in. “Well god protected and kept you level and allowed you to be the strongest person and that is amazing and inspirational for everyone who reads this I’m happy you are able to reflect and look at things differently,” another fan shared.

“Growing is perfect @lindsey_renneee you both know what your greatest strengths are & how to uphold them. Peace is power, never forget that. Your journey is looking beautiful & strong, gifts are a sign of love & you are loved so much you're still here,” another follower commented while other fans sent her thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
