Growing Up Strong-Lauren Fisher
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- With three older brothers, Lauren Fisher quickly learned how to play with the boys.
"She would just never back down," says Fisher's mom, Linda.
At 12 years old, Fisher started training at CrossFit 209 Sport in Stockton, Calif. As with other athletes who start CrossFit early in life, Fisher improved quickly and reached a high level of fitness at a young age. Last year, at 17, she competed at the 2012 NorCal Regional and finished 12th. This year, she went to the CrossFit Games as a member of the CrossFit Invictus team, which finished seventh.
"One of the things that we did right from the get-go is we train at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, knowing that last year she was a freshman in college. I was interested to see how that would play out," says C.J. Martin, owner of CrossFit Invictus. "She never missed a training session."
Fisher's dedication and attitude have garnered admiration even from more experienced CrossFit competitors and coaches.
Miranda Oldroyd is a member of CrossFit's Level 1 Seminar Staff, as well as a coach at NorCal CrossFit alongside Fisher's brother Garret, who finished fifth at this year's Games. Oldroyd says she's "super jealous" of the 19-year-old.
"She has realized so early on in her life not to care what anybody else thinks," Oldroyd explains. "She has learned so early in her life what she can get just by working hard and having goals and what it means to work hard. They're so much more mature ... when they find CrossFit earlier in their life."

I wish crossfit would make more videos focusing on the younger teenage athletes. As a teenager doing crossfit, I absolutely love this video and have to admit I watch this pretty much every day - truly inspiring.
you make videos
She is actually a very big inspiration to a lot of young girls.
So I guess weightlifters weights are fake too since they use the same plates? shut the hell up.
not just an inspiration to women, but men as well, across the world! such a positive vibe!
I wish I was 10 years younger when I started CrossFit... so lucky
awesome! gonna share and save this video for my 5 year old daughter. great job girl!!!!
I love all the people bashing her, and saying crossfit is shit. I bet most of you are overweight, sitting on you're asses eating twinkies, and doughnuts. At least she is doing something that she loves.
the people who hate crossfit are mainly bodybuilders and powerlifters.
How can anyone dislike this video!! It's inspirational!!
I admire her determination, strength & dedication sooo much. I'm 14 years old and have been lifting for about a year.. I hope to be like her one day.
Study, lift, go home, eat, study, sleep, lift, and study definitely story of my life and loving it!!
What a person, What a woman and What determination she has, please continue inspiring Lauren because if the world had more people like you in it fear and impossible would only be words.
THE PULLUPS haha wtf...I love watching these videos before I go to the gym. Motivates to keep proper form and technique lol.
the pull ups are actually in perfect form. and you want to talk about her form? she just won the JR national weightlifting championship
They're not pull-ups. They're kipping pull-ups. It's a kinetic chain movement instead of a pure strength movement. Now don't you feel stupid?
***** Said the person with "chocolate" in their name.
Just saying that if my name was something like "CheeseBurgerMan," then I wouldn't be ripping on people's choice of fitness activities.
I love you.
An inspiration, blown away... Go hard Lauren!
shes so pretty and beautiful :)
I know, right! Good genes. Evolution works.
they mean the same fucking thing dumbass
It's the thought that counts bro
As a father with 3 daughters this was inspirational. Looking forward to seeing her compete.
She shops in my store; never knew she was a cross fit goddess.
I am a yoga type guy, and I don't really like all the ego in cross fit. But I gotta say, wow, the results really speak for themselves. The sport v no sport debate is entirely semantic and useless. This girl is beautiful, does what she loves, is passionate. How can you be opposed to it? Seems really ignorant to be so dogmatic.
Joseph Ott
pff dogmatic? my biceps r fuly automatic but they are my dawgs tho
take that you hippie
Joseph Ott Hi Joseph,
haters gonna hate, that´s it.
Joseph Ott Come clean, you watch lots of porn!
Being a 14 year old boy and starting CrossFit at 13 I find this just amazing. Making me feel like I do have a place in this sport.
Who would give this a dislike? She is awesome. stay strong!
What a gifted, beautiful, young woman. All the WAY with this crossfit Lauren!!
ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS
One of my biggest role models in life.. I only just found Crossfit at 16 but I love going to the gym and being treated as an equal. I hope that one day I can be as good as Lauren and Garret but until then they will continue to be my inspiration to train hard, ignore the haters and follow the path I want in life!! Amazing Vid (:
This gives me so much motivation!
Awesome interview. She is really incredible and i like the idea she do what she love. Her facial expression says it all... Go Lauren!!!
This young woman is remarkable! Bravo to you and bravo to your parents!
she is such an inspiration, honestly look up to her and hope to be half as good as she is one day
Damn impressive. Nothing but respect.
Much respect. She, and other women like her (young and older) will change the way men look at women, and how women look at women. Aesthetic beauty is the cherry on top. Strength and performance is the goal. And man, she handled that 185 squat clean like a boss!
This is awesome! As a fellow crossfitter, it's so good to see and hear these things! Strong is the new skinny!
How can you say doing crossfit is a gift from above? It's just hard work and dedication, it's not a talent you're born with.
yes
Hard work and dedication yes (and yes, she has that-loads of it) but to be as good as she is you also need a gift. And she has that as well.
MrPanSzymon I'd disagree. True hard work and determination is the biggest part of it, but physically any amount of both of those will only take you so far. After that it's all passion and willingness to suffer. And that's the part that is the gift, some people just don't have that in them no matter how hard they push or try it's just not there. Some people have just these ways of doing things that you can tell are not average, they just move a certain way, or think a certain way that separates them from the norm.
This is beautifully motivational!
this is just beautiful.... sport... passion... power... life!!!!!!!
wow what an awesome girl. proud of her accomplishments
cf makes you capable of doing lots of things you never can imagine
She's awesome, such an inspiration
Hoping I look like her after 2-3 years of hard work at CrossFit :)
Feels weird aspiring after and looking up to someone nearly 10 years younger than me, but she is impressive and truly an inspiration. Going to be thinking of her from now on when a workout gets tough.
No better videos on Crossfit than Jay Vera's. Always produced to the max. Good job Jay, and keep pushing it Lauren. I remember seeing this high school girl lifting atlas stones in the parking lot at 209 and being amazed. Sky's the limit and CF209 is always rooting for you and Garrett! Great story.
my idol! i love lauren, shes such a role-model and an elite athlete.
Beautiful! I love how more and more girls are motivated to lift starting at a young age. I've been doing Olympic lifting since I was 8 and have seen nothing but benefits because of it. Can't wait to see what this girl does in her future!
im the only one that fall in love with her?
noooo
These crossfit videos are awesome. Extremely motivating keep it up.
Very inspiring young woman...
Worth a watch
#respectlaurenfischer
this is epic!!! i love girls who just push forward and do what she wants to do and shut out other peoples comments
this girl is amazing!
Congrats to Lauren Fisher...way to make your hard work and dreams a reality...Welcome to the 2014 CrossFit Games!!!! Wonderful story you share in how the "Sport" of CrossFit allows you to truly express your potential...keep on being the Champion that you ARE!!! God speed :)
So inspiring. Keep it up Lauren!
Having brothers definitely pushes you to excellence. I wished I had one :(
DAMN! she just motivated me.
These are some strong as women. And I like it. I love seeing a woman who can handle herself shit is sexy
Amazing! such talent and drive!
She is amazing!
Absolute Inspiration! Always motivates me to work harder for the dreams that I look to achieve in the future! Beautiful
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Not from what others think. I think that it's her drive and heart to be who she wants to be is beautiful. She is physically and mentally beautiful.
Fantastic story and a good lesson for everyone interested in or skeptical about Crossfit. Everyone gets something different out of the same sport and this is a great example of what dedication can bring to anything. Props to her.
'We can be whatever we want to be, we just have to work harder than everyone else.'
Careful. That kind of talk can get you audited!
This girl is amazeing
Inspiring stuff. Amazing to see her work so hard. Keep it up lady, you will do amazing.
I just love this video so much.
This is so inspiring!!

I have respect for Lauren because she is dedicated to working hard on improving herself. She worked hard to get her body to look as good as it is. I wish more young ladies would display the same desire and mental toughness Lauren has at working out. Lauren seems to enjoy doing what doing and her determined work ethic proves it.
this is 100% the type of woman who deserves me. I'd love to meet her.
lol not sure if srs or if intentionally sounding like a stuck up derp
Very serious. She'd probably have no problem getting a man like me.
;lol stuck up jackass
TheDannyAdventures Forget these beta's hating on you brotha! Thats the attitude! Don't ever sell yourself short!
im a beta, but at least im pretty sure that makes this dude a gamma LOL
Inspiring to the core. Will definitely be watching this space :)
Americans seem to have such extreme ass gyms. We never have anything like this, at least not where I live in the UK. It'd be awesome to have a big group of family like people to workout with an take advice from. She's inspiring for sure, was going to skip gym today as it's a Sunday, but screw it. I'm gooooooooooooneeeeeeee!
croosfit gyms are all over the uk now. look them up
Holy crap cakes I actually think there's one where I live! I just googled it! The website isn't working though so I've got a feeling they've closed down :(
I'll have to check! It's a shame it's a bit far from where I'm going to be moving to......but I can make it stretch potentially! I'm so stoked! I am checking this out, thanks, I actually didn't think it existed lol.
Mark Kearns Thats good, sick and tired of crossfitters bringing their bad form/technique to the REAL gym and giving poor advice
Beautiful...stay humble, and you will continue to be beautiful all your life. Good luck with the games!
Your my absolute idol
wow, i wish i had started crossfit this young, awesome girl, she's gonna be a beast in the future thats for sure
She is so beautiful
My lord she is unbelievable !
Great to recall.. Revive... What can it be.. Passs present.. Joy... Album heart
Healthy and athletic = beautiful! Way to go Lauren.
Best video ever.
inspirational, great video
Lauren you are a 11/10.
what about women that are attracted to her to, is that gay?
lol
She is a beautiful person, best of luck to her.
I love her so much
i started at 16 and im so happy i did
Beautiful.
inspiring story,thank you for sharing
She's awesome :)
A great motivator & feat to follow.
Very Motivating
Lauran your my hero !
Great motivation for me! Started weightlifting a couple months ago and want to try and get into cross fit just need to work on my endurance since I can do all the weight events!
this girl is awesome
What a great video!! Hopefully I can do the same with my daughter:-) thank you for sharing your experience!!
She's a great role model for both women and men.
feminists should celebrate women like this instead of fat disgusting pigs.
+Wulf plus they'll try to sell a can of Coca Cola , hypocrites
+nicolas1999444 you fucking idiot feminism is about accepting people of all body types, al religions, all races, all genders, all sexualities EVERYTHING idiot. As a feminist, I would support her as much as I would support a plus sized model.
+Sushi subedi you shouldn't support a "plus sized model" because that is encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle
Jack Schnead no, there is nothing wrong with a plus sized woman who loves her body. It is not your ideal type? cool, move on. You don't want to be like that? Cool, move on. You hate them for being like that? Kindly fuck off. It is there body and they have the right to love it. If you do not like it, look away and think of a reason you don't like it and also how they can fix that in 5 minutes. Oh wait, they can't lose weight in 5 minutes? That's right, because losing weight is a process that should be made because THEY want to change, not because of some bully.
+Sushi subedi plus sized is not healthy alright. they need to fucken lose weight and get some discipline.
Respect!!!. Lauren!!…. you will win the games sooner than what you think. Keep up with the hard work.
WITH THAT, GOOD LUCK LAUREN!!
Wow shes so inspiring (;
This vid is amazing
I love Lauren
You are my new role model keep going
motivating.. hard work + dedication ;)
Genuinely inspirational to watch. And 'skinny' girls don't tend to survive in the real world because most of them are physically and mentally underdeveloped. You are now in a position to change the hearts and minds of many young women, I hope you keep making the right choices!
That's awesome! a MuscleInnovations tips. Our main mission is to innovate your body and musle like this inspiring one
You're so beautiful Lauren! Keep up the good work and don't let anyone bring you down!
Perfect title
Really impressed about this video
I really like lifting weights
I'm the same as u with 3 brothers and my self
Only female of the brothers.
It's always pushing your self to the nest level!
Yeah maybe crossfitters use shitty form on some movements but atleast they are doing something not sitting around hating on the keyboard . Lmao cyber pussies nowadays
Crossfit is like a sport for professional non-athletes. Many people behind a keyboard can still be fit people. Please do not speak poorly of them as to make their opinions seem lesser.
As an 18 year old crossfitter how can I not crush on this girl?
