I am so surprised, I honestly never thought Rich would sit down and talk shop with Andrew Hiller. But we need these kinds of exposure for the sport and athletes. Continued great work Andrew.
@@hillerfitcause he's a legend and you are some dude in Downers Grove, IL making clickbait crossfit videos... jk, I have become a regular to your channel. Clicked and subscribed and commented. Btw, I live in westmont.
Crazy that we have been watching and listening to Rich for 12+ years, and yet here we are, still listening. The impact he had, and is still having on the sport / company of crossfit is almost immeasurable. His gym is full of everyday people getting fit and elite athletes training for peak competition. Nowhere else like Mayhem. Also, Saxon is an awesome dude for his perspective. Thanks for the video Hiller.
Didn’t expect to see Brits in the middle of Tennessee. But this is such an overdue interview, and I’m so glad that Rich was amenable to bringing you in.
Barista has big Mal O’Brien energy. Rich is 100% heart and community and everything an athlete should be. Froning VS. Frasier isn’t even a real question and Saxons sermon was fantastic.
hiller is becoming the "60 minutes" of crossfit. sometimes he's steve crofft, sometimes he's andy rooney and its all good. way to go mr hiller, you're doing it
i think a lot of non-hiller followers will see this and be like, "damn Froning sat down with hiller? that's crazy..." but after following Hiller for a while now and when people realize he's actually not the "CrossFit Troll" that people have made him out to be: he's just interested in providing content by having the most honest, raw discussions about CrossFit and the people who've made their name doing the sport.
Samethin happened with the AWESOME HALEY ADAMAS piece Andrew did. Athletes would be smart to lean in and take part with Hiller & The rest of the SEVAN crew in the space. It is the saving grace for media content to keep the sport relevant from all angles. They do so may different things. NO ONE TRICK PONIES with that crew.
Okay second comment; but this video makes me want to open an affiliate! Seeing the ins and outs of mayhem, and the heart behind and the community. This is top notch media bro!
So I am just going to say that this is what crossfit has actually been missing as far as media and everything goes. I am a huge mayhem fan and do their programming. To see the behind the scenes of everything was what many of us wanted/needed. You sir have carved yourself out of the rest of the media in crossfit and have set a new standard for delivering content. If you go back and watch some of their previous content "the barn" is a sacred place that only a select few got to be invited to, even when they were training. Granted yes I know that the new athlete gym takes away from that but still to be invited there is significant. The fact that many of them knew who you were and what you were about but still being the honest and receiving they were is amazing as it shows respect for what you are doing.
Sports are like life. Straight forward grown ups chatting about anything and everything no matter where what and how and these where 2 people that are great examples of that. Might be your coolest video yet
Love this content. Reminds me of the old school crossfit videos where Sevan, Tyson, Mars, Heeber, etc would go visit different athletes and hang out. This is the content that will drive people into affiliates.
I'm a crossfitter of 15 plus years, and an avid mountain biker. Rich's finish at Leadville is just as impressive as anything he ever did in the crossfit space. At his body weight to have that much endurance at altitude, he is a truly one of the best athletes of all time.
Rich describing winning the games being like Christmas but the next day already thinking about what you want next year is the perfect description. Bear should be reaching out to Rich immediately if he hasn't already...he could have his own hunting line with them. Lets go Hiller this is sick
Dude, beyond impressed, I know I'm going to be watching this multiple times. The work you've done thus far has helped make this year pretty damn interesting.
Saxon is the man. Really cool to see a younger up and comer talk like that and speak so highly of the affiliates, coaching, and really standing up for the methodolgy. Big fan. This whole video was awesome. 👏🏽
Outstanding. Hiller's 48 Hours series episodes are killing it. They are well-edited, never static, and Hiller is unafraid to make interesting observations and ask tough questions.
This interview needs to be gold-plated and made required viewing by ANYONE interested in fitness and training. Lots and lots of wisdom here. Thanks, Andrew. A great podcast. Rich vs. Mat? Please. No contest when all of sport and life is considered.
Great video and really enjoyed your talk with Rich. I have been watching CrossFit content since 2011 and I think your videos with the athletes are some of the best!
This was a great watch, so well done man, I love Rich & the Mayhem empire. Also love what you, Sevan, Taylor and all the guys have been building too, keep it up brother
This is so great Andrew. Thank you for creating and sharing. Love the depth, intentionality and purpose that you craft in these conversations. Love hearing Saxon speak about OG culture and connection to methodology. I've noticed a shift in culture from when I started in 2009 and being in multiple gyms over the years. The culture has changed and it is frustrating to watch the younger generations of both games athletes and every day people in the gym not encourage each other through the end of workouts, learn the full methodology and understand why this sport is a special community. Appreciate more of this type of content from you and the "text thread media gents". Big thank you.
Wholesome video, great production, nice B-rolls, great questions.. the champ comfortable enough to admit he was being childish.. Hiller just might be able to MCFGA
Andrew Hiller, Well done sir! This is far and away your best work yet. I love how you thread in and out of your discussion with Rich with footage from your time at mayhem.
That was amazing. I liked how you segmented the interview with droning throughout the video. I watched the whole video on normal speed. I never do that in any video. That is high praise from me
This was amazing all around, Andrew. Being able to get to know the athletes on this level is not only inspiring and insightful, but it creates a level of buy-in that us “regular” crossfitters need to keep the spark alive.
Probably one of the most interesting CrossFit related documentary/content along with Haley's video in recent years. I think CrossFit ought to be paying you for promoting the sport so well.
@HotTagWrestling everything I've seen of HWPO shows basically an empty gym. Matt comes across as someone who isn't into promoting crossfit or the community. Mayhem looks like the complete opposite. Full gym, community focused and promotes crossfit. Rich is a leader in our community, Matt is milking it. Just my opinion
@@lakota_stuhwpo isn’t a gym open for the public, you can’t drop in or just workout there if you want to. Mayhem is one of the biggest affiliates and communities in CrossFit. Completely different
If Froning is truly clean, he is absolutely Michael Jordan/Captain America/Superman rolled into one. Even if he isn't, what he did and does is amazing...
Excellent video. Great insight to Mayhem, athlete training (prehab!), and especially Rich's perspective on the sport, training and his legacy. Thank you.
It's impressive how good you're getting at producing long-form content. I certainly didn't click the link to this video expecting to watch the full show, but the content was so engaging, start to finish, that I couldn't put it down.
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and format. Saxon and Roman had such great insight. Would love to see a Level 2 minimum to coach at the games. Camps can’t promote at the games unless they are an affiliate. Love Roman it’s not judges fault or crossfits fault if the rep is bad, it’s mine.
I am so surprised, I honestly never thought Rich would sit down and talk shop with Andrew Hiller. But we need these kinds of exposure for the sport and athletes. Continued great work Andrew.
Dare I ask why
@@hillerfit oh it just didn't seem like a connection was to be made there. But as a longtime Mayhem fan and recent Hiller fan, I am so glad you did.
@@hillerfitcause he's a legend and you are some dude in Downers Grove, IL making clickbait crossfit videos... jk, I have become a regular to your channel. Clicked and subscribed and commented. Btw, I live in westmont.
Why were you surprises?
One of my favourite Hiller videos
hiller and the rest of the sevanverse doing more for the sport than anyone else
Avengers assemble (Sevan would hate that lol)
@@hillerfit I thought you were DC Universe! (now I am upset lol... Marvel all day!)

Thanks for the video Hiller.
love the edit cuts with the interview with rich. more content like this. reminds me of classic crossfit media.
Can do
Really nice cuts. I like it
The message Saxon spoke to is spot on.
Amen!
💯
best CrossFit vid of 2024 so far. "Road to the Games" vibes
Awesome video thanks Hiller!
Love Saxon’s perspective, seems like a genuine hardworking guy who cares about CrossFit methodology.
Didn’t expect to see Brits in the middle of Tennessee. But this is such an overdue interview, and I’m so glad that Rich was amenable to bringing you in.
Not long ago there was Australians and Icelanders in the middle of Tennessee...
Barista has big Mal O’Brien energy. Rich is 100% heart and community and everything an athlete should be. Froning VS. Frasier isn’t even a real question and Saxons sermon was fantastic.
This should be the synopsis of the video.
I had to pause and rewind to check if I was delusional seeing Mal at the cafe.
hiller is becoming the "60 minutes" of crossfit. sometimes he's steve crofft, sometimes he's andy rooney and its all good. way to go mr hiller, you're doing it
This has to be one of my Favorite CF related videos. And…Saxon is one of my new favorites. 12 years in the sport and my thoughts and feelings exactly!
i think a lot of non-hiller followers will see this and be like, "damn Froning sat down with hiller? that's crazy..." but after following Hiller for a while now and when people realize he's actually not the "CrossFit Troll" that people have made him out to be: he's just interested in providing content by having the most honest, raw discussions about CrossFit and the people who've made their name doing the sport.

Didn’t think I could love Rich and the Mayhem brand any more than I do, but after watching this, I was wrong! Well done, Andrew! 👏
Saxon's mindset is spot on. Great video... and interview with Rich. Thank you, Hiller 🦇
Didn’t see this coming but I am glad it did, love the content Hiller and Rich is the GOAT!
Agreed
🦇🐐
Wow a 90 minute Rich, Hiller and Mayhem movie. Giving this a thumbs up even before watching. These videos have been amazing Hiller!!
Okay second comment; but this video makes me want to open an affiliate! Seeing the ins and outs of mayhem, and the heart behind and the community. This is top notch media bro!
Every time I've met Rich, he's generous with his time. Solid guy, phenomenal father, and the best ambassador for the sport.
So I am just going to say that this is what crossfit has actually been missing as far as media and everything goes. I am a huge mayhem fan and do their programming. To see the behind the scenes of everything was what many of us wanted/needed. You sir have carved yourself out of the rest of the media in crossfit and have set a new standard for delivering content.

The fact that many of them knew who you were and what you were about but still being the honest and receiving they were is amazing as it shows respect for what you are doing.
Saxon just went up ten fold in my opinions of him after this. Best thing you’ve done Hiller imo
You must have never watched any other content with Saxon.. he's been legit
I always enjoy content on Rich and Mayhem. Can’t wait for the Kill Rich live feature to air.
Sports are like life. Straight forward grown ups chatting about anything and everything no matter where what and how and these where 2 people that are great examples of that. Might be your coolest video yet
Love this content. Reminds me of the old school crossfit videos where Sevan, Tyson, Mars, Heeber, etc would go visit different athletes and hang out. This is the content that will drive people into affiliates.
LOVED Saxon's input !!! Agree with him 1000%

Born Primitive would be great. But I'd expect Rich would be doing that stuff with Mtn Ops, since he's with them for their subpar supplements.
Dude, beyond impressed, I know I'm going to be watching this multiple times. The work you've done thus far has helped make this year pretty damn interesting.
Thank you for making this, reminds me of the “good ol days” of CrossFit when they made videos like this.
One of the best, most natural Froning conversations - including his own podcasts!
Saxon is the man. Really cool to see a younger up and comer talk like that and speak so highly of the affiliates, coaching, and really standing up for the methodolgy. Big fan. This whole video was awesome. 👏🏽
Damn. Hiller killing it as always. You and Sevan and the crew are all I care to keep up with on UA-cam anymore. Great work!! Keep that shit up!
Outstanding. Hiller's 48 Hours series episodes are killing it. They are well-edited, never static, and Hiller is unafraid to make interesting observations and ask tough questions.
This interview needs to be gold-plated and made required viewing by ANYONE interested in fitness and training. Lots and lots of wisdom here. Thanks, Andrew. A great podcast. Rich vs. Mat? Please. No contest when all of sport and life is considered.
This format was awesome. Loved the cuts in and out of the interview. Awesome job Hiller
Another gem, Hiller. Young Panchik preaching truths is just out of this world.
Great interviews and inputs from all. Love watching people who run towards solutions with full hearts instead of crumbling under the problems.
The editing is so smart!!! 👏👏👏
Great video and really enjoyed your talk with Rich. I have been watching CrossFit content since 2011 and I think your videos with the athletes are some of the best!
Great video bro.
Rich is the GOAT more for what he has built outside of competing than anything.
I took the pic with the red 6,14. So honored to have that up there. Makes me smile.
Great work, Andrew
Dude ... Saxon's section was incredible. A lot of wisdom in that part of the video.
This was a great watch, so well done man, I love Rich & the Mayhem empire. Also love what you, Sevan, Taylor and all the guys have been building too, keep it up brother
Dude, what has gotten to you! Your videos just keeps getting better. You are becoming the saving grace of crossfit.
Excellent video! Well done Andrew and all in the video too!
The ending was outstanding.... "Wanna go workout?" Absolute perfection
This video is incredible Hiller. Your growth and commitment in this space is extremely motivational! Thank you for showing what is possible.
Good interview and great content. CF HQ take note.
This is so great Andrew. Thank you for creating and sharing. Love the depth, intentionality and purpose that you craft in these conversations.

Appreciate more of this type of content from you and the "text thread media gents". Big thank you.
This is amazing content. I love every bit of it and strongly agree with Saxon. More athletes need to be a part of affiliates.
Didn’t expect this ❤Welll done as always!! We need more!! You’re a good dude Andrew 🦇!!
Probably the best crossfit video i have seen in a very long time. Froning is defo the goat
Wholesome video, great production, nice B-rolls, great questions.. the champ comfortable enough to admit he was being childish.. Hiller just might be able to MCFGA
So glad Rich agreed to this interview. Love seeing Hiller at Mayhem
Andrew Hiller, Well done sir! This is far and away your best work yet. I love how you thread in and out of your discussion with Rich with footage from your time at mayhem.
That was amazing. I liked how you segmented the interview with droning throughout the video. I watched the whole video on normal speed. I never do that in any video. That is high praise from me
This is incredibly well-done. I love the rawness of the footage 👏🏼
Amazing video amazing editing awesome conversation between you and Rich and all the athletes
Such great content. We need more of this is a sport. It truly elevates everybody involved.
This is going to be epic 😜so chuffed to see bill with you too this exposure will help him a lot wicked stuff Andrew
Paul🏴
That was superb great content 😊awesome job
Paul🏴
Brilliant! Top interview! 🎉
Great video. Rich really shot straight with Andrew during the interview.
It’s reminiscent of the old days. It is raw conversations and quality content.
Well put together, entertaining, and informative! Thanks Andrew!!
INCREDIBLE!!!! Really well done and excellent way to set a video like this up. ❤❤❤❤
That was really good quality. Had a documentary feel to it. Great job
BEST EPISODE! Great fit with Mayhem. Thank‘s!
Absolutely spiffing this sir!
Facundo has become James Blunts twin
Roman is my favorite athlete. Happy to see him getting better with his english & communicating better.
This was amazing all around, Andrew. Being able to get to know the athletes on this level is not only inspiring and insightful, but it creates a level of buy-in that us “regular” crossfitters need to keep the spark alive.
This is awesome great video
Glad you finally able to talk to mayhem
Hiller, you are doing an awesome job! Keep it up!!!
58:54 Saxon Preaches the Good Word!! Too much wisdom. Respect.
Lots of great interviews in here Hiller. Good to see the "No-Rep Guy" is now finally getting to do what he originally set out to do!
That was really good! I loved the back and forth clips. Very engaging!
Bravo Hiller! Another great one! 🎉🎉
Awesome Saucem!! Great video!!
Probably one of the most interesting CrossFit related documentary/content along with Haley's video in recent years. I think CrossFit ought to be paying you for promoting the sport so well.
Love this type of format for an interview/podcast! It’s brilliant 🔥🔥🔥
The difference in vibe between Mayhem and HWPO is crazy!
Can you explain so I understand the comparison?
@HotTagWrestling everything I've seen of HWPO shows basically an empty gym. Matt comes across as someone who isn't into promoting crossfit or the community. Mayhem looks like the complete opposite. Full gym, community focused and promotes crossfit. Rich is a leader in our community, Matt is milking it. Just my opinion
@@lakota_stuhwpo isn’t a gym open for the public, you can’t drop in or just workout there if you want to. Mayhem is one of the biggest affiliates and communities in CrossFit. Completely different
Thanks Andrew! Something worth watching! Appreciate it.
Loving the cut style here with the interview pieced in. Well done.
Great work Hiller
Awesome job Hiller!! Very well done and very watchable!!!
If Froning is truly clean, he is absolutely Michael Jordan/Captain America/Superman rolled into one. Even if he isn't, what he did and does is amazing...
This was a really thoughtful and well put together video, Hiller! Also, holy moly Roman's english has gotten crazy good so fast!!!
This is great hands down one of the best
Excellent video. Great insight to Mayhem, athlete training (prehab!), and especially Rich's perspective on the sport, training and his legacy. Thank you.
🔥 work once again 👏Arielle Lowen next man!
Great stuff. I enjoyed how you produced this and the cut-ins brought good breaks. You continue to grow.
It's impressive how good you're getting at producing long-form content. I certainly didn't click the link to this video expecting to watch the full show, but the content was so engaging, start to finish, that I couldn't put it down.
Loved this whole video. Great work, Andrew!
Best one I’ve seen. Admittedly, I’m a huge rich fan. I also think it was really good because it felt less biting and a little more authentic.
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and format. Saxon and Roman had such great insight. Would love to see a Level 2 minimum to coach at the games. Camps can’t promote at the games unless they are an affiliate. Love Roman it’s not judges fault or crossfits fault if the rep is bad, it’s mine.
🐐CrossFitter + 🐐CrossFit UA-camr
Awesome comment
Andrew, you did a great job in this format, similar to Haley interview. Thank you!
This is media GOLD
Great video Mr. Hiller!!
Saxon gets it!
What a piece of content 💯 🔥
This is the content I want from CrossFit. Greta job Hiller!
