I've read a lot of these negative comments about crossfit, all I know is that after 8 weeks I as so much stronger and faster. I have wonderful coaches who have also taught me about nutrition. I have never felt better.
"What are we working here?"
"Everything. That's CrossFit."
That's CrossFit aka 99% bullshit.
+runskidisc are you telling me you believe that sumo deadlift variant works your whole body
haha...lol. Lauren matching her grunting on the row machine was funny.
"what are we working here?"
"everything! it's cross fit"
hahaha he doesn't even know what muscles are being used
1:38 "What are we working here?"
On shoulder impingement. An important part of every Crossfitter's life.
Oana Mitrache Ahaha, nice!
The guys answer is comedic gold too "Everything. It's Crossfit."
Ares A Yeah really, I had a nice laugh. "Everything, its crossfit and im better than you, duh".
I can understand why people hate on Crossfit, but I still enjoy doing it. I do my compound muscle building movements first, then Crossfit for cardio. I always scale down heavier WOD's so I can perfect form. Plus being 6'6" really makes it a pain to do any type of pull-up, so pass unless they're strict.XD For people hating, I recommend they try it, but instead of going for time or lifting as much weight as possible, just focus on completing the workout with minimal rest time, its practically circuit training, just with a different name.
Badger sounds like regular CrossFit you do bro lol. I think everyone needs to find a decent box to go to and see what CrossFit, performed correctly, is like...which sounds pretty close to what you do.
Everyone wanna be a “Games” athlete and forget how to just train “CrossFit” standards. 🤷♂️
Shes fit,tall, beautiful, and has a lovely personality.
I came here to leave with a smile on my face by reading all the crossfit hate, and the internet did not disappoint lol.
I remember watching you on fb like 4 years ago on fb when I was a senior in hs. glad you are doing well on youtube and like I said 4 years ago...you are a 10/10 :)
awesome video, great job!
Lauren, you are a great host for this type of gig. Keep it up, I can easily see bigger and better things in hosting for you!
Love watching your videos - just great - you put everything into all of the challenges!
This is one of my favourite workouts!
great job! I think the best part about first timers is them finishing the WOD. No matter if its the first time or the thousand time, always the best feeling at the end!
That was hilarious! So fun to watch this.
Awesome job Lauren!!!
Your face when he explained the work/rest ratio was priceless, Lauren. FGB is no joke; did it this past Thursday. Great job pushing through!
-"what we are working on?"
-"everything. that's crossfit"
You did an amazing job!!!!
great effort and your awesome
Damn this chick is awesome, not many first timers can handle a workout like that. Love the push on the rower at the end. You can always tell what someone is really made out of at the end of a CrossFit workout.
Shes not exactly your "average" first timer though. This girl has gone though many many different types of activities and workouts. Its probably got her body conditioned to recover quickly and be able to handle just about anything she throws at it.
nice video :D
Great going Lauren - you are inspiring.
I have to say you impress me yet again. Amazing workout!
Awesome vid and the woman you went up against is more stacked than most dudes I know. Great job Lauren!
so awesome. I'm stealing this workout
Lauren is just a delight!
Nice Job !!
"Love your vids Lauren."Your amazing.love from London UK.😎
Great workout
Give it your ALL Lauren! Beauty is when you give your MAX not when you are in front of the cameras or when you are with other people. Good job!
I started cross fit last week, its fun and very challenging... My first work out was friday, so it gave me enough reason to stay home the whole weekend.. I was soooooore! HA!
That was a great question by the girl asking what the exercise is working. If all crossfitties did that, and they heard bullshit answers like "uh, everything, it's crossfit", more people would realized how unfocused and silly this whole thing is. It's also fitting that she asked that while he was doing those ridiculous sumo high pulls. One of the most worthless exercises that crossfitties preach.
Lmao! Loved it!!
I am so glad you hung in there you did an execellent job.
Wow! You must realy have the best job in the world!? And very nice videos!
Great work over there.Someone should have done it to prove that crossfit its not only for champs !Crossfit is for everyone.Well done Lauren!
ive done cross fit training in college and its tuff. lauren even though you looked exhausted at the end your still damn good at being fit, im pretty close to being intimidated, about being able to keep up with a wman such as yourself. thanks for doing these vids.
@3:56 "Why would anybody want to do this?" Lol, that gave me a good chuckle, but that's also how you know that you're fully challenging yourself. Much respect.
Wow.. Excited to try crossfit!
That dude has an ego.
good vibe
another great video, the workout place looks like a bit of a dungeon, but hey, still something different to check out :)
You killed it, yet again. The Navy seal boot camp was BA but this was top notch good job . I just had to give you a shout out! you should grab Reel Camera to get soem POV shots of your work outs..
I like how this got real serious real fast!
i figured you would scream wheres my milkshake! wow what a work out, good job and thanks for the video. gives an idea of what to expect.
my first workout was fight gone bad too...not fun lol you did great though! Love how you are able to NOT keep your composure but keep going...that's how I do it :P
Amen!
awesome
Yep love crossFit
We have a pilates class at our crossfit gym. I like all sorts of exercise, crossfit just seems to fit me better at this point in my life.
Excellent job! That workout is always rough.
You are a really good athlete!
Awesome Lauren! Was nice to see you break out in a "slight gloss of perspiration" LOL! I wonder what the level was for next day stiffness? Great effort!
I agree with all your criticisms. It grows, improves, and evolves every day.
Competing against Jenn is tough. She is the best! Love CrossFit Garden City !!!!!
Jenn is awesome coach!
Plus who doesn't like competition? That is part of the motivation factor in crossfit; beating your friends, and seeing improvements in your life in and out of the box.
It is amazing that some people think this is good for you. The lingo is cliche and they ignore her when she says it's too heavy and don't correct her when she is losing her form and that is not how to land properly for box jumps. It is an amazing business that has unfortunately taken off...but hey, at least it gives work to physios, osteos, massage therapists, insurance companies, etc etc.
She did really well!
how many rounds should i do in a day if i am new? and hould i do it like evry day? looks fun!
Also gymnastic movements.
I think they do inovate in a couple of moves, specially when it comes to "efficiency"(kipping), or setting standars in some movements, like box jump.
In our school they changed sport from random games to crossfit, it is fuuun!
I've been doing crossfit for 6 years (before there was even a box in my city). I was recently injured for the first time. It was my fault for not listening to the coach who insisted that I drop the weight of the kettle bell in the WOD. I will say that at 45 I am in better overall shape than I was when I was 18 (although today I can't run a 50 second quarter like I could back then). All I can say is, science or no science, it works.
Watching this is motivating me to get back into my SUPER HERO PHYSICAL FORM ,
I wanna try it :)
"what are we working here?"
"everything...its crossfit."
love it hahaha
i have to agree. i love a woman who takes pride in her physique/trains.
this was an awesome work,
Can you please answer me, How did you feel in the next day?
nice, gj girl!
gained new subscriber :)
It actually happened to me. I was doing the Grace WOD and my form went a little bit during the workout. The main trainer was on vacation and the fill in wasn't watching my form very well. I was only thinking about crushing my previous time, which I did, but I later found out that I damaged a ligament in my back, which made my back muscles tighten up like a cramp. I went through physical therapy and in the end it was just time that I needed to fix it....2.5 years of time it took.
She reminds me of Jessica Biel :)
+Idosify91 Genetically very similar
+Idosify91 right!
I was thinking the same thing
NICE!
Lauren, you got Heart!!
tuff skilled and beautiful way to go Lauren
i dont see how lauren doesnt have more subscribers. i thought she would have atleast 100,000
Lauren did really well having stepped to Fight Gone Bad. Pretty sharp learning curve there!
i will im subbing
I've been in and out of the gym for years and I can say for sure that crossfit even with
Staying in shape isn't easy!!
This is WAAAAY better than Man vs Food.
This is one thing I will never get. I don't care what you do, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding, but make sure there is PROPER FORM. This Lauren chick has terrible posture and this guy didn't give any corrective exercises. Most people have imbalances and bad posture because they have no clue what they are doing. Even the other chick, her shoulders aren't rolled like Lauren but she sure has APT.
You can't sort poor posture in less than a day.
Harry Wilkinson You both have a point, & hopefully (but unlikely) he pointed these things out off camera for her to follow up on.
I'm all for people doing whatever makes them be active. Lets all keep the hate down and be happy people are being active.
"In crossfit we have standards for everything" probably the most ironic sentence ever uttered.
Sooo true, the only standard for them is "the more fucked up, the better."
It should be changed to "Lauren succeeds at cross fit where others have failed hard". Great job!
At my CF gym they wont let us do anything unless our form is good!! My shoulders which have always had weakness and pain are now much stronger. My whole posture has improved!!
Good
You should try the spartan race or tough mudder!
I think I have to go Boxoutfitters today to start my Crossfit exercise.
Its fun to watch a weights person hit the crossfit. Its hard as hell for me. My BF does it and is great. Me not so much but working hard.

what happened to thumb distance?
TOP!
haters are gonna hate. Crossfit helps out with mobility, core strength, and many more. It is proven to be one of the most effective workouts out there. So try training for it for while and then see the results and how you feel. It's way better than using a machine or doing a lame bicep curl.
I see what your saying but cross fit is really dangerous and unhealthy if you don't know what to do / proper form . I understand if you have had extensive training in weightlifting before but if you just try to jump into it there is a good chance for injury . For instance I saw her doing the over head press wrong but what ever . ( I know because I weight lift / do HIIT workouts , so I'm not completely clueless )
+Zoie Smith in all fairness that guy is not a very good coach. Been doing crossfit for a while now and none of my coaches would have let their clients form break down that much.
Yes Kodee Howellmore my coaches are awesome. I agree totally.
I have thought about it but , my trainers for sports say you need to know the correct technique before you try doing anything for speed , I myself think its wrong if you go do crossfit without any previous back round in weight lifting correctly . However , all workouts work your core since it is a stability muscle :)
Samantha Nguyen ^^
cool
You rock Lauren! I find CrossFit to be a bit elitist sometimes, but it was cool to see how you did and an example of one of their workouts.
The workout they just did was a benchmark workout and there really weren't any technical movements involved. Actually, a lot of their workouts fall into their "metabolic" classification where it's just rounds of running, calisthenics and movements with moderately/light resistance. I agree, though, that continuing to perform heavy snatches even when form breaks down is seriously begging for injury. That is where having good trainers/coaches and knowing your own limits is super important.
I think you're one of the lucky ones. I've been to classes where the room was packed with about 35 people and only two instructors were available. I think that it can be a great workout for some - like folks who are already pretty fit (and the fact that you could 315 in the deadlift, tells me you were pretty fit) But I worry about the weekend warrior with very little fitness or lifting background.
That's tough! >.
That's the great thing about cross fit, you can use lighter weights/lower height box jumps to complete the routines...so as long as you are quite fit you can do it...tremendous workouts. My only issue was the cost...I now go to planet fitness ($10/mth) but try and incorporate the routines that I learned that I can pull off at planet fitness (You have to be creative but it works for me).
