CrossFit - "Killing The Fat Man: Episode 8" with Gary Roberts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Get ready for a svelte Gary Roberts. After two months and 24 days of CrossFit, he's down about 70 lb. to right around 203 lb.
"I feel like worlds have gone by," Roberts says. "I just want to get more fit, more healthy, so I don't know where that final weight would be. It really doesn't matter. I'm pretty much feeling mentally unstoppable right now."
In Episode 7 of Killing the Fat Man-called "something happened, the last month"-Roberts is clearly a new man.
"I was offered sex two nights in a row," he reveals. "I've been hit on (by) at least eight different people in the last three days. And there was a man in there."
In this episode, we find Roberts in Portland, visiting his father. While there, Roberts takes him to CrossFit Stumptown, where the 67-year-old tells owner and head coach Tony Edgerton that he's had triple-bypass surgery, aortic valve replacement and pacemaker implantation.
"I don't know. I can't ... describe it, how great I feel. And I'd love for other people to feel the same way," Robert explains. "Like, I think if my wife and my daughter-if I can get them on board to kind of go through the same thing, it wouldn't feel so disconnected."

Go Dad! I had tears in my eyes seeing your dad at the gym , wishing it was mine...I hope he keeps it up...
his father is sooo cute, awwww this is lovely times together :)
kill that noise uh thanks.
kill that noise Haha I wish, sorry no I don't have a "fella"
kill that noise yeah, I just came here for crossfit.
Man...I feel like Gary has jumped the shark. Empowering yourself is only the gateway to self actualization. He's speaking of commitment to his box and WODs but dissing his commitment to his marriage, wife and daughter in the same breath.
Brother, they are one and the same. Don't fall into the trap that a healthy body that looks good naked will cure empty emotions.
Absolutely wonderful! I just started watching these today 5/26/18 and I am pumped. I am 55 and recently divorced, living off of fast food, and I needed to see this. I am going to change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you both and your family's are doig great.
Loved watching his dad work out....So cool!
That's so courageous of his dad.
Welcome to real life and real thoughts, real concerns, real hang ups, real hopes, real ego, and real self-esteem issues. Gary rocks in all his un-scripted, un-censored, and candid glory. Real guy sharing real thoughts and making real changes.
Crossfit is a drug! You get a boost of self esteem after every WOD! I was on a downward spiral before I started Crossfit. I was almost drinking a 12 pack of beer everyday! Crossfit has given me happiness like I can't describe! I love it so much, I don't know if I'll be in my current career much longer. It's opened my eyes to every possibility because it prepares you mentally and physcially for the unknown
I am going through the same thing with my wife. She is a nurse that just beats herself down for her hospital. She felt threatened at first. But now she is taking on the challenge to feel her best. She quit smoking, is eating better, spacing out multiple small meals, working out. It's a great thing to work on together. You can never feel too good. She went to a beginner crossfit class and is working on her strength to go back. I can't wait to see where we will be in a year.
Thanks Crossfit!.
I wish they would do a whole show on the Father now...he is so cute and I hope he stays with it
This is very motivating, I am not going to lie. But personally, I feel like there is too much talking going on, too much "Oh I feel so great, I am really doing something for the first time in 8 years". I think the idea is really great, and Gary is a hard worker and he really goes to show that you can do what ever you set your mind to. Massive respect to you, Gary. I just wish it would be more cross fitting and less talking, also because I think a lot of it is just him repeating himself. I think it would have been a whole lot more interesting if they had caught him at times where he wasn't 'high' on work outs and his results. Times where he has issues with going to the gym, where he lacks motivation and spirit. I don't want to come of as sounding negative, because the basics of this series is really good, great work, his coaches are all great, the moral and effort he puts in on a daily basis is amazing.
I understand why he's talking about being propositioned but no husband that values his vows, his wife, and his family will get so animated and excited about a being put in a situation where infidelity could've occurred. It's a great compliment on his progress in his physical transformation, but it doesn't say much about his emotional/spiritual transformation if he's getting that pumped about bathroom sex with a stranger then bragging to his wife about it. Stay the course Gary.
aaaannnd then the wheels fell off on the way to crazytown...so many awkward moments there...but his relationship with his dad is great. More of that.
Why do I get the feeling that he is gonna try to leave his wife for someone he thinks he get have now that he lost weight? She stayed with the fat you, she could have moved on long ago. The grass is rarely greener on the other side.
14:50 is absolutely priceless; to see Gary's father react to having accomplished something he may have given up on in his life. So brilliant to see Crossfit being scaled properly and demonstrated for everyone to see. The games are great, but to me this is what Crossfit is truly about.
Crossfit transforms lives! Recently single. Partner left me as a result of my getting better. After coming out of a 5 yr long bout with major depression after coming down with cancer, I found CF. I was still depressed at that point, but found motivation from CF vedios.
Watching them helped me understand that I was missing out on doing what I had been doing for most of my life: exercising! Complete and focused demands on the body that lead to self discovery. CF changed my life. So f*ck my ex.
I hope all these years later he and his wife are doing good.
Just checked. They’ve separated and have new partners...
His dad might be the sweetest old man ever.
If you're married and someone asks you for sex. Your first response should be. Thanks, but I'm married.
I love the genuine excitement on his face when he's watching his dad work out.
Just watching him now compared to episode 1 is incredible, almost a completely different person. if by any chance you're reading this Gary, well done man. you're so motivating!
The transformation in you Garry, is Amazing! And not just in your body, but everything. Your whole outlook is so good to see and watch. Good on ya' for getting your father down there and having a go too. I look forward to watching the rest of video's. Keep up the good work Garry. Go mate.!!
Cudos to you and i will give it a shot, i'm 43 and in the worst shape of my life. One thing though, as i was watching you. you said that you have never been hit on or that you never where the guy that someone said "i want that guy", you are married, right? Your wife is the one that said it at one point.
Cheers
2months & 24days and down 70+ lbs.. i am down with that
Gary's like a little kid on christmas morning! It's awesome to see how happy he is!
This guy is so open minded. It's awesome! Very inspirational
Given the number of times Gary has been propositioned, it maybe time for Gary's wife to step up her A-Game in the bedroom.
This episode illustrates that sometimes the ones you love are the ones who are the most discouraging. If I were to speculate, based on experiences I have heard from others who try to make a physical transformation, the biggest impediment to losing weight and getting in shape is the spouse. Wives, especially, start feeling insecure when their husbands lose weight/get fit, because much of the wife's identity, as with most women in relationships, is being the "more attractive one".
that doesn't seem the case here from the previous videos. It was his wife who continually wanted him to lose weight and get fit. Now that he is he seems to be building an ego. I hope they are still together though and that he stays grounded.
This is the best series of this type that I have ever seen. Gary, you are a great motivation for myself and I am sure many, many others. The results that you have achieved, both physically and mentally are inspirational. I think that the friction that has developed with your wife is only natural and I am sure that it will work itself out. Keep up the good work and please, please keep these videos coming!
I have to respect when a man (gary's father) like that goes and does something like that. It's hard to see it from his perspective for me, but it seems like it would take a lot pride swallowing. Lotsa respect.
Way to go Gary, way to go Dad!! Awesome inspiration for people out there.
I think Gary had a six pack before he stood outside that house and said too much.
Love when his dad goes "i've got strong legs" and taps them. So precious
Wonderfully put! I was thinking that exact thing.... beautiful authenticity!
Definitely my favorite episode
Glad to see his spirits so high!
Awesome to hear. In the words of Gary Roberts, "I'm going to change ME... and let's see if other sh!t comes together." :-) Good luck in your pursuits. Part of the challenge is just being around people that want you to succeed, and know how to get you there and that's what you'll find at a Crossfit affiliate.
Good on you for the results that you're getting Gary. And I'm going to echo the excitement on the new t-shirt too!
I keep going back to the "I'm going to change my life...and let's see if other shit comes together". You can make your journey; you can't force anyone else to come with you. Maybe your family will want to do it, maybe they won't. But non-stop preaching will just alienate you further and further from them. Don't be that guy.
You are so AWESOME Gary! Rock on
This guy is so funny I love it that he started taking his health serious and it changed his whole mental state
As great as Crossfit is, and I really do beleive that Crossfit is the ultimate fitness program, I love Crossfit, GOD IS GREATER STILL! He is the ultimate link between your physical, mental and spiritual self!
Love Gary's motivation though! It's contagious!
As great as God is THE FLYING SPAGHTETTI MONSTER IS GREATER STILL! All hail his noodly appendage!
When your on the journey and your talking to people who you are trying to talk in to getting on the journey remember you were there. Dont act like your better because your doing well.
HAHAHAHAHA 6:02
"You can't say don't take him to the gym because you might kill kim! What the fuck!"
Kaz Newton best part!
It's a mixed feeling! It's both inspiring and discouraging at the same time! Here Gary is almost 3 months in, and the results is huuuge, but the episodes goes so fast, one would think he's still at month 1 or 1½ here. I've been sweating my ass off for 2 weeks, doing good work true enough, but man it's tough xD I want to be at month 3 too!!
I re-watch this series almost monthly now, such a good source of true transformation and hope
Judge Reinhold will play Gary in the movie of his life.
Gary: thank you for sharing your journey. I wanted to begin Crossfit and share the journey with my husband. Watching your videos has inspired him to try. We are now in the elements course - together - and excited and hopeful. I hope to see your wife participate in your new lifestyle so that you can grow together rather than apart. Keep talking to each other.
p.s. Teenage daughter: Stop hanging all over a guy's lap on video that is seen by people across the nation. Have some self-respect girl!
haha in the first few episodes i thought that when he fell over the bar in the intro that the lady with the black hair pushed him haha
Hey! I just wanted to say, thank you for these videos! Very inspiring, especially for someone going through big lifestyle changes as well. :) Congrats! Especially for getting your dad involved - did the same thing with my mom. HOORAH!!
I love you, Gary!!!
KTFM season 2 coming! Can't wait buddy!!
You're an inspiration. Thank you so much.
This is perfect. These type of videos are the one I believe. I dont see any links about selling you stuf. He is selling you a way of living healthy.
He looks so different - Incredible change.
I want a t-shirt with Gary Robert's face on it, I would wear it everyday.
Love this guy!
gary roberts is the bomb!
But that's just it Gary, you did fake it until you believed it! So proud of you!!
Amazing! Gary looks like a different man after a month!
everyone is bashing the comments, and I'd like to see more work-outs and transformation pictures, but it's funny, and entertaining. people need to lighten up
Superdad and SuperGranddad right there man.
Holy crap! Lookin good Gary! And in clothes other than that black "Rock of the Nation Tee" too. Must've gotten too big for you lol
dude went nuts
You better do it Gary!!!!!! He looks like an entirely different person!!
The change in weight is insane..props
It was a rhetorical question. Family or not, it's bizarre to invite a middle-aged person to a party of young adults getting drunk. Thanks for playing, kiddo.
Gary kind of reminds me of Rob Dyrdek from the fantasy factory
Bless his dad
Sorry, I accidentally hit send on my iPad. Anyway, I can feel the close relationship between my daughter and I slipping away because she is getting older, similar to what happen to Gary and his daughter. I also have had trouble with starting things and not following through with them. I am visiting a local crossfit affiliate on Monday and giving it a go! Wish me luck!
I think his father did super great for his first time.
Is he missing a tooth? He looks amazing! Super insane transformation.
For some people here criticizing Gary cause of his reaction to people hitting on him, if you've never been fat or seen the disgust in girl's face as they tell you to "f@ck off fatty" or been told hundreds of times that "I don't date fat guys, they're disgusting" it can be hard to understand where he is coming from. Hopefully he won't let this change him but I'm not gonna bash on a guy for experiencing something that he never heard as a fat guy.
A lot of it might have to do with his diet as well. He sounds like he is a really strict paleo eater. Since his body isn't storing fat as much and has it available for energy hes burning it off faster.
"This happens to everyone?" Hahahah
fuck you can see the difference in him soooo clearly now. Congrats man.
this was cool
holy shit!! 'fluctuating between 203-204' ???? i've been crossfitting for 4.5 months & have lost 24 lbs & am only down to 208....what the hell.
"....if we weren't related"... eek!
lol lol you can't say don't take him to the Gym you might kill him .. WTF lol lol omg love me some Gary always have made me smile!! looking good buddy !!
Is this the last episode in the series? Would love to see how he improves a month/ half a year/ year from now, cause he's getting damn fast results :)
how many times a week does he train (or how many times a day)?
06:09 my thoughts exactly haha
I just found an affiliation near me, if I can find time between school and work, I will most defiantly dedicate it to crossfit!
203lbs! WOW!
Is it just me or does in shape Gary look kind of like James Van Der Beek?
"I've been concentrating on everything else in life but myself". I'm willing to bet you have a wife and daughter who completely disagree with that asssessment. And turning your fitness around is no magic elixer to fixing relationships.
Who invites a middle-aged man to a 21st birthday party?
that poor man....crappy food FUCKED HIM UP...smh.
I don't believe the story about being offered bathroom sex, but that's great that you've made such great progress.
Rid of fat ? Simple but no shortcuts...eat healthier, more times a day in smaller portions and do some exercise with some intensity. Have fun and be happy with your life :)
I am this guy! I am turning 39 on 5/31/2012 and I have a 10 year old daughter who I cam
Check that ego Gary. lol
I get why Gary is flying high, but dang, it's annoying listening to him think how great he is for 12 minutes. Way to put in the hard work, but leave that ego at the door.
man i read ur comment today and today is my 2nd day at a local crossfit gym, how is it after 9 monts that u posted ur comment?thx in advance
I would actually recommend consulting his cardiologist prior to him working too hard.
10:14 Good job
It was his family members, listen up next time champ.
too much commentary :/ was waiting to see the actual physical thing.
It's great to finally see him change his shirt. I'll bet it got pretty smelly...
How's that been going??
i know he is feeling great but he really talk too much and too much about his sex life. >.< his dad is awesome!
