So great to see Ryan and Lindsay excelling across so many disciplines. They’re athleticism and class blows my mind. Whenever I see them at races they are kind and such good sports. I remember Ryan leading at Toughest Mudder Whistler at like 4 in the morning stopping to help a whole group of people through Block-ness Monster. He just lifts people up around him without any drama.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so invested in the first episode of a UA-cam series before. Also never watched a video that made me want to workout more than this one. Bring on episode 2!!!
It would be better if they did a crossfit games type video where you see all the athletes involved for the full duration of each event. It would also be nice if they showed the placement within each event instead of just showing how the leader board changes as the result of the events.
heck, they don't even give the results of the events. sort of a nonsense production. i'll keep watching, but i'll watch cockroach races, so there's that.
I'm pretty excited that Lauren Weeks is doing so well. She's such a phenomenal athlete. Hardworking and humble. I am rooting for her and Webster. Get it ladies!
I don’t know whether I want to crush on Sam Briggs or Grant McCartney because these two are the most unbelievable humans. Not only utter beasts in terms of fitness, but amazing people!
For those that want to skip the drama & prep part: heres the timestamps: Mens Spartan cross - 7:15 Womens Spartan cross - 11:35 Mens open water swim - 16:25 Womens open water swim - 18:10 Highland games: Tug of war - 21:25 Stones - 27:30 Sled tool - 32:35
What a diversity of elite athletes! Respect and admiration to all! Hunter is unreal! Loved to see the tug of war with him & Curt, so close and pulls back, unbelievable!
After watching this i learned to respect different discipline. We are not created equal. And thanks to this spartan which developes social interaction to each other. Aho aho!
Thank you for the great content. I do hope that you release another series on the games, where we can see each individual event play out as it happened versus a summary/condensed version that we are getting here.
I’ve been waiting for this for awhile. It was well worth the wait. Great 👍 production. Cool digital score boards and updates. Each event was clearly described. Men’s tug of war was epic.
Wow this is amazing, i only found out about it two days ago, i love exercise and do it everyday, i am 60years old, and have walked 205 miles in the last 3 weeks, this really inspires me to train even harder.
I loved watching this!!! I’m so pumped Hunter is being the freak Athlete he is!! You have to respect his abilities as on of the best athletes on the planet!!!
Just signed up for my first ever Spartan race for Oct 2021. 10 months to get in some sort of shape and this is extremely awesome and motivating! Great timing for me!
Great i am going to train to become a Spartan, i turn 61 years old this June, but have always done exercise since i was a child, this gives me something to aim for, just walked 205 miles in the last 3 weeks, and just walked my first marathon last week, after walking 50 miles the past 5 days, ill train alone along the coast, until i reach my goal!!.
really well put together by the production teams ... both the video team and the obstacles / course design teams.. excellent work and thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait for next episode!
I'm running my first spartan race this summer. Watching some of these athletes struggle is intimidating but exhilarating aswell. Can't wait for the rest of the season
@@SpartanRaceTube I want to do the sprint to start. I plan on participating in the one in Pennsylvania. I have a long road ahead of me to prepare physically and mentally and I need to get clothes for the event but im ready to take the next step!
Loved the show! I’ve been watching beastmaster, titan games, and different other competitions and this really is a great one, having all this amazing athletes from different disciplines is just spectacular! Wish Hunter doesn’t get severely penalized since in my opinion is the most complete athlete of all! Bring on the next chapter! Arooooooo
@@andrewthompson9206 still hitting somebody into the stomach is not even close to fairplay. The beast Hunter is in fitness is impressive but his personality is shit.
WOW WOW WOW ya ansiaba ver los spartan games ver a Ryan atk lyndasy Nicole Aaron hunter sheriff , pero WOW Faith i sock es fuerte ya quiero ver los demás episode
Yes. The editing is sooo annoying. And you don't even show the results for each race, and only show the running total. What??! I couldn't even tell if my faves even won their TOWs or not. On the results, you didn't even show how many swim laps were completed by each athlete!!
yes im much more interested in watching things unfold in real time, all these 1 second clips are annoying and give literally 0 context into whats actually happening in the contest
Is the main goal of Spartan games to find the fittest man on earth? I thought CrossFit games is doing that already, but I absolutely love this series. hope they invite more CrossFit elite athletes to take up these challenges. Please have Mat Fraser and Tia next year if this is an annual event.
The random seeding for the 1v1 single elimination events sort of completely invalidates the point structure. If you happen to get the #1 as your opponent, you can get 0 points when you potentially could be #2 and get 18. And 18 points is a massive swing completely due to RNG.
Yeah, really not really ideal. I understand the time issues involved, but if you want a sport to be taken seriously (and if you put 100 grand in price money into it, I think you do want that), it has to be less luck based.
That's true and less than ideal indeed, but the impact is actually lower than that because this was only one part of a 3-part Strength game (adding the rocks and the hammer challenges), and the ranking points were awarded only for the 3 workouts combined (i.e. if you were to win both the rocks and hammer workouts, you could potentially still win the 25 pts even with a direct elimination in ToW). ;)
Love this! Can't wait for the races to start up again. I predict Lindsey W. will take the crown for the women. Not sure about the men. I believe it's going to come down to the last event.

Don't forget that Briggs is almost twice as old as some of the other competitors.
Love that Sam Briggs called it a workout...sign of a true CrossFitter. You did awesome!
ya i caught that to
Here for Kristi Eramo! So badass girl we love you, you crushed it!!!💕💕

thanks daniel 🙏
"Why we got to run so much!?" Welcome to Spartan Grant! I'm excited to watch you during the Games.
I hope you release a full length version that shows the entire races and events.
It would be better if they did a crossfit games type video where you see all the athletes involved for the full duration of each event. It would also be nice if they showed the placement within each event instead of just showing how the leader board changes as the result of the events.

Hunter McIntyre is a great heel. The mistake was not throwing the bucket at the back of his knees.
I thought he was dolph ziggler for a second lmao
23:46 Literally the most intense, anxiety inducing tug o war match i have ever seen LOL! Jeeezus that was nuts
I love the Spartan game idea! This should be an annual thing!
we're planning on it 😏
This is just what spartan needed! Love to see all the competition💪🏾💪🏾
💪
I'm pretty excited that Lauren Weeks is doing so well. She's such a phenomenal athlete. Hardworking and humble. I am rooting for her and Webster. Get it ladies!
Really enjoyed this. Love or hate Hunter... The man can put on a show.
love him!
Who would hate hunter hes been a top dog for Spartan besides some other legends in ocr you gotta respect him no matter what!!!
This was fantastic!! So entertaining to see athletes from all disciplines and sports of life compete against each other. Love it!!
Love the content, makes me miss all the races more
This is making me miss racing even more! Keep em coming.
I don’t know whether I want to crush on Sam Briggs or Grant McCartney because these two are the most unbelievable humans. Not only utter beasts in terms of fitness, but amazing people!
These are some truly badass people. I am too old now but wish I could do what they are doing. Totally inspired. Wow man, just wow.

I'm watching this at 10pm drinking a Dr. Pepper. I've never been so ashamed of myself.
lol same!
🤣😂🤣💯
Hunter is super human. Absolutely love that guy. Even his attitude, he's earned the right to be how he is.
Love this concept, and really enjoyed the production for this episode- very intriguing!
glad you liked it chad
Sick content. Ready to watch all of their Journey’s
thank you
I love it , I’m teamHunter 😆😍😍 , I miss the Races
Love the dedication to bring this all together team. Appreciate that. Also Hunter is a beast.
Been waiting for this release and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for the rest to come.
I’ve been waiting for this for awhile. It was well worth the wait. Great 👍 production. Cool digital score boards and updates. Each event was clearly described. Men’s tug of war was epic.
First time I have ever clicked on notifications. Outstanding concept presented in a compelling contest. Awesome
That men's TOW final was EPIC!
Really stupid how they didn't give them uniform cleats. Unfair how only a few had cleats.
Wow this is amazing, i only found out about it two days ago, i love exercise and do it everyday, i am 60years old, and have walked 205 miles in the last 3 weeks, this really inspires me to train even harder.
Despite Im not a big fan of Spartan, I must admit this was fun and Im excited for more!
I loved watching this!!! I’m so pumped Hunter is being the freak Athlete he is!! You have to respect his abilities as on of the best athletes on the planet!!!
Love this show. Vermont is beautiful.
Great first episode. That was really entertaining to watch.
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes
Loving this already. The edit, the competition, all the new challenges. Cant wait to see more
The ninja warrior dude seems soo nice. Loved the events and slick production.

This is awesome. The Olympics but more epic
I loved watching that bucket bounce off Hunter's back. #bulkpony
That bucket is still in rehab 🤕💪🏽wins races
Hunter is just keeping things spicy...that guy got his feelings hurt because he knows he didn't stand a chance in that race...lol
@@andrewthompson9206 Not sure how you mean. Aaron was 4th. Hardly a not stand a chance guy
@@AdrenalineandAdventure he came in about 6 minutes behind Hunter...a 6 min difference on a 5k course is what I mean by not standing a chance
@@andrewthompson9206 still hitting somebody into the stomach is not even close to fairplay. The beast Hunter is in fitness is impressive but his personality is shit.
That’s my Coach Lauren!!! Looking forward to the next episode!
Thought it was great. Feel no penalties for Hunter or Aaron. That’s why they are Beasts!
WOW WOW WOW ya ansiaba ver los spartan games ver a Ryan atk lyndasy Nicole Aaron hunter sheriff , pero WOW Faith i sock es fuerte ya quiero ver los demás episode
Well done Spartan! Can't wait for the next one!
Yeah! Hi from Argentina.
Loved the 1st episode... It just makes me miss racing so much 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Man this makes me miss racing even more! This was so fun to watch!
Love the competition! Gets me pumped for 2021 races!
AMAZING WORK!!!!! Sami Kattan is very talented man 👨🏻
So stoked for this! Awesome stuff, Spartan!
This was awesome! Definitely going to watch the next one!
Hmm Faith is good and as a CrossFit fan I’ve never seen her compete or hear of her
Can’t wait to see the rest of the challenges!
I loved watching this. All fired up for the race season to start.
Aroo from the Philippines!!!! 🇵🇭💪🏻
AROO
"That's not fake meat, that's real dangerous meat on a man." LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Spartan Motivation, it works for everything ✨✨🔥🔥
I agree
Great work to all of the athletes!
This is AWESOME! I can't wait to get back to racing next year! :D
Can you please release versions that show more of the actual race in real time. This is so edited.
Yes. The editing is sooo annoying. And you don't even show the results for each race, and only show the running total. What??! I couldn't even tell if my faves even won their TOWs or not. On the results, you didn't even show how many swim laps were completed by each athlete!!
yes im much more interested in watching things unfold in real time, all these 1 second clips are annoying and give literally 0 context into whats actually happening in the contest
Here for Briggs 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Great first episode can’t wait for the rest!
This editing is incredible!!
Ready for more!! This great!!
This first episode is too lit! 🔥
Would love to see full event coverage in the future!
Awesome show, can’t wait to see the rest
I love Hunter. He is so funny
Great first episode love it.
Is the main goal of Spartan games to find the fittest man on earth? I thought CrossFit games is doing that already, but I absolutely love this series. hope they invite more CrossFit elite athletes to take up these challenges. Please have Mat Fraser and Tia next year if this is an annual event.
quite possible they got invitations. We won't know who did and turned it down/had conflicts. Would love to see that too though.
Fittest endurance athlete
Excellent athletes, a lot of motivation to continue training 👏🏻

This season was so much better than season 2
Damn, can’t wait to get back on the course.
same chris same
amazing athletes, this is epic!!!!!!! good event!
I demand you publish episode 2 immediately! I’m completely obsessed with the hybrid athlete thing right now. Bring Nick Bare on the next season. 🤙🏼
Woo! You got me pumped!
Love this. Love the competition and competitiveness- no one wants to see a bunch of summer camp games and singing Kumbaya. LFG
Lol. Hunter. I love this kid.
