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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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!!.
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'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!
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.
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!
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
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!
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!
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.
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). ;)
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.
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!!!
Can we see complete footage of each event, pretty please with sugar on top? 😁 It would also be helpful to see the athletes' ranking in each event and not just the overall standings.
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
What is up with Corinna's points? She got 2nd (18 points) in event 1. Then she got 12points in event 2 (4th), putting her to 30 points (20:36) after 2 events. But at the end it says she has 35 points after two events (34:31).
Oh man, great concept, so much better than the Crossfit Games! The elements are more real, more epic! So happy to see that someone agrees that having an olympic level clean and jerk is not as useful in real life as lifting up a huge stone! And multiple hour trail running is a MUST! Keep up this great work! Thanks for the content! Aroo!

thanks daniel 🙏
Love that Sam Briggs called it a workout...sign of a true CrossFitter. You did awesome!
ya i caught that to
Don't forget that Briggs is almost twice as old as some of the other competitors.
Here for Kristi Eramo! So badass girl we love you, you crushed it!!!💕💕
I hope you release a full length version that shows the entire races and events.

"Why we got to run so much!?" Welcome to Spartan Grant! I'm excited to watch you during the Games.
I'm watching this at 10pm drinking a Dr. Pepper. I've never been so ashamed of myself.
lol same!
🤣😂🤣💯
23:46 Literally the most intense, anxiety inducing tug o war match i have ever seen LOL! Jeeezus that was nuts
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
This is just what spartan needed! Love to see all the competition💪🏾💪🏾
💪

I love the Spartan game idea! This should be an annual thing!
we're planning on it 😏
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!

This was fantastic!! So entertaining to see athletes from all disciplines and sports of life compete against each other. Love it!!
Love this concept, and really enjoyed the production for this episode- very intriguing!
glad you liked it chad
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.
That men's TOW final was EPIC!
Really stupid how they didn't give them uniform cleats. Unfair how only a few had cleats.
Sick content. Ready to watch all of their Journey’s
thank you
This is making me miss racing even more! Keep em coming.
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.
First time I have ever clicked on notifications. Outstanding concept presented in a compelling contest. Awesome
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
awesome kennet which race?
@@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!

Love or Hate Hunter...He is the man. One of the most entertaining and kind persons I've ever met in OCR.
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!
Compelling, entertaining and inspiring. Loved every second of it. Will watch it again with my son tonight. Can't wait for ep2!
thank you 🙏
congrats on winning our giveaway marco. can you please email socialmedia@spartan.com to claim your reward.
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!!

Despite Im not a big fan of Spartan, I must admit this was fun and Im excited for more!
Love the dedication to bring this all together team. Appreciate that. Also Hunter is a beast.
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
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!
Been waiting for this release and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for the rest to come.
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes
The ninja warrior dude seems soo nice. Loved the events and slick production.
Watching all these athletes and CrossFit keeps me motivated to keep training in CrossFit 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
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!!!
Love this show. Vermont is beautiful.
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!
Great first episode. That was really entertaining to watch.
That's amazing! I can't wait the next episode!
That’s my Coach Lauren!!! Looking forward to the next episode!
It’s awesome to see some high level competition happening this year. Definitely adds some motivation!
I love it , I’m teamHunter 😆😍😍 , I miss the Races
"That's not fake meat, that's real dangerous meat on a man." LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks great. Can’t wait for the rest of this series!
Loved the show!

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.
This is actually super dope! I love seeing them throw in more strength challenges!
Hunter is super human. Absolutely love that guy. Even his attitude, he's earned the right to be how he is.
Loving this already. The edit, the competition, all the new challenges. Cant wait to see more
I love this show! Games are so awesome and idea is amazing! This should be on the air!
Love it! Such a diverse range of events levels the playing field
Full version please
Great event, athletes, and video production. Well done Spartan!!
Man this makes me miss racing even more! This was so fun to watch!
This is so great!! I'm super excited for the next episode.
Awesome first episode. Can’t wait for #2

Well done Spartan! Can't wait for the next one!
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. 🤙🏼

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
Great show, awesome competition, with amazing humans! Love to see the result of all those efforts! Aroo
Loved the 1st episode... It just makes me miss racing so much 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Aroo from the Philippines!!!! 🇵🇭💪🏻
AROO
This was awesome! Definitely going to watch the next one!
Loved watching this... any chance at doing this for the common racer too?
Would love to see full event coverage in the future!
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 the competition! Gets me pumped for 2021 races!
I loved watching this. All fired up for the race season to start.
This is AWESOME! I can't wait to get back to racing next year! :D
So stoked for this! Awesome stuff, Spartan!
AMAZING WORK!!!!! Sami Kattan is very talented man 👨🏻
Yeah! Hi from Argentina.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the challenges!
This first episode is too lit! 🔥
Are you releasing uncut footage? Would love to see that
Oh yeah
Great first episode can’t wait for the rest!
Here for Briggs 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
I love this! I cant wait to get back out there next year!
This is awesome. The Olympics but more epic
Woo! You got me pumped!
@Spartan Race where's Episode 2? You promised it for today and not seeing it yet!
Awesome show, can’t wait to see the rest
Ready for more!! This great!!
Great first episode love it.
Excellent athletes, a lot of motivation to continue training 👏🏻
Great work to all of the athletes!
Lol. Hunter. I love this kid.
Thought it was great. Feel no penalties for Hunter or Aaron. That’s why they are Beasts!
Can we see complete footage of each event, pretty please with sugar on top? 😁 It would also be helpful to see the athletes' ranking in each event and not just the overall standings.

Hmm Faith is good and as a CrossFit fan I’ve never seen her compete or hear of her
