I had to be the first to post on this. This video literally brought me to tears. As a coach, there’s NOTHING better than watching your athletes succeed, try and try again until they get it, and push themselves to their breaking point and beyond.
Share this with everyone you know. Jeremy captured perfectly what this community is all about.
Great Video! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Let’s Get It!
Favorite part is Bruce slamming out those pull-ups. Gives me chills every time.
That’s an amazing video… Kimbi and I are a little choked up right now!
Once again, GREAT job Jeremy!
CrossFit Open, here we come!
Expect Greatness
THAT WAS AN AWESOME VIDEO JEREMY (It was in all caps because I was screaming). Looking forward to some amazing achievements from everyone.
Awesome video Jeremy!! Looking forward to the open!
I’m seriously speechless, that was such an amazing video! I’ve now watched in 3 times
you absolutely captured the spirit of crossfit!
Can I just say how much I love these people!! I’m seriously choked up! AMAZING Jeremy! Thank you so much!
Excellent work, Jeremy. All of our Throwdown athletes were amazing to watch and they were the best looking bunch, too. thx for fixing them in a tangible medium of expression. p.s., is there any way to photoshop my arms to make them look like Dom’s?
Another great video by Jeremy. What a great way to start the open. I think I’ll be doing a few more burpees tomorrow after watching this.
It means alot to me that I get to add to this community in some way. I’m so glad you all liked it and so glad to see Kurt says it motivates him to do better tomorrow. That was the purpose.
Thank you to my wife, my muse, my love who gives her full heart and soul to the sport she loves and the community she adores. It’s an inspiration to me everyday.
For tomorrow, Rick said it best. Expect greatness.
Great job Jeremy. I don’t think you could have captured the spirit any better. I am not sure people on the outside can really understand how we can completely annihilate ourselves on a daily basis and love every minute of it. Hopefully when they see this video they will understand what kind of community we are all fortunate enough to be a part of. If this doesn’t get you ready hang it all out for the open then I don’t know what will! Time for some fun!!!!!
VERY COOL VIDEO JEREMY!!!!
GREAT JOB!!! VERY INSPIRING!!
(But why did the first workout have to be burpees?)
