I wish crossfit would make more videos focusing on the younger teenage athletes. As a teenager doing crossfit, I absolutely love this video and have to admit I watch this pretty much every day - truly inspiring.
I am a yoga type guy, and I don't really like all the ego in cross fit. But I gotta say, wow, the results really speak for themselves. The sport v no sport debate is entirely semantic and useless. This girl is beautiful, does what she loves, is passionate. How can you be opposed to it? Seems really ignorant to be so dogmatic.
I love all the people bashing her, and saying crossfit is shit. I bet most of you are overweight, sitting on you're asses eating twinkies, and doughnuts. At least she is doing something that she loves.
One of my biggest role models in life.. I only just found Crossfit at 16 but I love going to the gym and being treated as an equal. I hope that one day I can be as good as Lauren and Garret but until then they will continue to be my inspiration to train hard, ignore the haters and follow the path I want in life!! Amazing Vid (:
What a person, What a woman and What determination she has, please continue inspiring Lauren because if the world had more people like you in it fear and impossible would only be words.
MrPanSzymon I'd disagree. True hard work and determination is the biggest part of it, but physically any amount of both of those will only take you so far. After that it's all passion and willingness to suffer. And that's the part that is the gift, some people just don't have that in them no matter how hard they push or try it's just not there. Some people have just these ways of doing things that you can tell are not average, they just move a certain way, or think a certain way that separates them from the norm.
Yeah maybe crossfitters use shitty form on some movements but atleast they are doing something not sitting around hating on the keyboard . Lmao cyber pussies nowadays
Crossfit is like a sport for professional non-athletes. Many people behind a keyboard can still be fit people. Please do not speak poorly of them as to make their opinions seem lesser.
Much respect. She, and other women like her (young and older) will change the way men look at women, and how women look at women. Aesthetic beauty is the cherry on top. Strength and performance is the goal. And man, she handled that 185 squat clean like a boss!
Hoping I look like her after 2-3 years of hard work at CrossFit :) Feels weird aspiring after and looking up to someone nearly 10 years younger than me, but she is impressive and truly an inspiration. Going to be thinking of her from now on when a workout gets tough.
No better videos on Crossfit than Jay Vera's. Always produced to the max. Good job Jay, and keep pushing it Lauren. I remember seeing this high school girl lifting atlas stones in the parking lot at 209 and being amazed. Sky's the limit and CF209 is always rooting for you and Garrett! Great story.
Beautiful! I love how more and more girls are motivated to lift starting at a young age. I've been doing Olympic lifting since I was 8 and have seen nothing but benefits because of it. Can't wait to see what this girl does in her future!
Americans seem to have such extreme ass gyms. We never have anything like this, at least not where I live in the UK. It'd be awesome to have a big group of family like people to workout with an take advice from. She's inspiring for sure, was going to skip gym today as it's a Sunday, but screw it. I'm gooooooooooooneeeeeeee!
Holy crap cakes I actually think there's one where I live! I just googled it! The website isn't working though so I've got a feeling they've closed down :( I'll have to check! It's a shame it's a bit far from where I'm going to be moving to......but I can make it stretch potentially! I'm so stoked! I am checking this out, thanks, I actually didn't think it existed lol.
Fantastic story and a good lesson for everyone interested in or skeptical about Crossfit. Everyone gets something different out of the same sport and this is a great example of what dedication can bring to anything. Props to her.
Congrats to Lauren Fisher...way to make your hard work and dreams a reality...Welcome to the 2014 CrossFit Games!!!! Wonderful story you share in how the "Sport" of CrossFit allows you to truly express your potential...keep on being the Champion that you ARE!!! God speed :)
Genuinely inspirational to watch. And 'skinny' girls don't tend to survive in the real world because most of them are physically and mentally underdeveloped. You are now in a position to change the hearts and minds of many young women, I hope you keep making the right choices!
So she gave up basketball, an actual sport, to get better at the sport of "getting fit". CrossFit is form of training, i'm not sold on whether it's an actual sport.
Doesn't matter what it is bro. If she has more fun competing in crossfit that's good for her. As for it being a sport, it consists of olympic lifting, running, climbing, sweating your ass off. If Golf can be a "sport" than I don't see why this can't be
You're calling basketball an actual sport. Actually a totally artificial sport made up by a man named Naismith in White Plains, N.Y., for their YMCA, to keep soccer and Rugby players in shape during the winter. If CrossFit is not a real sport, basketball certainly never will be.
Carter Fogelman whoa man, do not compare a display of mathematical, sociological, and psychological mastery to the degenerate cousin of olympic lifting that became addicted to crack.
+Michael Pon it's a full body movement that requires coordination. Also, something that a lot of people seem to not know is that kipping pull-ups are a crossfit exercise in their own. Crossfit workouts sometimes call for kipping pull-ups and sometimes call for strict pull-ups.
Its so funny seeing comments from people on things the just personally don't care for. Its a matter of taste. I know people who think country music sucks it has millions of fans. Its called personal preferences. If you don't think crossfit is for you ,I am cool with it. I personally don't care anything about distance running,cycling or iron man competitions but I respect those who do it. It beats being a couch potato ,now that's a waste of talent.
Im 18 and im doing competition for crossfit. I wish I had her lifestyle. Crossfit and college. It's unfortunate I have to also work on top of those two things. I wish I could just quit my job but unfortunately I cannot. She's so lucky she doesn't need a job. I wish I could do that and focus on crossfit and college. :/ she's amazing
Omg my basketball team has to do crossfit and I love it and nobody goes to my games and I also kinda want to continue in crossfit too. This is hard considering I've done basketball my whole life.
well hi i am 16 i was a plwerlifter for a year and i saw crossfit videos like a week ago so i said i would give it a try and it was awsome i lkked it alot and i am going to do it every sunday so wich you luck ps i am also stubborn and where i live i am the youngest guy who trains so wish me luck
Walt Hester That's another thing, does society really think that? I think the media is all about that and because of it people automatically add in society. This girl is amazing looking. I'm willing to bet a TON of guys like fit and strong girls. It's pretty well known that a ton of guy like girls with bodies (T&A)
Inspirational.....don't forget to reach back and mentor another young person who doesn't have the opportunity to me inspired by a supportive family.. I did and you can see in front of your eyes the metamorphous and pay off!! Continued good luck and congratulations..
She's such an inspiration, I dream of being someone like her but I don't think crossfit is a thing in the UK and also no one would take me serious to get me started as I'm one of those 'Skinny girls' unfortuatly its my genes sadly enough :// also don't have the funny to fund this stuff
crossfit pull ups are a joke , all that swinging that is put on that .. just hilarious . she's amazing though, not only fit as fuck but cute too , would bang her mom though
I wish crossfit would make more videos focusing on the younger teenage athletes. As a teenager doing crossfit, I absolutely love this video and have to admit I watch this pretty much every day - truly inspiring.
you make videos
She is actually a very big inspiration to a lot of young girls.
So I guess weightlifters weights are fake too since they use the same plates? shut the hell up.
not just an inspiration to women, but men as well, across the world! such a positive vibe!
I am a yoga type guy, and I don't really like all the ego in cross fit. But I gotta say, wow, the results really speak for themselves. The sport v no sport debate is entirely semantic and useless. This girl is beautiful, does what she loves, is passionate. How can you be opposed to it? Seems really ignorant to be so dogmatic.
Joseph Ott
pff dogmatic? my biceps r fuly automatic but they are my dawgs tho
take that you hippie
Joseph Ott Hi Joseph,
haters gonna hate, that´s it.
Joseph Ott Come clean, you watch lots of porn!
I love all the people bashing her, and saying crossfit is shit. I bet most of you are overweight, sitting on you're asses eating twinkies, and doughnuts. At least she is doing something that she loves.
the people who hate crossfit are mainly bodybuilders and powerlifters.
shes so pretty and beautiful :)
I know, right! Good genes. Evolution works.
they mean the same fucking thing dumbass
It's the thought that counts bro
I wish I was 10 years younger when I started CrossFit... so lucky
She shops in my store; never knew she was a cross fit goddess.
I admire her determination, strength & dedication sooo much. I'm 14 years old and have been lifting for about a year.. I hope to be like her one day.
awesome! gonna share and save this video for my 5 year old daughter. great job girl!!!!
One of my biggest role models in life.. I only just found Crossfit at 16 but I love going to the gym and being treated as an equal. I hope that one day I can be as good as Lauren and Garret but until then they will continue to be my inspiration to train hard, ignore the haters and follow the path I want in life!! Amazing Vid (:
Study, lift, go home, eat, study, sleep, lift, and study definitely story of my life and loving it!!
What a person, What a woman and What determination she has, please continue inspiring Lauren because if the world had more people like you in it fear and impossible would only be words.
How can you say doing crossfit is a gift from above? It's just hard work and dedication, it's not a talent you're born with.
yes
Hard work and dedication yes (and yes, she has that-loads of it) but to be as good as she is you also need a gift. And she has that as well.
MrPanSzymon I'd disagree. True hard work and determination is the biggest part of it, but physically any amount of both of those will only take you so far. After that it's all passion and willingness to suffer. And that's the part that is the gift, some people just don't have that in them no matter how hard they push or try it's just not there. Some people have just these ways of doing things that you can tell are not average, they just move a certain way, or think a certain way that separates them from the norm.
THE PULLUPS haha wtf...I love watching these videos before I go to the gym. Motivates to keep proper form and technique lol.
the pull ups are actually in perfect form. and you want to talk about her form? she just won the JR national weightlifting championship
They're not pull-ups. They're kipping pull-ups. It's a kinetic chain movement instead of a pure strength movement. Now don't you feel stupid?
***** Said the person with "chocolate" in their name.
Just saying that if my name was something like "CheeseBurgerMan," then I wouldn't be ripping on people's choice of fitness activities.
I love you.
Yeah maybe crossfitters use shitty form on some movements but atleast they are doing something not sitting around hating on the keyboard . Lmao cyber pussies nowadays
Crossfit is like a sport for professional non-athletes. Many people behind a keyboard can still be fit people. Please do not speak poorly of them as to make their opinions seem lesser.
As a father with 3 daughters this was inspirational. Looking forward to seeing her compete.
Much respect. She, and other women like her (young and older) will change the way men look at women, and how women look at women. Aesthetic beauty is the cherry on top. Strength and performance is the goal. And man, she handled that 185 squat clean like a boss!
How can anyone dislike this video!! It's inspirational!!
This is awesome! As a fellow crossfitter, it's so good to see and hear these things! Strong is the new skinny!
she is such an inspiration, honestly look up to her and hope to be half as good as she is one day
Hoping I look like her after 2-3 years of hard work at CrossFit :)
Feels weird aspiring after and looking up to someone nearly 10 years younger than me, but she is impressive and truly an inspiration. Going to be thinking of her from now on when a workout gets tough.
No better videos on Crossfit than Jay Vera's. Always produced to the max. Good job Jay, and keep pushing it Lauren. I remember seeing this high school girl lifting atlas stones in the parking lot at 209 and being amazed. Sky's the limit and CF209 is always rooting for you and Garrett! Great story.
Awesome interview. She is really incredible and i like the idea she do what she love. Her facial expression says it all... Go Lauren!!!
An inspiration, blown away... Go hard Lauren!
ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS
im the only one that fall in love with her?
noooo
This young woman is remarkable! Bravo to you and bravo to your parents!
this is 100% the type of woman who deserves me. I'd love to meet her.
lol not sure if srs or if intentionally sounding like a stuck up derp
Very serious. She'd probably have no problem getting a man like me.
;lol stuck up jackass
TheDannyAdventures Forget these beta's hating on you brotha! Thats the attitude! Don't ever sell yourself short!
im a beta, but at least im pretty sure that makes this dude a gamma LOL
Beautiful! I love how more and more girls are motivated to lift starting at a young age. I've been doing Olympic lifting since I was 8 and have seen nothing but benefits because of it. Can't wait to see what this girl does in her future!

croosfit gyms are all over the uk now. look them up
Holy crap cakes I actually think there's one where I live! I just googled it! The website isn't working though so I've got a feeling they've closed down :(
I'll have to check! It's a shame it's a bit far from where I'm going to be moving to......but I can make it stretch potentially! I'm so stoked! I am checking this out, thanks, I actually didn't think it existed lol.
Mark Kearns Thats good, sick and tired of crossfitters bringing their bad form/technique to the REAL gym and giving poor advice
cf makes you capable of doing lots of things you never can imagine
my idol! i love lauren, shes such a role-model and an elite athlete.
This is beautifully motivational!
this is just beautiful.... sport... passion... power... life!!!!!!!
Fantastic story and a good lesson for everyone interested in or skeptical about Crossfit. Everyone gets something different out of the same sport and this is a great example of what dedication can bring to anything. Props to her.
Damn impressive. Nothing but respect.
this is epic!!! i love girls who just push forward and do what she wants to do and shut out other peoples comments
She's awesome, such an inspiration
Absolute Inspiration! Always motivates me to work harder for the dreams that I look to achieve in the future! Beautiful
Congrats to Lauren Fisher...way to make your hard work and dreams a reality...Welcome to the 2014 CrossFit Games!!!! Wonderful story you share in how the "Sport" of CrossFit allows you to truly express your potential...keep on being the Champion that you ARE!!! God speed :)
Worth a watch
#respectlaurenfischer
So inspiring. Keep it up Lauren!
Genuinely inspirational to watch. And 'skinny' girls don't tend to survive in the real world because most of them are physically and mentally underdeveloped. You are now in a position to change the hearts and minds of many young women, I hope you keep making the right choices!
Wish more girls were into lifting, so we could have more hotties out there
Very inspiring young woman...
She is so beautiful
wow, i wish i had started crossfit this young, awesome girl, she's gonna be a beast in the future thats for sure
So she gave up basketball, an actual sport, to get better at the sport of "getting fit". CrossFit is form of training, i'm not sold on whether it's an actual sport.
Doesn't matter what it is bro. If she has more fun competing in crossfit that's good for her. As for it being a sport, it consists of olympic lifting, running, climbing, sweating your ass off. If Golf can be a "sport" than I don't see why this can't be
The world poker tournament is on ESPN right now. If *that's* a fucking sport, crossfit can be one.
Carter Fogelman Amen to that lol. They wear glasses inside, ya kidding me?
You're calling basketball an actual sport. Actually a totally artificial sport made up by a man named Naismith in White Plains, N.Y., for their YMCA, to keep soccer and Rugby players in shape during the winter. If CrossFit is not a real sport, basketball certainly never will be.
Carter Fogelman whoa man, do not compare a display of mathematical, sociological, and psychological mastery to the degenerate cousin of olympic lifting that became addicted to crack.
Amazing! such talent and drive!
She is amazing!
DAMN! she just motivated me.
I just love this video so much.
Inspiring to the core. Will definitely be watching this space :)
Great to recall.. Revive... What can it be.. Passs present.. Joy... Album heart
The fact that people still complain about kipping pull-ups is ridiculous.
Cole McNair i know right? they don't understand that it's part of this sport.
Cole McNair How does kipping prove fitness, bedside the fact that you're able to contort your body in a way to make a regular pull up easier 20x.
+Michael Pon it's a full body movement that requires coordination. Also, something that a lot of people seem to not know is that kipping pull-ups are a crossfit exercise in their own. Crossfit workouts sometimes call for kipping pull-ups and sometimes call for strict pull-ups.
Your just mad because you don't have the coordination to do a Kipping pullup lmao
That's awesome! a MuscleInnovations tips. Our main mission is to innovate your body and musle like this inspiring one
My lord she is unbelievable !
Your my absolute idol
Its so funny seeing comments from people on things the just personally don't care for. Its a matter of taste. I know people who think country music sucks it has millions of fans. Its called personal preferences. If you don't think crossfit is for you ,I am cool with it.

inspirational, great video
i started at 16 and im so happy i did
inspiring story,thank you for sharing
Healthy and athletic = beautiful! Way to go Lauren.
Very Motivating
She's a great role model for both women and men.
im 19 and im jealous because i wish i started earlier like she did, but my dream someday is to compete at the games cus i love crossfit so much
WITH THAT, GOOD LUCK LAUREN!!
She's awesome :)
A great motivator & feat to follow.
Respect!!!. Lauren!!…. you will win the games sooner than what you think. Keep up with the hard work.
Im 18 and im doing competition for crossfit. I wish I had her lifestyle. Crossfit and college. It's unfortunate I have to also work on top of those two things. I wish I could just quit my job but unfortunately I cannot. She's so lucky she doesn't need a job. I wish I could do that and focus on crossfit and college. :/ she's amazing
As an 18 year old crossfitter how can I not crush on this girl?
Beautiful.
this girl is awesome
This vid is amazing
Wow shes so inspiring (;
I love Lauren
You are my new role model keep going
Omg my basketball team has to do crossfit and I love it and nobody goes to my games and I also kinda want to continue in crossfit too. This is hard considering I've done basketball my whole life.
And I'm the same age as her when she did this
Mya Quarture just go for what you love
+Mya Quarture bro crossfit = kipping and with kipping u won't make any progress, better do calisthenics pull ups and dips
You're so beautiful Lauren! Keep up the good work and don't let anyone bring you down!
well hi i am 16 i was a plwerlifter for a year and i saw crossfit videos like a week ago so i said i would give it a try and it was awsome i lkked it alot and i am going to do it every sunday so wich you luck
ps i am also stubborn and where i live i am the youngest guy who trains so wish me luck
I don't get why she's saying that at 5:20, she's skinny, strong and fine as hell so what guy is telling her no I only like skinny girls?
I don't think that what she said, or at least not what she ment. The society thinks "It's all about the skinny girls" but she knows better.
Walt Hester That's another thing, does society really think that? I think the media is all about that and because of it people automatically add in society. This girl is amazing looking. I'm willing to bet a TON of guys like fit and strong girls. It's pretty well known that a ton of guy like girls with bodies (T&A)
She has a great future ahead of her. She's one of my biggest inspirations, and we're the same age. Lol.
Perfect title
I think Lauren will make it
That girl is a beast!!!
loved it!
Inspirational.....don't forget to reach back and mentor another young person who doesn't have the opportunity to me inspired by a supportive family.. I did and you can see in front of your eyes the metamorphous and pay off!!
Continued good luck and congratulations..
She's such an inspiration, I dream of being someone like her but I don't think crossfit is a thing in the UK and also no one would take me serious to get me started as I'm one of those 'Skinny girls' unfortuatly its my genes sadly enough :// also don't have the funny to fund this stuff
Omg,she is really amazing. She is so beautiful and intellectual, my dreamgirl and that smile though
crossfit is super humble! No one will ever notice that you are fit unless you post about on facebook it or shoot a video :D
Amazing young woman
Impressive! Keep busting it and kicking ass!
Respect!
AWESOME!!!
I'm big into bodybuilding type lifting and yes some of their exercises look silly but you have to admit those girls are gorgeous!
Adore her
God she is indescribable
crossfit pull ups are a joke , all that swinging that is put on that .. just hilarious . she's amazing though, not only fit as fuck but cute too , would bang her mom though
ive never seen a swinging pull up in crossfit. ive seen plenty of people kip which is actually very controlled. never seen swinging though
CF Ryno" I've never seen a swinging pull up in cross fit" … Said no one ever..
CF Ryno 5:55 lol
Michael Mattheakis looks like a controlled kip to me
CF Ryno Isn't a kip basically an easier version of a pull up? I think that's what these guys are trying to imply by saying "swinging pull up".
And now she's back at the games as an individual
