Growing Up Strong-Lauren Fisher

[@CaitHodges]

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.

[@YonasANDbuddies]

you make videos

[@laurenchaney5561]

She is actually a very big inspiration to a lot of young girls.

[@tatyannasenior12]

So I guess weightlifters weights are fake too since they use the same plates? shut the hell up.

[@zackattack528]

not just an inspiration to women, but men as well, across the world! such a positive vibe!

[@draegreen1690]

awesome! gonna share and save this video for my 5 year old daughter. great job girl!!!!

[@10Cnote]

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.

[@letisoler9868]

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.

[@mixanikos2]

Awesome interview. She is really incredible and i like the idea she do what she love. Her facial expression says it all... Go Lauren!!!

[@sattiecruz]

This is awesome! As a fellow crossfitter, it's so good to see and hear these things! Strong is the new skinny!

[@Genghiskhong]

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

[@OGSkillByJC]

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.

[@nguinguingui]

I wish I was 10 years younger when I started CrossFit... so lucky

[@gemmaculling8147]

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 (:

[@deem3749]

How can anyone dislike this video!! It's inspirational!!

[@mikewatson1079]

As a father with 3 daughters this was inspirational. Looking forward to seeing her compete.

[@coookieeex27]

she is such an inspiration, honestly look up to her and hope to be half as good as she is one day

[@alexnadon6999]

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.

[@alex-my8hp]

the people who hate crossfit are mainly bodybuilders and powerlifters.

[@wynonabraun6671]

This gives me so much motivation!

[@kymfarquhar4873]

An inspiration, blown away... Go hard Lauren!

[@angelodicicco6247]

Being a 14 year old boy and starting CrossFit at 13 I find this just amazing. Making me feel like I do have a place in this sport.

[@Nelly447]

Study, lift, go home, eat, study, sleep, lift, and study definitely story of my life and loving it!!

[@joshuagranger628]

These crossfit videos are awesome. Extremely motivating keep it up.

[@marisaJ]

She shops in my store; never knew she was a cross fit goddess.

[@Selena19G]

ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS

[@samgardner2883]

Who would give this a dislike? She is awesome. stay strong!

[@wildebeestproject]

This is beautifully motivational!

[@jeremysimmons9368]

THE PULLUPS haha wtf...I love watching these videos before I go to the gym. Motivates to keep proper form and technique lol.

[@herewego-pt8lf]

the pull ups are actually in perfect form. and you want to talk about her form? she just won the JR national weightlifting championship

[@navsquid32]

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?

[@navsquid32]

***** Said the person with "chocolate" in their name.

[@navsquid32]

Just saying that if my name was something like "CheeseBurgerMan," then I wouldn't be ripping on people's choice of fitness activities.

[@navsquid32]

I love you.

[@ChurchNewCreation]

shes so pretty and beautiful :)

[@carterfogelman4613]

I know, right! Good genes. Evolution works.

[@paddymurphy765]

they mean the same fucking thing dumbass

[@beefyisleafy5668]

It's the thought that counts bro

[@outtanuttin]

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.

[@RRtoiPPiotRR]

Joseph Ott pff dogmatic? my biceps r fuly automatic but they are my dawgs tho take that you hippie

[@Ouwkackemann]

Joseph Ott Hi Joseph, haters gonna hate, that´s it.

[@uni000ver000sal]

Joseph Ott Come clean, you watch lots of porn!

[@olorii]

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.

[@charley1seven]

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.

[@DenisaCap]

Absolute Inspiration! Always motivates me to work harder for the dreams that I look to achieve in the future! Beautiful

[@michellesantiago3143]

this is epic!!! i love girls who just push forward and do what she wants to do and shut out other peoples comments

[@shookadance]

Inspiring stuff. Amazing to see her work so hard. Keep it up lady, you will do amazing.

[@913NUPE]

This young woman is remarkable! Bravo to you and bravo to your parents!

[@arielstewart2693]

my idol! i love lauren, shes such a role-model and an elite athlete.

[@bartlettdrumming7629]

Great motivation for me! Started weightlifting a couple months ago and want to try and get into cross fit just need to work on my endurance since I can do all the weight events!

[@VictorHerbilla85]

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!

[@MrPanSzymon]

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.

[@sevensky_7]

yes

[@mitchcollins2947]

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.

[@cambolten8787]

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.

[@Zcavaricci23]

What a gifted, beautiful, young woman. All the WAY with this crossfit Lauren!!

[@shawnchong1046]

This is so inspiring!!

[@RiverWarriorFamily]

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 :)

[@NickgAnagnost]

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.

[@liamhopkins29]

So inspiring. Keep it up Lauren!

[@katiepolakowski7087]

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!

[@giovanniA15]

What a great video!! Hopefully I can do the same with my daughter:-) thank you for sharing your experience!!

[@baileydanielle5]

I just love this video so much.

[@angusdines8804]

Inspiring to the core. Will definitely be watching this space :)

[@kaliraglin5393]

She's awesome, such an inspiration

[@boobez89]

wow what an awesome girl. proud of her accomplishments

[@OscarSchneegans]

'We can be whatever we want to be, we just have to work harder than everyone else.' Careful. That kind of talk can get you audited!

[@963hz]

this is just beautiful.... sport... passion... power... life!!!!!!!

[@Lycian]

Damn impressive. Nothing but respect.

[@spideyjuano]

wow, i wish i had started crossfit this young, awesome girl, she's gonna be a beast in the future thats for sure

[@ThiVids]

Having brothers definitely pushes you to excellence. I wished I had one :(

[@muscleinnovations]

That's awesome! a MuscleInnovations tips. Our main mission is to innovate your body and musle like this inspiring one

[@lastsupernova]

inspirational, great video

[@nicolas1999444]

feminists should celebrate women like this instead of fat disgusting pigs.

[@bashardahrab9829]

+Wulf plus they'll try to sell a can of Coca Cola , hypocrites

[@sushisubedi4123]

+nicolas1999444 you fucking idiot feminism is about accepting people of all body types, al religions, all races, all genders, all sexualities EVERYTHING idiot. As a feminist, I would support her as much as I would support a plus sized model.

[@trentc2392]

+Sushi subedi you shouldn't support a "plus sized model" because that is encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle

[@sushisubedi4123]

Jack Schnead no, there is nothing wrong with a plus sized woman who loves her body. It is not your ideal type? cool, move on. You don't want to be like that? Cool, move on. You hate them for being like that? Kindly fuck off. It is there body and they have the right to love it. If you do not like it, look away and think of a reason you don't like it and also how they can fix that in 5 minutes. Oh wait, they can't lose weight in 5 minutes? That's right, because losing weight is a process that should be made because THEY want to change, not because of some bully.

[@tonyromochokemasternorings7581]

+Sushi subedi plus sized is not healthy alright. they need to fucken lose weight and get some discipline.

[@rodrigoriquelme4792]

im the only one that fall in love with her?

[@blackpinkstannn]

noooo

[@yamunazenger2030]

this girl is amazing!

[@KristinFuller990]

Amazing! such talent and drive!

[@algonsheriff]

DAMN! she just motivated me.

[@williamhudson3754]

William Hudson I have respect for Lauren because she is dedicated to working hard on improving herself. She worked hard to get her body to look as good as it is. I wish more young ladies would display the same desire and mental toughness Lauren has at working out. Lauren seems to enjoy doing what doing and her determined work ethic proves it.

[@The_strength_Chiro]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Not from what others think. I think that it's her drive and heart to be who she wants to be is beautiful. She is physically and mentally beautiful.

[@theoneandonly1440]

These are some strong as women. And I like it. I love seeing a woman who can handle herself shit is sexy

[@Christianfzr]

Best video ever.

[@creedzhang]

cf makes you capable of doing lots of things you never can imagine

[@BigD751]

this is 100% the type of woman who deserves me. I'd love to meet her.

[@JustinDBroughton]

lol not sure if srs or if intentionally sounding like a stuck up derp

[@BigD751]

Very serious. She'd probably have no problem getting a man like me.

[@JustinDBroughton]

;lol stuck up jackass

[@AgentZ3R0.]

TheDannyAdventures Forget these beta's hating on you brotha! Thats the attitude! Don't ever sell yourself short!

[@JustinDBroughton]

im a beta, but at least im pretty sure that makes this dude a gamma LOL

[@Sd_21224]

Worth a watch #respectlaurenfischer

[@brvaldez1981]

She is amazing!

[@MrPH3N0M23]

This vid is amazing

[@casseymatranga2663]

Really impressed about this video I really like lifting weights I'm the same as u with 3 brothers and my self Only female of the brothers. It's always pushing your self to the nest level!

[@lancepayne7309]

Very inspiring young woman...

[@elomeli71]

inspiring story,thank you for sharing

[@anklebreaka03]

Beautiful...stay humble, and you will continue to be beautiful all your life. Good luck with the games!

[@rodro6973]

Respect!!!. Lauren!!…. you will win the games sooner than what you think. Keep up with the hard work.

[@linettelow]

She's awesome :) A great motivator & feat to follow.

[@TropicalJuiceRules]

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!

[@IRISHLAXER77]

i started at 16 and im so happy i did

[@bookloverlori]

You are my new role model keep going

[@lightningrob4247]

This girl is amazeing

[@billbrun8098]

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

[@ramosuperman1475]

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

[@skipskops]

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!

[@kearnsmark]

croosfit gyms are all over the uk now. look them up

[@skipskops]

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.

[@jeremysimmons9368]

Mark Kearns Thats good, sick and tired of crossfitters bringing their bad form/technique to the REAL gym and giving poor advice

[@dakotawhite7776]

Lauren you are a 11/10.

[@TheSick83]

what about women that are attracted to her to, is that gay? lol

[@H3cTicBenj45]

She's a great role model for both women and men.

[@valerietabor5710]

loved it!

[@freerrr]

She is so beautiful

[@grygrskls]

She is a beautiful person, best of luck to her.

[@phyrisl2]

Wish more girls were into lifting, so we could have more hotties out there

[@Fleax1973]

Healthy and athletic = beautiful! Way to go Lauren.

[@evakuchinsky6700]

Your my absolute idol

[@AMarie-op3sd]

motivating.. hard work + dedication ;)

[@colemcnair5752]

The fact that people still complain about kipping pull-ups is ridiculous.

[@sarahalyssa7439]

Cole McNair i know right? they don't understand that it's part of this sport.

[@michaelpon8327]

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.

[@colemcnair5752]

+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.

[@beefyisleafy5668]

Your just mad because you don't have the coordination to do a Kipping pullup lmao

[@drakedanrod7]

As an 18 year old crossfitter how can I not crush on this girl?

[@Cookies205]

Impressive! Keep busting it and kicking ass!

[@iphonelover4610]

I love her so much

[@msmithdax]

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.

[@daripadi]

Wow shes so inspiring (;

[@williewilliams1010]

Great to recall.. Revive... What can it be.. Passs present.. Joy... Album heart

[@kev5920]

Very Motivating
