Why Did you Start CrossFit?

[@hillerfit]

CrossFit Affiliate Owners. In the video description I have created short form, verticle videos to be repurposed for Instagram, TikTok, KZbin Shorts, or wherever. My objective with this was to tie together the community. Some free marketing for y'all courtesy of the 22 featured athletes and the Batman. 🦇

[@kathealy60]

WOW. Thank you. ❤

[@bobbiemoore7527]

This is amazing

[@chrisgilesinaustralia]

Great work Andy

[@beachhousecrossfit]

Thx Dude!!

[@melissakiel4999]

Thank you, @hillerfit 🤍 Thank you, athletes 🤍

[@jonschiebner4960]

This is the kind of content Crossfit HQ should be putting out. Well done! They owe you!

[@BHRAGE]

CrossFit HQ still exists? What do they do?

[@joeguzik]

This video is a home run! Go @hillerfit Go!

[@YacoBelgio]

That was my first thought as well

[@tomevans9192]

Was going to comment this too. Spot on

[@jegri024]

Amen to that

[@Barkely3721]

Thank you for showing there is still a connection between the Games athletes and the Crossfit affiliates. I didn't think it existed any longer. Love this!

[@jamie_weston]

Fucking incredible work, bravo to the athletes who jumped on this as well This is humbly some of your best work! 🦇

[@LeviTimko]

Hiller, the GOAT of CrossFit youtube. Done more than HWPO and PRVN put together.

[@BananaDanceMan]

HWPO and PRVN are grifters.

[@NorthBox_Sports_Fitness]

You nailed it!

[@tiony2]

But not mayhem 😅

[@Kent_sykes]

Just remember HWPO is a private gym that happens to be affiliated because HQ asked them too. You can't sign up there or do drop ins

[@USA2914]

3 years as an Affiliate owner, 12 years of Crossfit. Same box the entire time. Thank you for this. A little sad to see the athletes that are missing from this. Good on those that took the time, it means a lot!

[@clairesemple7997]

These are the athletes I admire and support, I'm kinda glad there are 'big' names who didn't participate.

[@guillermosanchez3434]

Literally had me in tears. In Sevan's words "This is Gold". amazing job Hiller.

[@marcocalderon8266]

Incredible video. Dang Arielle and Brent started before me in 2013. I started crossfit to replace my alcohol addiction as I was getting clean and I noticed I could use my metabolic conditioning background. While getting stronger.

[@emmaellis7257]

This an amazing video. Dallin got me with comment about moms in the gym, I have a six month old baby. Learning how to still stay active and train with him has been hard, but rewarding. My whole gym family helps when he is around and lives on him!

[@jlynnyay]

Amazing Hiller ❤ you’ve just given “ value” to the affiliate fee and showing CrossFit HQ exactly what the affiliate owners want for their fees: A media piece helping boost membership. Duh. Couldn’t be easier.

[@leecaporalli1]

Awesome. If you feel inclined to do one with Masters, teens and adaptive athletes. That would be the icying on the cake. The common folks can really identify with the regular working individual that fits their training into their daily schedules and make it to the games. . ❤

[@kenwalters5165]

Love Coltons quote "Walked in for Fitness, Found a Family" Theres the next shirt in the Colton line Travis.

[@RyanMoody]

This was very powerful Hiller. Thanks to all the athletes for providing their story!

[@jrgills]

I played Football in HS but then let myself go and gained a bunch of weight over the next 11 years. Then I heard from a cousin about Crossfit and saw they did box jumps and power cleans, and figured I would like the training since we did those things in Football…here I am nearly 4.5 years later in the best shape of my life and with great friends and memories from my community!

[@nursannie]

FANTASTIC! I hope you get more responses and we have a part 2. Great work Andrew.

[@beachhousecrossfit]

Part ✌🏼!

[@leebradford770]

And this from the Batman people are afraid of. Way to show the love for something we all hold dear. This was a great initiative and so good to hear from so many athletes

[@elkhound38]

This was awesome! Could be really cool to capture some master divisions to see even more longevity of crossfit. So proud of the athletes that volunteered to tell their story!

[@JuanaLove6931]

Omg! What a gift from you and all the athletes who spoke from the heart. Totally brought me to tears.❤❤

[@aznPoweRCreW]

This felt like the old school CrossFit videos that got me stoked to go to my CrossFit affiliate every day

[@TheCaveDastro]

You have, once again, outdone yourself 👏

[@spencerwhiteley78]

Well done to all the athletes who have taken the time to contribute. Nice job ❤

[@kenwalters5165]

Love it. Hiller Humbly drops in the Arielle Lowen trains in her garage at home whenever possible! (GOLD)

[@SpechtOU812]

Oh this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks for posing the question, and thank you to all the athlete’s who responded!!! I could “feel” their passion 👊🏻💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kenwalters5165]

Outstanding work Andrew. Over 10k views in 9hours and over a 10% like button smash. CF HQ bring this guy on he knows his stuff in every facet of the sport.

[@dan_kelly_cftbb]

60s in and and I have goosebumps, affiliate owner here - cheers dude ✌️

[@DenseUpdates]

CrossFit should be putting out one a day with every games athlete from last year. This is great Hiller!

[@RB-mn5ix]

Giving CF and it’s athletes a voice and a story. Well done.

[@melfarus]

Everyone in this video is amazing. The best, most organic ad for CrossFit that you'll ever see!

[@arturbcabral]

That made me emotional dude! What a fantastic video!!! Appreciate you and all these people so much!!

[@martinloftus6625]

Best work yet, Andrew. Inspiring testimonials. You should do one with regulat folks.

[@DavidWied]

Dude If i could like this 1000 times i would Awesome work Hiller🦇

[@5thWheelFitness]

This is truly inspiring, and I just want to say thanks for creating an amazing video representing our amazing sport CrossFit. It's awesome to hear the different reasons why people got started in or have enjoyed Crossfit but also when you listen to everyone's reasoning they pretty much all say the same few reasons. Community, Accountability, Purpose, Health. Everything that CrossFit represents!! Well Done

[@tylerharnish7158]

Thank you Hiller! Thank you for being an advocate for the community!

[@mccask]

Hiller is the CMO.

[@Rbonettjr]

I have wanted to join an affiliate and start crossfit for years. I finally made that decision a little over 4 months ago and it's the best decision that I have made in a long time. I love the community and this video was very powerful.

[@zachphillips8892]

Welcome!

[@bodycvc]

You're a good dude Hiller. Should do something similar with 1 min vids from affiliate owners and why they started crossfit and why they opened an affiliate. Thank you for what you're trying to do.

[@rodm49]

Yo! This… THIS is one of thee best promo on the CROSSFIT culture and how to RELATE to the super athletes.

[@bradleyvaughn6180]

Dude this has me pumped! Awesome video and props to the athletes who took a moment to send in a video 👍🏻

[@Pepesilvia267]

I love this video!!! Too often HQ only interviews the winners. I love seeing all the athletes and why they love CrossFit. It’s clear to see how they talk about CrossFit that they love it. Inspires me to restart my membership.

[@chichoquesada]

Dude how great! Congratulations; this is an amazing video. I made it to the Games 40-44 division. I want to lead my daughter by example. I want to know and confirm that I can do Amazing things, If you have a dream and you have a plan, work on it with all your heart and believe they God is good all the time. You can do anything you want! - A Way of helping affiliates is to give 1 year membership free if they send athletes to the Games. (Athletes can donate their prize to any affiliate in the world)

[@kyleschmidt0412]

This was awesome and the jab at Bryce had me in tears 😂

[@troyanglin9898]

Awesome job! Probably the best video I’ve seen on CrossFit since the early Fittest on Earth (pre covid) documentaries. Thanks for doing this. Let’s gooooo!

[@MediaByMando]

Dude. This is insane! Great work bro! Just remember “not many people know this but Arielle Loewen trains in her garage”

[@annaburman5556]

I absolutely love this! My husband just started at a local CrossFit gym and loves the community and the people as well as the workouts.

[@gray45374]

Your crowning achievement, Hiller. Well done and thank you.

[@SLC41071]

How good does that make you feel Andrew? You are helping everyone. Not just CrossFit people man. Good job!

[@shuey134]

Great video man, this is awesome. Big thanks to all the Athletes that participated, great to hear from you.

[@yahoshua2527]

The month of January I started adding CrossFit training in with my hypertrophy training, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday doing a Push, Pull, Legs split in the mornings and doing high intensity cardio that are CrossFit based in the evenings, Wednesday is active rest generally an arm day, Thursday Ive been doing Cindy keeping body on pull ups but ill use 60 lb dumbbells for the chest press and 135 lb barbell for the sqauts for ten rounds then doing bodyweight for the other ten rounds, then Friday ill do a make shift Diane but instead of handstand presses i do overhead shoulder presses with 40-50 lb dumbbells but still using 225 lb deadlifts but i do 6 rounds of 21 15 9 9 15 21, my gains as a bodybuilder has far improved than when i was just doing hypertrophy but my endurance and stamina has vastly improved not just in the gym but in everyday life, im in no way a CrossFit athlete but as a bodybuilder i am proof that you can get not only jacked using CrossFit but can greatly improve everything about a person using CrossFit, i want to be the most fit bodybuilder and who knows maybe ill give a Murph a try one of these days

[@jonbryan2905]

Fuckin' right !!! When Dani Speegle runs her mouth about people thinking they can to things better than those running crossfit..... just point them to this. Hell yes Hiller and Sevan do this shit better than Crossfit. Keep it up Hiller ! Amazing work !!

[@omarlozano372]

@hillerFit - AWESOME video! I hope this provides CF HQ with an idea of what the community needs to see: inspiration, the real "why" of those we support in the sport. If you don't get inspired by how regular people found what we all love and their reasons, I'm not sure what else will.

[@diannahack5459]

Phenomenal, absolutely loved this! Thank you for reaching out to the athletes and to them for answering the 🦇 signal

[@patricedeboeck1564]

What an amazing video, this is pure magic and so much inspirational 👍 huge thanks to A. Hiller for this …. Genius move 🏋️‍♂️💪👍😎

[@leeanaification]

Hiller pulling through for the people. Thank you for getting athletes on board to show ALL sides of the real heart of the box ❤

[@DavidGutierrez-de5tm]

I must say you've sent the ball outta park... This is genius, Hiller.

[@clydesdalemedia]

This was Awesome! Thank you for putting this together Hiller!

[@clairesemple7997]

The advert for CrossFit CrossFit couldn't make. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

[@Sister4story]

Awesome idea Hiller, best video yet. Thanks to the athletes that contributed.

[@gemmadawson2230]

Great idea and also thank you for all the athletes for participating! ❤

[@S_N_11]

Fantastic idea! I think we need a Part 2, more athletes might be inspired now that they can see how great this video turned out.

[@randijackson1456]

Thank you taking the time to share these stories! Gold!! 🙏

[@laurenpfaff5146]

love this video, shoutout to all the athletes who took the time to make a video

[@Therealkevin87]

Good job Hiller you have out done crossfit yet again, and in the process you have out done yourself!

[@michelbarakat1026]

I started crossfit to gain strength because I was a rugby player and was getting injured very often. Ended up stopping rugby and fell i love with crossfit

[@kathiestan4379]

Brilliant!! Thanks to all the athletes that responded and gave us a little insight into their stories. There's something in there we can all relate to.

[@colleenfrizzell3608]

This is amazing...hats off to Hiller for the idea and to everyone who contributed 🦇🥰

[@pnkldy0205]

Sprager and Fee had me in tears ❤

[@schuchtim]

Dude this is epic! Some people like your style and some do not AT ALL. However, nobody can or should deny all the work you put in. All these video editing and footage collection take hoursssss in the making. You are definitely a real full-time KZbinr. And I hope all the naysayers will finally see that your only objective is to improve Crossfit Very VERY well done Mister Hiller!

[@meredithjones8593]

This is the best thing you have ever done. Excellent!

[@TheFittestLailani]

10 seconds in and I'm emotional. This is so special!

[@bethevans3913]

Can't even tell you how much I love what you've done here. Brilliant!

[@vittorio75]

Good stuff, Hiller! Affiliates could take a page out of your book and do something like this. Keep up the good work!

[@beachhousecrossfit]

BRO! You hit it out of the park on this one!! 🤙🏼👊🏼

[@michaeldohrmann3200]

Phenomenal...thanks for this and to everyone who participated.

[@jessicavalenzuela6958]

I haven’t even finished watching this and I already love it. Great content Hiller! This might be my favorite video you’ve done!

[@nashmoneyn565]

Crossfit what are you doing hire this guy !!! 🦇🦇🦇 he’s here to save CrossFit one rep or no rep at a time love it !!

[@melissaodier1953]

That is GENIUS Andrew, I hope CF hQ will have the intelligence to reach out and use it!

[@g1s8]

Hands down, one of the best idea and video you put together. Keep'em coming

[@ryanmetcalf8483]

Good on those that contributed! This is awesome!

[@rikupoutanen2612]

Love this video! This is what crossfit is about! ❤

[@coachianwhite]

This is the best thing you have ever done! Bravo

[@zucc9601]

Hillers editing is on point. probably because he has put out over 700 videos!

[@OscarCanasGymAr]

Wow!. Thanks Hiller!. It looks like we all have more in common than we think. Refreshing message for affiliate owners and for regular members to keep pushing. Also it seems that you have to be a nice and genuine person to be a CrossFit Games athlete, may be that's what the naty athletes or the cheaters needs to do to make it to the games 😅.

[@anthonyadams4081]

Dude. This is fn GOLD! Well done and thanks for sharing. Keep it up Hiller.

[@jacksonbentley1]

Bloody awesome video mate. Strong messages from the best in the world. Credit to you for organising it!

[@Coach_nicklowe]
