Hi there đ if you're new to the channel my name is Wykie (Vay-Key). I'm a CrossFit fanatic, dad, entrepreneur and filmmaker. I document my training, talk about CrossFit news and try to inspire and encourage others to live healthier and more full-filling lives. If you love fitness and self development you can subscribe for weekly videos
Thanks for the video Wyks! I had a similar journey. I became a certified personal trainer in 2006. I was mostly focused on bodybuilding and fat loss as goals. I competed in bodybuilding a few times, but felt I was missing something. One of my fellow personal trainers at 24 Hour Fitness in Portland, Oregon brought his own bumper plates and was doing CrossFit workouts in our commercial gym. This peaked my interest. I signed up at a local CrossFit gym and my first workout ever was "Angie." I couldn't say I was hooked quite yet, but I did keep going. I took my Level 1 in September 2011 and haven't looked back since. I even got the chance to take my Level 2 Cert on the Ranch in Aromas in 2016 and have Pat Barber be one of my instructors. CrossFit is always my main interest, but I have since competed in Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting, Obstacle Course Races, and now I am 4 weeks out from another Men's Physique Competition. After this, my plan is 100% back to CrossFit as this allows me to be the most well rounded athlete I can be.
âFitness became about what I could do and NOT about how I lookedâ â€â€â€
You nailed it brother with that one statement.
I started with bodybuilding and became uninspired and almost depressed when walking into a gym. Our daughter Arielle (11th in Games this year) had been doing CrossFit but the bug had not bit me yet. Then in 2018 February I tried CrossFit and have never looked back đââïžđŽ đșđïžââïžđ€œđ»ââïžđ

So well said. I often reflect back to my first intro workout that kicked my ass, and had me wanting more. And 10 years later Iâm still going back and often getting my ass kicked.
Great post - love the content - from đšđŠ
I started at my Crossfit box at age 58...just last summer of 2021. I was already in decent shape (played the Irish Gaelic game hurling...look it up on youtube) and I continue to coach lacrosse. What got me hooked is the coaches at my gym are excellent at scaling workouts to individual needs. No one pushed me to do anything I thought might cause me injury. BUT, I came to it with knowledge and experience to keep me from getting injured. I still worry a bit about people who come to CF who are greatly over weight and out of shape. Some of the movements....even at light weight...can be injury prone. All that said, I am in the best shape since high school and able to continue to play sports that many my age gave up years ago.
I am grossly overweight and out of shape at 50, I started CF a month ago. My trainer watches me and makes adjustments on the fly to get me to complete the WOD. I am sore everyday but never injured.
That was raw and honest. CrossFit is like an addiction, if you get hooked no one will understand what you get out of it. It's a buzz like no other. I'm the same as you.
100%, hooked for life đȘ
@@wykieetsebeth 100%
Nah itâs stupid . It makes ppl think theyâre special
@@deleon3747 Once you let WOD into your heart, your life will have meaning.
I came back from Crossfit to Bodybuilding. Crossfit really burned me out and stressed me, so be careful and Listen to your body
Great video man, I remember first time going to a CrossFit box, thinking I was pretty fit and then having to perform overhead squats with a broomstick and struggling, the skills and movement your learn from CrossFit really transition into everyday life and even other disciplines of fitness! đȘ
Oh yes, the old broomstick overhead squat.. will help any âfitâ person check their ego haha, I still struggle with it
Loved this video! I went to a functional fitness gym (previoisly affiliated with crossfit) and it wasn't the same crossfit experience i was hoping for because they didnt do the actual learning class part. I emded up not sticking with it but I still love crossfit so much! Now living in a different town far from any crossfit boxes, I have a big dream of starting a gym that does the training right and the community you describe in this video! Id love to hear others stories and/or advice for bringing this sport to a town that could fill in love with it like I have đȘđđ
This is so good, I wish everyone could see this. You put into words exactly how it feels to fall in love with CrossFit. Incredible video!!! Loved every second of it!
He is typical why modern day bodybuilding sucks,
Oh I'm a posh boy everything has to be so nice and clean it dungeon oh hell
He will never survived in 80's
He wouldn't be able to do traditional bodybuilding from the 18th to 70's
CrossFit is for people who don't know how to exercise
Thanks for this video Wyks, I am thinking about starting my own CF coaching journey now and this is really inspiring.
Crossfit is a perfect example on how not to train,
What color is your bugatti?
Wow, what a story! Crossfit should use your video for the new comers to adopt crossfit as a new way of life!
20+ years of old school bodybuilding here. I can benchpress 315lbs for reps, but putting my 2 year old in her car seat was strenuous. I decided I want my muscles to be more functional. Strongman or CrossFitâŠI chose CrossFit. Iâm excited every day for my 6am workouts now.
Life is one big story and that was a nice one sir. Hello from Dallas, we spoke for a bit at the games and in the airport on the way home. Cheers
Hope youâre well brother! Fingers crossed we get to hang again soon
Started in August of 2021, I'm 28 and played sports my whole life, took some time off in college and just did some traditional gym workouts and running and man have CrossFit revitalized my passion for sports and athleticism in general. I'm training to do my first IronMan this coming May and I can tell you whole heartedly I would have never even thought about attempting something like that without the motivation and confidence CrossFit has given me.
Ironman is different beast from crossfit. You are out on the field from 10 hours onwards. Its something crossfit never has. Its all marketing bs when they say fittest on the planet. Fittest word is very subjective. If they say they are the fittest, then how come they cant finish half ironman like pro does in 3 hour or so of 1.9 km swim, 90km bike and half marathon. Its called circuit workout before it was crossfit.
@@PhiyackYuh Most people who compete in distance events like an Ironman can't snatch 300lbs though either so the "fittest" title is super subjective I agree. It's only been a beneficial motivator for me though. And it's not just circuit work though so that comment doesn't really apply in my opinion. It does include circuit work, but it also included pure strength exercises by themselves, endurance training, swimming if you're a competitive athlete, and a whole lot more. I think it creates a well rounded individual if you do it correctly but to say it creates the fittest alive is a stretch because that really is so subjective. Like how can we say the fittest crossfit athlete is more fit than Eliud Kipchoge who runs a marathon in 2 hours ya know?
@@PhiyackYuh I did see there was a CrossFit games athlete, Kristi Eramo, who ran a marathon a month after the games though with minimal training and did really well, like 16th out of 1000 women or something and ran a 3 hour marathon which is like a 7 minute pace which is impressive
Preach my dude
Really epic video! So authentic and the story resonates with many of us.
Keep up the great content!
Your backyard setup is sick dude, love it!!
Thanks man, yeh Iâm lucky to have that set up. Hope youâre doing good đđȘ
Off topic real quick. How are the puppies getting along? Now to the topic, I was ruined by CrossFit too. I only wished I found it earlier in life. I found it 2 years ago and never looked back. Always a challenge. I was getting so many gains until I practiced trying to get handstand push-ups that I hurt my shoulder and neck. I really wouldnât be mad if they got rid of those đ. But now trying to get back to where I was before I got hurt is a challenge in itself. Keep up the content đ„°
Such a good video, man. Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary of starting CF!
I hated sports my whole life and thought I only needed to run to stay thin. Then I found CrossFit and it became the sport I absolutely love and is the only thing that got me out of a nasty depression. It really is simply amazing.
I think crossfit athletes are indeed the most completes athletes, but not necesary the most functional persons, I mean the strenght features in strongman competitions are more realistic, and the races of military pentatlon are more realistic races, the body weight excercises from rock climbing are more aplicable to a real life situation, I would love to see the crossfit competittions switch to more realistic features of athletism for "real life working tasks" they already do a little bit of strongman like features but not enough, any way just my toughts as a viewer and recreational practitioner, good vibes to everyone.
Love this!!! CrossFit ruined this bodybuilder too. I see Georgie in the background outside.
Without a doubt the BEST video you have EVER made! I hear you, I fell you, I understand you and I 200% agree with you! LetÂŽs keep growing the Crossfit community and make more people see what we see đ€©
One of my favourite videos of yours Wyks! Really enjoyable watch.
This is super informative! Question for you... have you ever tried a meal plan from Next Level Diet? I got one and I love it!
As I approach 60 I feel as though I'm a little too old to start crossfit. One injury could wipe out all my gains through weight lifting and bodybuilding over the last 15 years. I enjoy watching the sports, camaraderie, and competition but know my limits. I fear that I may try to compete with the younger ones by my own benchmarks.
I will be 59 this December and have only done CrossFit for about 1.5 years. If you can keep in mind that the only person you have to beat is the you from yesterday, I think your experience will help you avoid injury. But, you have to let the young studs (including the women! Some of the best athletes out there!) do their thing.
The purpose of CrossFit seems to be nothing more than fatigue for the sake of fatigue via junk volume.
It has nothing to do with health, fitness, strength or longevity.
Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment đ. Been doing CrossFit for 14 years and I can confidently say that my health, fitness, strength and longevity has continued to improve year on year and I donât see myself stopping anytime soon. Itâs the best, you should give it a go sometime
Great video mate pleasure to meet you at down under champs on the weekend also
Great story Wyks.
Be great to have you drop in for a WOD when youâre down in Wollongong for DUC.
Sam đ€
Crossfit yet to catch up in India, Maharashtra,Pune.
I have also read many accounts, people suffering from enjuries.
Does any one has that experience?
đâ€đamazing! But I thought the wall walks were created only recent years , interesting
100% Agree.
In my opinion, you're best video yet! Inspirational
Great inspirational story!
Great video. CrossFit ruined my life too!!! đ€đ€
Andfit was theee best. And now I want to do CrossFit again! Thanks for the reminder coach, itâs all that and more!
Great message bro!
Love this and well said, as always!
Great crossfit ad
Great chat
Love this!
To be honest I expected something different from the title! But I motivates me to try out CrossFit!
Glad to hear that! đ
@@wykieetsebeth đ
Love it.good vid
For once I'm glad I clicked on that click-bait title :)
Haha appreciate you watching đ
How did you decide which boxes to visit on your world tour in 2011? For instance, why New York as opposed to Cookville? Or why Milan vs. Paris?
We didnât plan our trip based on CrossFit gyms, we went to places we really wanted to see and just found the nearest boxes while travelling âșïžđ
@@wykieetsebeth Cool. I think it's cool to operate a gym where everyone is motivated. I love fitness and helping others but I don't know if I'd leave my job to do it. Congrats on your journey!
Lost me a 5:16 when the sell started cool vid though.
What a great video.
Great video - so inspirational!
Just did my first class and i love it â€
misleading information from the title , false advertising , reported for misleading
Hope youâre doing ok buddy
Calm down James, put Karen back in the box đ
I agree it was complete click bait
yup
Ckickbait title.
Hell yeah man! Thanks for sharing that story! Stay sexy!
Define "train" then we can start from there.
Cross fit too risky, not worth the benefits to risk ratio. It's like Marines training we did back in the 70's, get away with alot of abuse, pay later as we all age đââïž
That can be true in some circumstances. Like everything, there is good and bad. Having trained in multiple sporting and gym facilities I have seen the good and bad in all. I've been to some boxes that as an example train kipping pullups/muscle ups before a beginner has even learnt how to do a strict pull up. Having gained a degree and masters in bio-mechanics and physiology I know unless the shoulder girdle is strengthened kipping pullups can lead to long-term detriment.
However don't class all of crossfit in the same 'box' excuse the pun.
On average that statement is not correct. The injury rate for CrossFit per 1000 hours exercised is pretty average and even lower than long distance running.
I would say that there is a problem with people that do not scale appropriately and then hurt themselves, especially when they train on their own / without the supervision of a certified CrossFit coach.
Like evangelists or vegans
Cross training is awesome. Crossfit is expensive.
Crossfit is a religion. You either hate it or you are addicted to it. Me? I'm a crossfit disciple since may. Can't think i'll ever stop doing it.
Wait until it ruins you with a herniated disc đ
12 years of CrossFitting everyday and no injuries, I think Iâll be ok đđ
@@wykieetsebeth wait until you get older and wiserâŠ.
@@danielk.5890 Having trained in crossfit for 18 years and now 52, having been in the military, played rugby (had lots of injuries) regularly climb and white water kayak , how much older and wiser do we need to get. No injuries, or cases of overtraining. Like Wyjs Etsebeth says I'll think I'll be OK
CrossFit is such a damaged brand that the shills are reduced to posting click-bait titles. I wanted to hear some more roasting of this awful training "system."
đŠ
Itâs still about the gun show đ
Shhhh đ€«đ€Ł
Was a member at two CrossFit boxes over the span of 4 months and I've never spent so much time/money on physiotherapy.
Hard pass.
Hate modern day bodybuilding is not the ture sport it was
Traditional bodybuilding is superior to CrossFit
cult
đ
Very misleading
And also itâs the only way you would make someone watch your video
But it doesnât make it right.
CrossFit itâs for lazy people and desperate soulsâŠ
Love this and well said, as always!
