“Anyone I’ve met that started CrossFit when they were a young adult to adult, they say the same thing: ‘I wish I started when I was a kid,’” says CrossFit Seminar Staff member Austin Malleolo.
Shiloh Ellis embodies that dream: At 12, Ellis has been doing CrossFit for five years, and he's grown up practicing CrossFit’s fundamental movements, which he calls “majestic.”
At Ellis’ school, St. John’s Preparatory in Danvers, Massachusetts, CrossFit is part of after-school programming and an option for fulfilling physical-education requirements.
“He’s just an awesome athlete,” says Jason Larocque, the school’s assistant principal.
“He’s a student of the sport, and when he comes down here with his busy schedule, he kind of picks up the game of everyone else ... because of the standards of his movement,” Larocque explains.
People often assume Ellis is working so hard so he can one day make it to the CrossFit Games.
“If I can compete in the Games, get first, that would be awesome, but it’s not doing anything for anyone else,” Ellis says.
He has his sights set on teaching CrossFit to others.
“Being a coach is kind of spreading the awareness of CrossFit and spreading it to other people so they can share it,” he says.

He calls the workouts majestic. I call them sadistic. This kid is legit
Lol role mode? Hes doing crossfit
Yeah, he'll be the youngest one to fuck up his body so far. That's the goal in crossfit anyway xD
He's a fucking twig lmao
😅😅
Crossfitter lol hit the gym
Vitaly P I’m saying 😂
Shiloh is an incredible young man; it's been amazing to watch him at CF Full Potential and see the support of his family. As a HS educator and a relatively newer CrossFitter, this "old lady" is finding this 12 year old boy very inspiring. It would be pretty darn cool to have more like him in this world...
RIP his joints
Arrathay it’s fine, it’s healthy
He fine bro. Its good for him and I do it aswell. As long as you take like a day rest your good.
American Patriot Your pullups are ridiculous. Are your joints screwed up by now?
i’ve been doing crossfit for 6 years and weightlifting for 3 where’s my video😭😂😂
I also do Crossfit and I’m 12 I started about a year ago, I love it!!!!
Kaiden Myers But why so CrossFit when you could just work out at home... CrossFit pull-ups make me want to cringe extremely hard
EdwardTheEel because first of all I wouldn’t have known how to do all of the stuff unless I went to Crossfit, and because of the community. The people there are just amazing!
@@kaidenmyers4805 but you would've known how to do them right if you'd just chose the right gym and or mentor. Instead of the farce of crossfit
Holy shit dude, is that school Charles Xavier's one? I didn't go to something like THAT. damn.
Welp I feel crappy now I’m 12 and been doing Crossfit since I was 9-10 and I can’t do a pull up and my coaches don’t let me do weights
Hey It’s Alexa don’t get yourself down, CrossFit pull-ups are the most retarted thing in the world
So when's the spine surgery?
Marine corps, but has Air Force bag
I didn't find fitness until much later in life, and I regret that i didn't make an effort earlier, as it's been truly transformative for my health and my confidence.
Did you see those kipping pull ups?
Fucking majestic😂
Great parents. Great guy.
God Bless this kid. I can’t wait to see where he is in five more years- you keep going Shiloh
That school requires that😂
I started at crossfit for a week ago
greatness , truly inspirational ! thank you ...
Awesome, kid! Keep the Faith - Ave Maria!
WTF crossfit course at school. They should introduce this to all school.
no the fuck they shouldn't
Chair middle schools and high school's yea
+eagle feather Yeah let's have all middle schoolers and high schoolers get scoliosis because we want to implement crossfit which is completely useless for anything other than ruining joints and the spine
wait your allowed to do a level 1 course under 17 years old?!?
Dunphinator 2.0 yes but only get a certificate of completion, you don’t get your level 1 until your 18 and you take the test(if I remember right)
What a beautiful soul 💕
Incredible! What a great kid
0:51 the man himself in the background :D
They didn't even mention him
I remember Shiloh! He’s a cool kid, he was on the podcast not to long ago.
This actually motivated me. I am thinking of doing level 1 for a while. I am actually gonna do it now. :)
Prophecy.. when this kid grow up and the crossfit games still exist he will chase the games
I’m really not trying to show up to school late ahhh
4:39 No shit it’s not your strength. And it ain’t god either. It’s your fucking momentum
This kid is my idol of what not to do
That form though
ikr
thats matt frazer in the backround
Good for him, but there are serious concerns about how weight training too early can be really bad physical development of young bodies. Especially since he's not even using the correct form or movements in most of the clips.
Bro Those concerns have been proven over and over again to be bullshit and false.
5 years n he looks like that haha
Ark Fetish it’s CrossFit that why lmaooo
CrossFit=no gainz
Gunnar Phillips hes 12 a 12 year old isent going to build muscle really
fr though
Stfu where’s ur “gains” you don’t just get jacked as a 12 year old
how come he gets to go to ur semanairs. i got told u have to be 18!!!
Nice, eat the right amount of protein, go to real gym sometimes and you’ll get big
Calisthenics should be the role model
Great video 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
"It’s hard for a kid his age to give up there weekend to sit in a seminar, while all his friends are playing video games" He is in a air conditioned room, not even breaking a sweat wish I could have done that when I was 12. But I was on the football field working my butt off. And she says that’s hard for a kid his age to do? Smh today’s generation.
bruh those fuckin pullups
Amazing
I was there. :) derpy derp
well done kiddo!
Thank god I never had CrossFit in my high school years.
I have no Words 👏👏
fucking crossfit.
I live in Bangor maine
So close to meee
is that fucking matt fraser in the background at the beginning
"Majestic"
Cool kid, can’t wait to follow his CF career.
Awesome awesome awesome !!
I dont get it. This kid is just passionate. There are a lot of kids out there just like this kid. Good for spreading the news of workouts I guess.
Let’s have a moment of silence for another lost to CrossFit 😔😔😔
Kid should drop it and get into bodybuilding/powerlifting instead. Would be the best decision of his life.
Joel Oilar lol nah he has so bad genetics if he has been doing this for 5 years. For 5 years he should be a lot stronger than that. He looks like a skinny kid
You mean nerd?
cross fit sucks
Johnny Stapleton agree
If only they had good form (especially for the pull ups) I would have respected and liked CrossFit.
Ahh the next generation of knee replacements and fractured spines
Focus on education don’t get in this trap of thinking you will make it far with crossfit. Trust me retiring at 60 vs stressing till 70 owning a gym
Nigga not a role model. He doin CrossFit. I started working when I was 12 but didn’t get gainz until I was 13
I’m sorry but CrossFit??????
Lucky him
Why so much kipping in pull ups😂like seriously and the fucking push ups he was doing. Wtf😂 theta curve in his back
So he doesn’t live like a kid but still looks like a stick after all that training 😂💀
Wtf are those pullups
but it’s CrossFit tho,, cmon now son, cmon
CrossFit...
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
CrossFit😂😂 same age but doing calisthenics, all bout that strict form and he’s a stick bro
Did he say majestic? Crossfit is the least majestic way to exercise EVER, it’s great for you in certain ways, but REALLY, the form is dreadful and getting hurt is a massive extremely easy. Plus he’s tiny so is it really working for him?!?
Shiiiit pull ups 😂😂
Ahah what a joke
He looks well skinny. Where are his muscles? I wouldn’t really consider him a role model and I call BS on the religious stuff.
CrossFit is for girls and weaker people who can’t do heavy weights, that isn’t any role model to me
Hahah CrossFit aka joke of the fitness community
O!
Dafuq dis
I wouldn’t even count CrossFit as a damn sport😭
Cross fit gay af
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
