It goes without saying that CrossFit has come a long way since Greg Glassman first opened the doors of the flagship box in Santa Cruz, CA back in 1995. And since CrossFit.com launched in 2001, the number of Affiliates has grown to around 2000 boxes across the globe! With the CrossFit Games beginning to go more mainstream on websites like ESPN2, and picking up big name sponsors like Reebok, apparently we’re now getting exposure on daytime television…
Check this out: “The Biggest Loser” trainer Bob Harper (who appears to be representing CrossFit Brick) challenges his former cast-mate Jillian Michaels and “The Doctors” resident host Dr. Travis Stork to a workout on-air… CrossFit style!
Click here to watch the video.
While the form of the participants leaves something to be desired, they DID manage to pick up the basics of the technique rather quickly considering the time they had. The workout consisted of popular CrossFit exercises; Box Jumps (20″/24″), SDHP, Push Press, and D-Ball slams, performed for 30 seconds each.
What do you all think about this WOD spectacle on daytime TV? Comments?
