00:00:00.165 --> 00:00:00.839
- Get higher!

00:00:00.839 --> 00:00:02.162
- You can tell
he hasn't been going

00:00:02.162 --> 00:00:03.741
because this is just pathetic.

00:00:07.735 --> 00:00:09.215
- I don't know what to
expect from Crossfit at all.

00:00:09.215 --> 00:00:10.445
I don't know much about it.

00:00:10.445 --> 00:00:12.071
- I feel like everything
I know about Crossfit

00:00:12.071 --> 00:00:13.441
is just things that I've heard from

00:00:13.441 --> 00:00:15.043
other people or in the movies.

00:00:15.043 --> 00:00:16.947
- I've taken one Crossfit class before

00:00:16.947 --> 00:00:18.572
and it was a really hard work out.

00:00:18.572 --> 00:00:20.935
Hard enough that I thought
I would never return.

00:00:20.935 --> 00:00:22.891
- I imagine it's gonna be
someone towering over me,

00:00:22.891 --> 00:00:25.631
telling me very loudly that
I'm not trying hard enough,

00:00:25.631 --> 00:00:26.838
because I probably won't be.

00:00:26.838 --> 00:00:28.556
- The energy of everyone
working out together

00:00:28.556 --> 00:00:32.062
I'm sure helps but I'm not
a very competitive person

00:00:32.062 --> 00:00:33.734
when it comes to this sort of thing.

00:00:33.734 --> 00:00:36.799
- [Rocco] That kind of like
camaraderie really puts me off.

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.307
- At the end of the day,
my goal is to remain alive.

00:00:39.307 --> 00:00:41.234
This might not be my cup of tea,

00:00:41.234 --> 00:00:42.343
but we'll find out.

00:00:48.757 --> 00:00:52.054
The first day was brutal, it
looked like a gym for Robocops.

00:00:52.054 --> 00:00:53.609
- It's like really hot in there,

00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:55.885
I've never sweat so much,
like, I've done hot yoga

00:00:55.885 --> 00:00:58.811
and I feel like I've never
been that disgusting before.

00:00:58.811 --> 00:01:00.459
- One of the interesting
things about Crossfit

00:01:00.459 --> 00:01:02.317
is that everyday is a different work out,

00:01:02.317 --> 00:01:04.104
which is why it's called
the work out of the day.

00:01:04.104 --> 00:01:06.287
You know that it's gonna
be Olympic weightlifting

00:01:06.287 --> 00:01:08.888
combined with high-intensity
interval training

00:01:08.888 --> 00:01:10.768
and that you're gonna be dead.

00:01:10.768 --> 00:01:13.392
- So, at minute one we're
gonna start with 15 Wall Balls.

00:01:13.392 --> 00:01:14.739
If you finish your Wall Balls,

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:16.387
you have the rest of the minute to rest.

00:01:16.387 --> 00:01:18.570
When the second minute turns,
you start your pull-ups.

00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:20.869
You finish those up, have the
rest of the minute to rest.

00:01:20.869 --> 00:01:23.539
We'll basically follow that
pattern for 20 minutes.

00:01:24.929 --> 00:01:26.186
- We did a bunch of Wall Balls,

00:01:26.186 --> 00:01:27.834
it was like cruel and unusual punishment.

00:01:27.834 --> 00:01:30.226
- So a Wall Ball's this
thing where you just pick up

00:01:30.226 --> 00:01:33.755
a big, heavy-ass ball, and
you throw it at a wall,

00:01:33.755 --> 00:01:35.613
over and over, like Sisyphus.

00:01:35.613 --> 00:01:37.540
If anyone ever says, "Hey,
you wanna do some Wall Balls?"

00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.119
Just be like, "Nah, (beep) off."

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:40.535
- The delirium's setting in.

00:01:40.535 --> 00:01:41.951
There you go, you got it.

00:01:41.951 --> 00:01:43.461
(shouts of encouragement)

00:01:49.813 --> 00:01:51.624
Drink lots of water, if
you get coconut water,

00:01:51.624 --> 00:01:53.133
get some electrolytes in you.

00:01:53.133 --> 00:01:54.643
- [Shane] You're my hero, Rocco.

00:01:54.643 --> 00:01:56.193
You're my inspiration.

00:01:56.193 --> 00:01:59.002
- I feel like I only sweat
like that in a sauna.

00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:00.279
- It was about what I expected,

00:02:00.279 --> 00:02:02.624
which is pretty rough.

00:02:02.624 --> 00:02:04.528
- I just left, like,
"I don't know if I can

00:02:04.528 --> 00:02:06.711
ever go back and do this again."

00:02:06.711 --> 00:02:08.545
I wanna die.

00:02:08.545 --> 00:02:10.333
And I had two more months of it.

00:02:10.333 --> 00:02:10.926
So.

00:02:14.228 --> 00:02:15.830
- I mean, I don't smell like myself,

00:02:15.830 --> 00:02:19.383
I smell like many people's sweat combined.

00:02:19.383 --> 00:02:21.449
- Waking up for class was probably

00:02:21.449 --> 00:02:23.051
the hardest part about it.

00:02:23.051 --> 00:02:25.745
In about 20 to 30 minutes, I'm gonna be

00:02:25.745 --> 00:02:28.920
in a very hot room, yelling and sweating.

00:02:31.323 --> 00:02:33.036
You know, you get real
tired of waking up early,

00:02:33.036 --> 00:02:36.193
but afterward, look, I'm ready to work!

00:02:36.193 --> 00:02:38.724
I could swallow the world whole right now!

00:02:38.724 --> 00:02:40.675
- So, I'd go to Crossfit from 7 to 8,

00:02:40.675 --> 00:02:42.300
and then I'd have from 8 to 9 to like

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:45.249
rush home, get ready, and come in to work.

00:02:45.249 --> 00:02:48.011
And so, I always looked like

00:02:48.011 --> 00:02:50.218
a bag of ass, coming in to work.

00:02:50.218 --> 00:02:51.843
I hurt so bad.

00:02:53.213 --> 00:02:54.513
- All right, well this
is our mid-way point.

00:02:54.513 --> 00:02:55.436
- I don't feel that different,

00:02:55.436 --> 00:02:57.753
I feel like the work
outs have gotten easier

00:02:57.753 --> 00:03:00.103
and then more difficult
and then easier again.

00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:01.891
It's just so varied that
it doesn't feel like

00:03:01.891 --> 00:03:04.283
something you can ever prepare for.

00:03:04.283 --> 00:03:05.931
- It's been a good
jumpstart to working out

00:03:05.931 --> 00:03:07.441
and after this, I can't complain

00:03:07.441 --> 00:03:09.136
about any workouts that I ever do.

00:03:09.136 --> 00:03:10.575
- All right, well,
here's to another month.

00:03:10.575 --> 00:03:11.701
Cheers.

00:03:16.368 --> 00:03:18.620
- I don't know, like a month in,

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:23.620
I couldn't go on a Monday, and
so I made it up on Tuesday.

00:03:23.914 --> 00:03:26.666
And Shane wasn't there.

00:03:26.666 --> 00:03:29.685
- I saw Maycie's name
and time on the board,

00:03:29.685 --> 00:03:31.612
because she was going to
class right before me,

00:03:31.612 --> 00:03:33.260
but I never saw Shane's name.

00:03:33.260 --> 00:03:35.977
I suspected that maybe he
was going on a different day.

00:03:35.977 --> 00:03:37.997
- Sometimes, your
schedule's a little crazy.

00:03:37.997 --> 00:03:40.388
- [Maycie] And then I went
Wednesday, Shane wasn't there.

00:03:40.388 --> 00:03:43.732
- [Shane] Yeah, I started
really, really slipping.

00:03:44.852 --> 00:03:46.373
- [Maycie] And I was
like, "When is he going?"

00:03:46.373 --> 00:03:48.579
- I just straight-up
lied to Maycie's face.

00:03:48.579 --> 00:03:50.576
- But she got more sleuthy than I did.

00:03:50.576 --> 00:03:52.596
- Today I'm going to the Tuesday class.

00:03:52.596 --> 00:03:55.591
I'm gonna ask the trainer,
Ethan, if he's been coming.

00:03:55.591 --> 00:03:57.658
- For a while, I got away with it.

00:03:59.298 --> 00:04:02.580
- Last time he's been in is
8/21 on Friday at seven a.m.

00:04:03.730 --> 00:04:04.647
- What?

00:04:04.647 --> 00:04:07.479
Oh my god, he's in so much trouble!

00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.685
So we decided we needed to punish him.

00:04:11.755 --> 00:04:13.632
- We're here to shame Shane.

00:04:13.632 --> 00:04:15.188
That's the name of the work out today.

00:04:15.188 --> 00:04:18.555
- So we had the two trainers
surprise him at his desk.

00:04:19.885 --> 00:04:22.432
Hey Shane, we have some visitors for you.

00:04:22.432 --> 00:04:24.777
- I saw the two Crossfit
instructors walk in,

00:04:24.777 --> 00:04:26.287
that's not a thing you wanna see.

00:04:26.287 --> 00:04:28.859
It was like waking up and
seeing a vampire in your room.

00:04:30.396 --> 00:04:30.971
Yeah.

00:04:30.971 --> 00:04:32.364
- We figured that it'd be fair

00:04:32.364 --> 00:04:33.850
to kinda bring the work out to you.

00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.523
- [Shane] Sure.

00:04:34.523 --> 00:04:35.870
- So we're gonna do a
set amount of Burpees

00:04:35.870 --> 00:04:38.215
and Wall Balls per day that we've missed.

00:04:38.215 --> 00:04:39.307
- OK, all right.

00:04:39.307 --> 00:04:42.302
I just gleefully accepted,
because here's the thing,

00:04:42.302 --> 00:04:44.183
they thought it was a
punishment, but to me,

00:04:44.183 --> 00:04:47.735
I was like, "Great, I've
skipped numerous classes."

00:04:47.735 --> 00:04:50.661
I don't know if the little
cheerleader outfit was necessary.

00:04:52.461 --> 00:04:54.747
- He's going to be doing eleven rounds

00:04:54.747 --> 00:04:57.742
of ten Wall Balls and then ten Burpees.

00:05:03.396 --> 00:05:05.021
- Shane, make your way to the wall.

00:05:05.021 --> 00:05:06.896
I didn't mean lean against it!

00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.451
- [Rocco] You know,
watching that punishment

00:05:08.451 --> 00:05:10.007
was somewhat satisfying,

00:05:10.007 --> 00:05:11.725
because it was in the
middle of the work day.

00:05:11.725 --> 00:05:13.026
(laughing)

00:05:13.026 --> 00:05:15.069
- Yeah, it was funny.

00:05:15.069 --> 00:05:16.416
- It was one of the low points of my life,

00:05:16.416 --> 00:05:18.761
but once again, entirely worth it.

00:05:18.761 --> 00:05:20.177
That was a lot of fun.

00:05:20.177 --> 00:05:21.477
I wish I did this every afternoon.

00:05:21.477 --> 00:05:22.987
- You met the challenge head on,

00:05:22.987 --> 00:05:24.615
however long it took
him, with good spirits,

00:05:24.615 --> 00:05:25.782
and that's really what it's all about.

00:05:27.384 --> 00:05:30.060
- For our last class, we
invited some of our coworkers,

00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:32.172
two of whom are like
really big Crossfitters.

00:05:32.172 --> 00:05:35.719
And then Ryan, just because,
you know, look at him.

00:05:35.719 --> 00:05:37.245
- Let's go, let's do it.

00:05:37.245 --> 00:05:38.639
- [Rocco] That was the
most brutal work out

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.078
that we had to do,

00:05:40.078 --> 00:05:41.518
and I think that that
was a great end note,

00:05:41.518 --> 00:05:43.724
because the three of us felt totally sick.

00:05:43.724 --> 00:05:44.606
- [Maycie] It was mostly cool

00:05:44.606 --> 00:05:46.254
to see Ryan struggle through it.

00:05:46.254 --> 00:05:48.298
- He looked like he was gonna
throw up a couple times.

00:05:48.298 --> 00:05:49.459
- I'm sweating vodka.

00:05:49.459 --> 00:05:51.432
- To be fair, I also almost threw up.

00:05:51.432 --> 00:05:53.104
- And then obviously Kate and Jordan

00:05:53.104 --> 00:05:55.658
kicked all of our asses, because somehow,

00:05:55.658 --> 00:05:56.889
they actually love Crossfit.

00:05:56.889 --> 00:05:58.282
- I'm not cut out for Crossfit.

00:05:58.282 --> 00:05:59.396
- [Shane] Yeah, you are.

00:05:59.396 --> 00:06:01.625
- I think Crossfit is good for anyone

00:06:01.625 --> 00:06:05.480
at any skill level, to
push themselves past

00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.314
what they think their capabilities are.

00:06:07.314 --> 00:06:08.916
- [Maycie] It was cool
to like challenge myself

00:06:08.916 --> 00:06:11.377
and see that I was stronger
than I thought I was.

00:06:11.377 --> 00:06:13.885
- I could see how it
appeals to a lot of people.

00:06:13.885 --> 00:06:16.091
There's like a great group mentality.

00:06:16.091 --> 00:06:18.181
- [Maycie] The instructors,
like Ethan and Mike,

00:06:18.181 --> 00:06:20.270
were awesome and super supportive.

00:06:20.270 --> 00:06:22.708
So I can definitely see how people form

00:06:22.708 --> 00:06:25.007
their Crossfit gym into this community.

00:06:25.007 --> 00:06:27.004
- Crossfit is fun too,
like I'm not a person

00:06:27.004 --> 00:06:28.420
who's into team sports at all,

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:31.299
I don't really like high
fives or round of applause,

00:06:31.299 --> 00:06:33.505
but there was something nice about

00:06:33.505 --> 00:06:36.681
feeling accomplished and
having someone near you

00:06:36.681 --> 00:06:39.397
confirm that you, that you
lived through that work out.

00:06:39.397 --> 00:06:40.814
- [Mike] Yeah, Rocco!

00:06:40.814 --> 00:06:42.044
- [Shane] You know, it
was nice dipping my toe

00:06:42.044 --> 00:06:43.344
in the water for a little while.

00:06:43.344 --> 00:06:44.412
It was a good dip.

00:06:44.412 --> 00:06:45.916
- Never gonna do it again.
