While most CrossFit establishments across the planet are closed and the 2020 Games remain a question mark, many lovers of the sport have turned to YouTube to get their fix.
The sport is known for embracing non-traditional media avenues when it comes to coverage – ones now fast becoming mainstream – such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The latter has become a never-ending cache of videos as the online video platform is filled with CrossFit clips, documentaries and video blogs from top athletes.
We asked some of the sport’s top pundits, journalists and analysts to sift through the pile for some golden moments fans can turn to as the world waits to reopen during the unprecedented global pandemic.

Mat Fraser’s “Pursuit for Better” really fires me up. It offers the raw, gritty, classic hard-work-pays-off Fraser mentality that’s made him the best CrossFit athlete on the planet. Head down, in the basement, suffering through with a pool of sweat, is how championships are won. I fell in love with that kind of mentality watching NBA greats as a kid. “Pursuit for Better” makes me want to lace up and head out to the garage and go to work. For any student or fan of the sport, this is 15 minutes well spent.
