  I want a video where Keltie tries different recovery methods, massage, day of gentle stretching, etc. Can we all get behind giving our girl some TLC in the form of a video? <3

  OMG Harry is a favorite!! Love to see influencers helping each other and not getting pissy and dismissive. Humble pie is a hard bite to swallow but I am thankful for this real take on returning to a branch of exercise. We aren't pros at everything all the time. Love you girl!

  Ok that comment &nbsp;abt <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLantzSOXAI&amp;t=110">1:50</a> pissed me off. My crossfit gym did NOT make me do mandatory preliminary classes. (That other nake u pay EXTRAORDINARily EXTRA FOR) instead they gave me extra attention every class. I&apos;ve been going for over 2 weeks now and they STILl give me that extra attention from the owner, trainer AND members who all collaboratively help me with my technique and reaching my ful potential. If I had seen this video first I would&apos;ve struck them down and missed out on a legitimately life changing experience this gym has offered me

  I&apos;ve been a CrossFitter for 5 years. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see a positive CF YouTube review video. I&apos;m so exhausted by the fitness creators I follow trying CF for one day and giving their opinion. It&apos;s too complex to review in one day.<br><br>Our gym was of the many that unaffiliated after Greg Glassman&apos;s (CEO at the time) awful comments. The only thing that changed is the name of our gym. We no longer pay the annual fee to use the CrossFit name. Everything else has remained the same.<br><br>I&apos;m so thankful your video includes things like: the time it takes to learn new movements, introductory courses, proper nutrition and recovery. These are all so important for the average everyday fitness enthusiast. It&apos;s not just for the top 0.001% that makes it to the CrossFit Games.<br><br>We&apos;ve had a lot of promising people come through our doors but quit so soon because we don&apos;t throw them into group classes. Because they&apos;ve worked out before they are discouraged that they can&apos;t come in and smoke everyone in the workouts. The ego of it gets to most people. You have to be okay with being a beginner again.<br><br>We have members ranging from ages 14 - 60&apos;s. The workout is what you make it. We have people who are huge on CrossFit and work intensely so they can compete at local competition, people who come in to supplement their passion of running and those who come in just to get a good sweat in. The classes are as intense as YOU want to make them. I love it because I don&apos;t want to go to a 24 hour gym and come up with my own schedule. I want to show up and be told what to do and how to fix my form, intensity, etc. I&apos;ve always said &quot;Everyone can do CrossFit. But CrossFit isn&apos;t for everyone.&quot; (and that&apos;s totally okay).

  My husband was a competitive crossfitter. He was extremely strong and had amazing form. 300 lb Snatch and all! &nbsp;But now retiring, his body is now dealing with repercussions of having so many years of training and competing. What I have learned is that Crossfit cab be addictive (in a good way at times) but there is a fine line between that over doing it. My recommendation to anyone starting make it a 2x a week cadence for optimal recovery. Anywho, PROUD of you Keltie! (get it boo)

  Keltie... I love you so much but as a subscriber who cares about you, I feel that I need to hold you ACCOUNTABLE for the lesson we&apos;ve already watched you go through: BURNOUT!!! Think back to the time when you overloaded yourself with work doing multiple challenges with no end and where that lead you. Think about quarantine and the lessons you learned regarding keeping your mind happy and taking the time to breathe when you need it. I hate to break it to you but this isn&apos;t a &quot;fitness&quot; channel, it&apos;s a WELLNESS channel!!! People nowadays love watching others live their fullest, best lives, and watching a happy, bubbly, bouncing Keltie that is bursting at the seams with self-love and care is CERTAINLY not exempt from that. I loved this video but I needed to seize this opportunity to remind you of different goals you might have let slip by the wayside but you are still accountable to yourself for, I hope you see this. &lt;3

  I recently started CrossFit and love it! I think the moment I fell in love with my box was when I showed up to class and saw that not only was it 50% women, but most of those women were older. Several of them have grandchildren! They&apos;re such an inspiration to me to keep pushing myself and stay active. It&apos;s not a form of exercise for everyone, but if you like it, it&apos;s a great all around workout.

  I recently found Harry’s channel and I was ready to Keltie-stan in the comments of that video, but tbf he gave fair comments, very positive still, and he kind of picked up on your apt without knowing you well. Both you and Harry are all about the positive encouragements and mental health- you’d be a hell of a combo video, I’m a big fan of you both! Glad you’ve been looking after yourself after your busy period!

  hi Keltie! I&apos;m a crossfit athlete and a lot of times people don&apos;t understand what it actually takes to be able to perform your best in the sport. People would judge me for preferring sleep over nights out or bringing my own food instead of buying lunch somewhere, and often times people have this idea of crossfit being a cult of some sort that rules your whole life, so I wanted to thank you for trying and even though it didn&apos;t went how you thought it would, you didn&apos;t blame the sport, but rather the way you were living outside the workouts. That&apos;s one of the most important things people need to realise instead of blaming the sport right away. Thank you so much for this video and for showing that crossfit is not what people think it is ❣️

  One thing all games athletes keep telling us is that recovery is their whole life. They schedule their life <b>around</b> recovery. Many of them use the whoop straps to monitor their day strain+recovery quality, use special mattresses, blankets, ice tubs, saunas, etc. Your recovery is almost more important than your training because if you don&apos;t make it a priority you can&apos;t train effectively! People really always underestimate that.

  Ever since I saw that video I wondered if you&apos;d seen it, it&apos;s so amazing to see someone actually take criticism, reach out for help, and improve on themselves rather than raging or rebutting from a place of hurt and ego. I shouldn&apos;t have expected anything less from you Keltie! This is exactly what the fitness community, online and in real life should be, let&apos;s build each other up, let&apos;s learn and progress together 💪
