Most of us love a good sweaty workout - but how far would you push your body to get results or win an award?
Top athletes last year competed in the ultimate CrossFit challenge - and a new gruelling documentary shows just how far they went to be crowned the fittest man and woman in the world.
The 2020 CrossFit Games documentary called Resurgence, which will be available on iPlayer and Apple TV later this month, shows 10 top athletes being put through their paces with extreme workouts.
The CrossFit Games has gained a reputation for being one of the most punishing and endurance contests out there, since its inaugural event was held in 2007.
You may be into CrossFit and even have enlisted the help of the best cross training shoes to help you perform better, but by the looks of this trailer, you never would have encountered a workout this hard.
Top CrossFit athletes, including consecutive winner Mat Fraser, are shown being put under extreme pressure, with some even breaking down into tears.
The CrossFit Games is said to be the most exhaustive test of fitness in the world - and last year 10 athletes, 5 men and 5 women, took part in the competition, which was held on a reach in California.
Resurgence documents the dramatic shakeup of the annual fitness competition, which took place last summer, in the midst of the global pandemic.
Dedicated CrossFit athletes including Mat Fraser, Tia-Clair Toomey Katrin Davidsdottir and Brooke Wells took part in the challenge, which includes sprints, sled pushing, rowing and swimming.
While the new documentary, directed by Heber Cannon and Marston Sawyers - better known as The Buttery Bros, follows all the tension and excitement in the athlete’s pursuit to be crowned the official fittest man and woman on earth
If it sounds like your thing the documentary will be released globally on iTunes and Apple TV on Tuesday July 20th, and across all digital platforms and VOD on August 6th. Resurgence is also available to pre-order now globally on iTunes now.
