Froning: The Fittest Man In History (2015)
Rich Froning Jr entered the 2014 CrossFit Games competition with three consecutive victories, a feat that no other athlete had accomplished. After finding CrossFit in 2009, Froning began a history-making career, finishing second at the CrossFit Games in 2010 and dominating the competition for the next four years. His four titles, five trips to the podium, 16 event wins, 35 top-five event finishes and 45 top-10 event finishes are all records, and he's revered in the community. Froning's athletic prowess has been under the microscope for five years, but there's much more to the man from Tennessee than snatches and pull-ups. In this in-depth documentary by Heber Cannon, take a look into the life and childhood of the fittest man in history, follow his quest to a fourth straight CrossFit Games championship, and see him as a son, a husband, and a new father.

Thanks for the memories!
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This film is an impressive showcase of this mans fitness level. Having comprehension of what this really takes, and then seeing him do it is incredible to see- this man is a workout boss, an Olympian God. I have heard his name and seen him compete on television but when I saw the title for the movie I didn't know it had anything to do with CrossFit, let alone it be the focal competition. Seeing him through the lens of a CrossFit athlete, a person, and a husband/father is interesting. He wants to know what's next, I'd like to see him on a bicycle- the DKXL gravel race in KS would be a nice test. Watch this if you enjoy fitness- this is fitness defined and the character is a likeable guy.
It was ok not great. I've never heard of him before watching this. And the part with his daughter almost made me cry
