felt i had to add a review to balance out the 'cynical' one already posted
I really enjoyed this documentary & I certainly didn't feel it was just a 'self glorified ad' - nor do I agree with the other criticisms in that review
Frankly I believe what you take from this documentary depends on your mindset
Persoanally I found it mildly inspirational & motivating & also enjoyed watching how the competition panned out & the discussions with the main competitors as it progressed
The other reviewer is just a glass half empty type & overly cynical & I suspect has no real interest in fitness

Plot summary
The 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games were a grueling five-day, 15-event test to find the fittest man and woman on Earth. "Fittest on Earth: A Decade of Fitness" follows the dramatic story of the top athletes who qualified and competed and offers an inside look at what it takes to be among the world's elite athletes, both in training and on the competition floor. The CrossFit Games challenge competitors to perform intense physical tasks, but the hardest part is sometimes mental. Athletes often learn the details of the events only minutes before they begin, and everyone handles the pressure differently. Which of these fierce competitors will rise to the top and earn the title of Fittest on Earth?

great if you need a bit of motivation
It's basically a self-glorified AD
Nothing much to it, you learn what Crossfit is, what it "allegedly" stands for and how it is growing as into its own culture.
Most of this documentary is about how much better these individuals are, now that they have embraced the cross-fit "lifestyle".
There is as much depth to it as a BLT sandwich.
But it's well made and not a pain to watch. If you wish to embrace this lifestyle, this will be a great introduction step. But if you wish to learn anything other than the obvious, you are in the wrong place.
Sports documentary done right
Build up, behind the scenes, event parameters, event itself....... And the aftermath. This is how a sports movie should be done..... Unlike the new reality show version in Fittest in Dubai. They're not even telling you what the workout is in the newer shows, much less showing any of it. And we're all here for the aftermath which was huge in this 2017 edition. You wont be disappointed.
