Reigning Fittest Man on Earth Jayson Hopper, two-time CrossFit Games champion Justin Medeiros, fourth-fittest man on Earth Dallin Pepper, and 2024 Games champion James Sprague traveled to Alaska to observe and participate in Air National Guard operations and training.
During the visit, the athletes were introduced to standard physical readiness assessments, including rucking, standing broad jumps, and swim evaluations. They also observed a pararescue training exercise and received guided tours of operational aircraft and facilities.
The group participated in select physical activities alongside Air National Guard personnel, including pararescue specialists (PJs), to better understand the physical and operational demands associated with recovery missions. The experience provided insight into the training protocols, discipline, and readiness required to support life-saving operations in austere environments.
Tune in to see if CrossFit’s fittest have what it takes to keep up with those who risk their lives for others everyday.
