Fitness Influencer vs Marines 

The silver bullet is a rectal thermometer that the corpsman uses when people pass out from heat exhaustion to get an accurate reading of the body’s core temperature

Will looks at rope “Yeah, that’s my most confident thing.” 3 minutes later… “I don’t think I can’t do it.”

As a marine i actually appreciate the fact that you show how hard it is to train like we do and you did not that bad for your first time

I love when he tries to recruit you, too real.

I like how he gives the "I'm just here to have fun, it's okay if I fail" disclaimer AFTER he already failed Level 1.

Former active duty Marine here. You nailed it, you were scared but you tried. That's what it's like to be in the military. You move through your fears and get it done. GJ on doing this.

I’m a 17 yo senior in high school and I’m going to meps soon. I’ve had family members in the army but they rarely talk about it. I’ve been in a slump lately and have also been a little scared (reality of it all hitting me and what not). But this video has gotten me motivated and happy to be able to soon serve my country. So thanks Will.

The scene from 17:00 looked straight out of a movie where everyone was pushing Will to reach the end line, loved every bit of this vid!

Wow that was seriously alot harder then I expected. Dangerous too.

As a Marine, I love that you took the time to do this. Really puts into perspective just how hard we train. Thanks for showing love Will!

Man, these guys have such infectious energy. Love the humor and discipline.

Shout out to those awesome Marines! They were so encouraging. Will did phenomenal for his first time attempting all of that.

The fact that these badasses were there supporting Will and not letting him quit on himself was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I was also rooting for Will👏 amazing job Will!!!! 👏

"Where is you happy place?" "Not here" is the most Marine thing I've heard in a long time🤣 OOH RAH

This video rocked. The awesome legacy of the Marine Corps captured through the toughness, spirit, and good nature of the troops along with Will's competitive spirit and good nature. Awesome stuff.

I love this video. The ending almost brought a tear to my eye for the people who haven’t served it’s so hard to understand the pain he went through to make this video he deserves everyone’s respect after this.

Love how encouraging the marines were. They could've perfectly laughed at Will's situation but instead decided to motivate him and recognize his hard work. Great comradery. I wish all of us had these types of people motivating us during our workouts.

This looks like one of the hardest challenges he's put himself through so far. What a legend Willy is.

As a Marine you crushed the events man those are hard as hell, congratulations.

Good to see the Marines laughing with him not at him. Great guys.

As a former Marine I gotta say you did a helluva job for doing them all in one day. Great work.

As a former Marine. I really enjoyed this one Will. Keep putting out great content. One of the best fitness role models on youtube.

As a former Marine (i am not) this video is amazing the way u faced all the task just mad respect,i remembered my training days and i am emotional now

I can hear my drill sergeant now...USE YOUR CORE!!

No egos here just a bunch of guys pushing each other to be better. Instead of simply bullying Will. They pushed him to do more than he thought he could and were clearly proud when he did! That's fucking sick 🤘🏻

Those marines all seemed really kind and funny. I'm glad everyone got to have fun together and we got to see how hard they work.

I love how they cheer him on and support him, so kind :)

Currently in. Mad respect. Love to see you getting after it!

I spent six years in the Marines and the thought of a PFT run is still a pain, but running all three in the same day takes some balls. That was definitely enjoyable to watch. He was doing it for fun, but when a promotion is on the line you can definitely push even harder through those events.

When Will said he knew how to do the rope obstacle course "with all arm" I knew we were in for a rough day 😂

I could see that this is his best video so far and the motivation in this video from everyone was way better than the motivation I seen any gym, including the gyms in his videos I literally liked the video for trying. You did great and you reminded me how important it is to have that male bond and to not quit. I appreciate that.

Ooorah takes a lot of heart to be one of us, thanks for taking the challenge and showing it’s not easy! You did great

As a former marine the fact you did the O- course, PFT, and CFT all in one day that was good shit! Respect

Dude, it’s great how the intensity picks up on those courses via Marines verbally motivating you. Sure, you could’ve probably felt less fatigued filming on your own at home with a mock lane setup. But when you’ve got a group of stacked and jacked dudes in uniform getting in there with ya it’s a whole ‘nother experience.

Seeing how excited all the marines got at the end was really awesome. Some amazing men are training and ready to protect our country.

aww these guys were the best. Really puts into perspective the brotherly and life long ties a lot of men create with their squad mates while in the service. Loved this one Will- and honestly, you freakin crushed it. I was hyping you out loud on the last one! 😂

Gotta make another comment. My time in the Corps 50 plus years ago helps me to this day. I’m 73. I’ve been self employed 43 years as a contractor/carpenter/builder. I’m still at it with ZERO intention of retiring. The Corps taught me that my physical/mental limits are way out beyond what one thinks they are. I learned that I can maintain forward motion in a shit storm. The camaraderie , esprit de Corps ....great friendships made bad situations survivable. Marines don’t quit. They laugh when challenged and push/pull their buddy if necessary to move forward. I think of my time in the Corps daily and thank God I enlisted. I was 17. A kid. I will be Semper Fidelis...Always Faithful till the day I die. Dave Heitman Sgt., USMC 1967-1970 19 months in Vietnam

And this is why Coach Greg is such a big advocate for cardio. This was brutal.

The best part of this video is at the end when every single guy is right there with you, every step, encouraging you to push through!

Why do I love watching his videos so much I don't know I don't watch weightlifting shows I'm 54-year-old Don't do exercises but for two weeks now I've been watching his videos I think it's the smile I think it's his love of doing what he does I think it's a knowledge of him learning new stuff all the time but he is so cool this dude is like so friendly,his smiles genuine

Can we just acknowledge and appreciate the editing? Whoever the editor is has been doing the Lords work, damn

These are some good Marines, especially the guy vaping during the 3 mile run. I remember those days when everyone was smoking cigs right before we started the 3 mile run. Classic. Salty. I never watched your videos but this one made me subscribe. Great job!! 🇺🇸

The level of encouragement and comadery is awesome!

Great support from the Marines, especially on that last section. Great effort! Well done.

The only thing I miss about the army was the friends I made, having people there to motivate you to keep going and not give up. Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done.

I remember seeing a video you talking about when you were younger and struggled with weight and you've come so far. Obviously we don't know you personally by watching these videos but you comes across as genuine and all around a good person. It's cool to see you grow and become a confident grown up. I like that you show the challenges too. You did a great job. Not many people can do most of these challenges.

Thank you too all the service men and women in the country

And Will is in pretty damn good shape so just shows the fitness level of out Marines

Excuse me?!?! My boy at 8:06 with the steezy shorts was holding a vape just minutes before they go out for a 3 mile run. That takes some damn dedication to be able to run that while vaping.

I respect him so much for doing this and making it real and entertaining!!!!!

That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I loved how all the Marines were so supportive

I don’t care what your fitness level is, this looked BRUTAL! Mad respect for you doing that. 😮

Thats right Will, in a Marine course its not about trying to be the best. Its about doing your best and help your teammates across. That shows something far better than being a champion, it shows leadership.

That looked intense as hell!!! Great Job, Will!! You're an inspiration for sure!

This team is amazing, so supportive!

One thing that surprised me about this was just how nice the marines were

I've been in the Marine Corps 20 years and although I can max out these events I've never done them all in one day. Plus over time you learn tricks like techniques to climb the rope and proper form to fireman carry. You actually did really well on all of the tests. Nice job! Love your videos! Thanks for creating, sharing and taking on new challenges.

LOL last step was to sign up! Im screaming.

That turbo tho 🤌🏽

Watching them all run with you at the end, yelling for you to sprint was epic! It made me think about how if that were in the battlefield you would be by yourself carrying a heavy pack or injured brother. They wouldn't be there to push you to move but all of your training involved they're support in your ability to push past your limits, building you up and giving you motivation to keep going in the face of extreme adversity. So each time you were faced with having to push yourself you would be reminded of all the support you have from your brothers.

Having completed many CFTs over the years, and having monitored hundreds, I’ve become intimately familiar with the sequence of events during the maneuver under fire and have seen everything that could possibly happen during the event. Thusly, no words can describe how taken aback I was when the grenade “exploded” during the grenade toss. Shit caught me way off guard 😅

Your honesty in your videos are the best bro 🙏🏼 nice video

Great message on the video. Randomly came here and glad I watched. Kudos to everyone on it.

always respect Will's willingness to try anything and everything. scoring in 1st class without technically training for it for a few months is super respectable. honestly a 25 minute 3 mile is very good too for someone who doesn't run hardly ever. by far the best fitness channel

Just give the editor of the video a raise already. That final test was hollywood worthy. God Damn.

Loved seeing them all root for/push Will on that last one. All heart.

I fucking love Marines. So much fun to hang out with

I'd be disappointed if there's no communal shower footage, Will.

The fact that Will did all this in one day is commendable.

Mad props to you brother. Loved the banter with those Soldiers. Watching from New Zealand.

A lot of my friends joined the marines. They came back strong af. Got mad respect for them

vaping while running and being a marine is crazy

I’m literally leaving for Marine Corps bootcamp tonight

Only difference from your fitness compared to there’s is that they make $1,800 a month and you make $1,800 an hour for it

mad respect for the marines training wherever you guys are.

I got out of the Marines in 2016 and this video is great, mad respect for you going out there and doing the course, PFT and CFT all in one day, that's insane!!! Shout out to these Marines, these dudes are great and give a perfect glimpse of how marines act and goof around on a daily basis! Good stuff!

Lol I’ve never seen Will this scared for a challenge before but that goes to show he really is getting out of his comfort zone.

i Love the motivation from the whole squad ! it's so awesome !!!

This was a great video. I've been a career fireman for 4 years now, and i would love to see you try our fitness tests and fire academy drills.

The fact that he did all three fitness tests all in one day shows how strong he is physically and mentally. Also, crazyyy bc I’m stationed in San Diego and could’ve witnessed one of the coolest and inspiring RU-vidrs out there.

Seeing this and remembering that I barely could run 1.5 miles in the Air Force for minimum time tells me I would have either gotten in the best shape of my life in the Marines or have been medically discharged for breaking everything in my body lol. Respect to you for even trying and salute to the Marines getting it done every day.

The marines' fitness requirements are 10x more than the other branches, I'm always amazed at their discipline and capabilities.

This video puts everything into a new perspective on everything we do, or at least what I did since I’m out. For those of you like me, we were all so used to this and don’t think anything of it other than “man I can’t wait to drink tonight and smoke a cigarette when I’m done”, then you look back on all of this and you just think “well shit, this seems a little bit too much” on the outside

The marine hitting the vape before the running is the most military shit ever 😂😂😂

So much respect for Will. Doing this on camera and finishing the course. Hopefully people can watch this and get motivated. Much respect for you Will. This one has to be in your top 5 best.

It's cool how supportive these guys were. That last segment looked brutal.

Good shit bro not everyone can go out and do a military pt test and here you are getting it done great job bro!!

Silver Bullet = Large Rectal Thermometer used to measure internal body temp in a heat case patient. Corpsman carry them as part of their standard medical gear.

I spent over seven years in the USMC. I give you credit for even doing this. Love your vids brother.

God this video takes me back. Marines got a single mind. I remember these guys even if I never met him. Glad you know the pain of that CFT finally

those marines got crazy friendly energy. Respect

You’re one of the reasons I was fit enough to become a Marine so watching this was p cool

These marines are seriously jacked. Bigger than most fitness influencers you see these days

This was a joy to watch. It reminded me of my times with the Marines as a Corpsman.

Did 6 years as a corpsman. Infantry. The hardest part about the physical training is going a week in the middle of a mountain eating MREs and chlorine water. While carrying 40pounds of gear and 40 pounds of medical supplies and then having to run all night and carrying people. The toughest marines you’ll see weight about 160 pounds. Ps I never silver bullet any of my marines. If they were falling behind I would grab their flak and pull them up hill. I had a corporal pull me up hill once, I burnt myself out running after “heat” casualties up hills. We helped each other.

I was a Corpsman, I love Marines! They are so fun. Thank you for doing this, brings back good memories.

Damn those guys were awesome! The encouragement they were giving was actually heartwarming.

This honestly shows the difference between aesthetic strength and functional strength

Will really out here making the best fitness content on RU-vid, the amount of effort he puts into his videos is insane. All for our viewing pleasure

Ya gotta love the Corp! Love the encouragement the were giving! Reminded me of my time at Paris Island back in79!
