I went out there in a pink tutu, literally, glitter's flying everywhere, and it was so much fun. There was video footage of all this stuff online. My sister-in-law texted me, she was just like, 'Oh my god, your nephew just was going crazy right now because Mark Henry commented on your photo'. I was like, that's fake. So I ignored it. Then he actually ended up DMing me, 'I want to invite you out to one of our camps,'," said Bianca Belair.

Bianca Belair revealed that she was inspired to make that video after her brother sent her footage of women doing CrossFit. She would marvel at the video, stating that she had never seen anything like it, and it made her feel like she had to do this.
