Today’s WOD:
Flood Cleanup Fran 🌧️😂💪

The gym flooded this afternoon from all the rain, and many of our GRIT peps showed up ready to help clean it up. So thankful for a community that shows up for more than workouts ❤️
Y’all are the best. GRIT Strength + Conditioning

This Memorial Day, we’ll once again take on Murph at GRIT Strength & Conditioning — but this year, we do it with even deeper meaning.

We are honored to dedicate this year’s Murph workout in memory of Matt Billingsley. Murph was Matt’s favorite workout, and we can’t think of a better way to honor his life, his service, and the sacrifice of all those who have served our country.

Join us as we come together as a community to remember, honor, and suffer together through the workout Matt loved most. 🇺🇸❤️

This Saturday, GRIT will be closed as we stand beside our friend, coach, and family member, Jennifer Billingsley, and her family during the funeral service for her son, Matt.

Many of you knew Matt from the early days at Optimal CrossFit and through the years at GRIT. He grew up in the gym — surrounded by barbells, laughter, hard work, community, and people who loved him.

Jenn has poured so much of herself into this community for years, and now it’s our turn to surround her and her family with the same love and support she has always given to others.

Please continue praying for Jenn, Kevin, and everyone who loved Matt as they walk through an unimaginable loss.

GRIT is more than a gym. We are family. And family holds each other up when the weight feels too heavy to carry alone. ❤️

If you’ve been looking for an easier way to hit your protein… this is it 👇

Our 1st Phorm Clear Protein drinks like juice (not thick shakes 🙌) and gives you 22g of protein—perfect after workouts or on the go.

Pair it with our Collagen for daily support—joints, recovery, skin, all the good stuff.

This is what a lot of us are using right now and loving 💯

Swing by and grab your favorite flavor!
