COMMON GROUND RUN CLUB

Starting this Saturday, we’ll begin warming up at 8:30 AM before heading out on the bike trail right from the gym.

Whether you’re looking to walk, jog, or run, we’ll have multiple distance options available so everyone can join in at their own pace. Come enjoy the weather, get some movement in, and spend time with an awesome community.

This will be a weekly Saturday tradition (weather dependent) until further notice, giving our community another opportunity to move, connect, and enjoy the outdoors together.

We’ll still be having our Train Class at 7:00 AM, so come get some lifting in before we hit the trail.

All levels welcome. Bring a friend and come train together.

Every year on Memorial Day, communities across America gather to take on Murph.

Not because it’s trendy.
Not because of the score.
Not because of the leaderboard.

But because names deserve to be remembered.

Today at Common Ground, we didn’t just do a workout. We honored sacrifice. We honored service. We honored the men and women who gave everything so we could live freely alongside the people we love.

Lt. Michael Murphy was not a workout.
He was a son. A teammate. A leader. A man who answered the call to serve and laid down his life for others.

And he represents so many others who made the same sacrifice.

Murph is not about proving toughness.
Nobody will care about your time next week.
Nobody will remember if you wore a vest.

What matters is why we show up.

Because somewhere, a child never got their parent back.
A spouse never got the chance to grow old with the person they loved.
A family was changed forever in the name of freedom.

That’s the cost behind the life we get to live every day.

So when things got hard today, we remembered:
We were choosing discomfort for a few hours.
They gave everything for a lifetime.

At Common Ground, we believe fitness means something bigger when it’s rooted in community, gratitude, and purpose.

Honor them through your effort.
Honor them through how you lead your family.
How you serve your community.
How you show up for others.

Say their names.
Tell their stories.
Carry their memory forward.

Because as long as we continue to remember them, our heroes never die.

This Monday we come together to challenge ourselves, support each other, and honor the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

We’ll begin briefing the workout and warming up at 8:00am. Whether it’s your first Murph or your fiftieth, there will be plenty of scaling options for both movements and volume so every fitness level can take part. Come move with the community and be a part of something bigger than yourself.

This is a FREE community event and everyone is welcome. We’ll also be accepting donations of any amount, with all proceeds going to ValorFit — an organization that helps veterans and active-duty service members stay active through fitness, community, and wellness support.

After the workout, stick around for breakfast burgers and time with the community. Train hard, honor well, and spend the morning with us at Common Ground.

It’s more than a workout — the Murph Challenge takes place each Memorial Day to honor the legacy of Navy SEAL LT Michael P. Murphy and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. This is a cause we deeply support, and we encourage our entire community to take part in something bigger than ourselves.

This is a FREE event open to everyone in the community. Throughout the event we’ll be accepting donations, with every dollar going directly to

Whether you’re doing the workout, cheering people on, or just coming to hang out after, we’d love to have you there. We’ll be grilling out afterward, so come spend the morning with an awesome community and help us support a great cause.

Join us, May 25th @ 8:00am at Common Ground Training! (328 East Main Street Lexington, OH)

AI can replace a lot of things.
Workouts aren’t one of them. Community definitely isn’t.

At Common Ground, it’s more than training. It’s people pushing each other, showing up together, and building something real every single day.

No algorithm can replace the energy in the room, the accountability beside you, or the friendships built through hard work.
