Hey hey!!!! This post if for members AND NON members alike!!!! 📢🗣
We are a few days away from MURPH 2021!!!!! For those of you who aren't sure MURPH is a HERO WOD named after Ltd Michael Murphy. On June 28, 2005 Lt. Michael Murphy 29, of Patchogue, NY was KIA in Afghanistan. This WOD was his favorite workout. He nicknamed it "Body armor." Every Memorial day weekend, gyms/boxes around the globe gather to perform this workout now infamously called "MURPH." They do it in honor of the focused warrior and the great American that was Lt. Michael Murphy. Thankful this memorial day for his service, and we are calling you to join us to pay tribute to him, and the lives of countless others who have given their all for our country! Google more about him and the honor of doing this WOD.
This Saturday May 29th at 9am we will host MURPH at K1 (rain or shine)
This Monday May 31st at 9am we will host MURPH again at K1. (Rain or shine)
**FYI 9am will be the only Monday class time.**
Choose your date, but BE THERE. The WOD will begin promptly at 9:10am. This workout is a killer chipper. It will take you close to an hour to complete RX. Do not roll in at 8:55am and just pray about it. Lol You need to show up around 8:45am or earlier to stretch thoroughly, do our warm-up with us, and prepare for this WOD. Whether you choose to wear a vest and RX this workout, or chip away at it as a team or 2, 3, or 4+ that is up to you!!! But definitely have a strategy.
Past athletes who have RX it and worn a vest, did the 1 mile run, completed 1 pull up, 2 push-ups, and 3 air squats 100 times... Then completed the final 1 mile run. MAKE A GAME PLAN. Choose your team.
Who all is coming Saturday?? Who all is coming Monday!? Let us know!!
Photos will be taken, so be sure and festively wear your memorial day red, white, and blue AND/OR camo!!!! ❤🤍💙
Posting a couple past photos for encouragement and memory lane!!!
