CrossFit works for everyone because intensity is relative to each person’s physical and mental capacity. When people train near their individual limits, whether they are an elite athlete or an elderly adult, they experience the same core benefits.

The needs of an Olympic athlete and a grandparent differ only in degree, not in kind. One aims for peak performance while the other seeks functional independence, but both need functional movement. Because of this, the foundational program doesn’t change; it is simply scaled.

Everyone does the same workout, scaled to their level.

Pay the man at 5:30. It makes for a cooler day.

Every Memorial Day, something unique happens inside CrossFit affiliates around the world.

People gather with a mission.
Tape their hands.
Lace up their shoes.
Write names on whiteboards.

And together, they take on Murph.

For some, it’s their first time.
For others, it’s a tradition years in the making.
But every rep carries the same purpose:
to honor the life and sacrifice of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy.

Murphy was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, during Operation Red Wings. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage and selflessness in combat.

The workout Murph was one of his favorites.

Originally called Body Armor, it became a CrossFit Hero workout in 2005 and has since become one of the most meaningful traditions in the CrossFit community.

1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run

Done together.
Done with purpose.
Done in remembrance.

But Murph was never meant to be about finishing first or doing it unbroken.

It’s about showing up.

For your community.
For the person next to you.
For something bigger than yourself.

Every year, affiliates around the world take on Murph side by side — first-timers alongside Games athletes, scaled athletes alongside Rx’d competitors, entire communities moving together with shared purpose.

That’s what makes Murph different.

It’s not just a workout in CrossFit.

It represents what CrossFit is capable of becoming when challenge, sacrifice, and community come together.
