Memorial Day Weekend (Thurs - Mon)
This year, we are asking members to dedicate their "Murph" in honor of someone’s memory, sacrifice, or personal battle — staying true to the workout’s original purpose of honoring Lt. Michael Murphy and our own comrades, friends, and family who gave everything in service to others.
We encourage members to make the workout personal by sharing the name or story of the person they are honoring along with their workout time. This dedication could recognize a fallen member of the military, a first responder, a brother or sister lost too soon, or someone currently fighting a major health challenge.
Memorial Day is ultimately about remembrance, sacrifice, and honoring those who carried the weight for others. We hope this year’s Murph serves not only as a physical challenge, but as an opportunity to reflect on the courage and commitment of those we dedicate it to.
Members are reminded that the workout can be modified to match their fitness level or completed using the Team option.
