On Monday, May 29th we’ll be celebrating Memorial Day with a traditional “Murph”.

Level 1 and Level 2 classes will meet at 10am and 11:30am — you may attend at either time regardless of your level. All other classes are cancelled.

We’ll be hosting a “Murph” after-party around the corner at Battery Harris beginning around noon — stop by and hang out with your fellow survivors, and enjoy cider and wings!

The History

“Murph” honors Navy Lieutenant and Medal of Honor recipient Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout is one of CrossFit’s very first hero WODs. It was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. Learn more about Mike Murphy at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Murphy
