Murph Memorial Day Workout Recap

Every Memorial Day, we come together as a community to honor Lt. Michael P. Murphy and all fallen service members with the Murph workout:1 mile run • 100 pull-ups • 200 push-ups • 300 air squats • 1 mile run(Optional: with a 20/14 lb vest)

This tradition is about more than fitness. It’s about sacrifice, courage, and remembering those who gave everything for our freedom.

We had 30 athletes take on the Murph this year under cool, sunny skies. From first-timers to seasoned vets (and even a few with weighted vests), the energy and support were incredible. Thank you to everyone who came out!



🚻 New Bathroom Upgrades!

Big news - we now have two brand-new stalls with running water installed! These bathrooms are also heated for winter, so no more braving the cold on those early mornings. We’re constantly working to make your time at the gym more comfortable, and this is a big step forward.
