The Workout
The workout promises to be a unique Hero WOD. 31 of America’s bravest have made the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. We can all agree that no workout will ever be enough to say thank you, but among this community it almost seems to be our version of the “moment of silence”, a small way we can honor the those that have gone before us. We hope you’ll join us for this moment of silence.
In regards to the specifics of the Hero WOD, it is still in the process of being created. We will provide more information as it becomes ready. Thank you!

Thank you!!!!!
This is amazing. Great job for hosting this event Karen. This is a blessing for the families of the departed.
A serviceman or women is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact. These service members gave the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you so much for doing this Karen. This is a great way to honor the fallen.
I hope that EVERYONE will come out and participate in this event!
If you let the fact that you are not fastest,strongest or the fittest keep you from doing it, then you have completely missed the point….Man Up!!!!
as the very proud and honored wife of an Army soldier and former Marine, I think it’s safe to say that yes those families are mourning their loss but they also have an overwhelming sense of pride and appreciation for the sacrifices that were made! this WOD is one way we can express our thanks and appreciation to them so I’m challenging EVERYONE to put your pride away and come out to kick butt on Saturday!!
