Every year on Memorial Day, thousands of people around the world walk into a CrossFit gym and take on one of CrossFit’s most meaningful traditions: Murph.
Murph is more than a workout; it’s a tribute, a test of grit, and a shared act of remembrance.
This video explores the story behind the legendary Hero workout, from the life and sacrifice of Lt. Michael Murphy to how a brutally simple workout evolved into a global event uniting athletes, military members, first responders, and everyday people across continents.
Hear why people take on Murph year after year: to honor the fallen, to challenge themselves, to suffer alongside their community, and to remember that freedom is never free.
Whether it’s your first Murph or a tradition etched into your life, the workout is bigger than fitness. Somewhere between the first mile and the final rep, Murph reminds people what they’re capable of and who they’re doing it for.
This is the story of how one workout became a worldwide ritual of sacrifice, gratitude, and human connection.
