Coastal CrossFit will be running a Hero WOD in honor of those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Join us at 8:30am. All other sessions are cancelled.
When a service member dies in the line of duty, a CrossFit Hero workout is created in their name. Hero WODs are an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of the fallen – to speak their names and honor their memories. These workouts have been a tradition of workout gyms since 2008. ”
