Event Description

Frontline Fitness invites you to join us for our first annual Memorial Day Murph Challenge. In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he named it "Body Armor".  From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honer of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. 

The "Murph" is more than just a workout, it is a tradition that helps push us, humble us, and dedicate a bit of pain and sweat to honor a man who gave everything he had.
