On paper, the MURPH workout can look overwhelming to some, and simple to others: one mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, then one more mile.

It’s a hero workout named after Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action on June 28, 2005, in the mountains of Afghanistan. He stepped out from cover to make a call for help. He knew what it would cost.

Each year around Memorial Day, thousands across the CrossFit community and broader fitness space take on this workout, not for time, not for personal triumph or recognition, but as a way to remember. To hold space for the weight of that kind of choice, that kind of sacrifice, and the lives behind it.

For us, Murph holds something even closer. For over a decade, we’ve had the privilege of sitting across from service men and women—listening to their stories, and witnessing the weight they carry long after they come home. The physical effort of this workout is something we understand. That deeper weight is something we approach with humility.

This shirt is not about performance.
It’s not about a score. It’s about remembrance.
It’s about honor and respect. There is a moment in each attempt of this workout when quitting becomes an option, and that is when we remember why we chose to begin. It’s about choosing, in a small way, to carry something heavy on purpose.

We wear it as a gesture, one that acknowledges sacrifice, honors service, and reminds us that some burdens are never set down.
