There is a certain connection between CrossFit and people who dedicate their lives to serving their country and community.


CrossFit founder Greg Glassman trained police officers for a living before going on to create the juggernaut that is CrossFit, Inc. The face of the organization, Dave Castro, is a former Navy SEAL who discovered CrossFit while trying to stay fit while deployed in the early 2000s.


In addition, many servicemen and women practice CrossFit to stay in tip-top shape while serving. For their part, CrossFit HQ honors these men and women through many thematic brand elements that place significant emphasis on patriotism. One such element is the Hero WOD.


What is a Hero WOD?

Hero WODs are traditionally workouts created in honor of heroes who have died in the line of duty. Many are named after men and women who lost their lives fighting in the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan whereas others are men and women who died right here at home, defending and protecting their community as police officers, firefighters and paramedics.


Sometimes, the WOD is simply a name — Laredo, Murph, Bradshaw, or The Chief just to name a few.


In recent years, various CrossFit boxes and members of the community have created similar WODs to honor others who have fallen in different arenas — victims of the Boston bombing, a teacher who lost her life protecting children during the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, or even beloved coaches and CrossFit community members who have lost their lives tragically.


However, CrossFit HQ only officially recognizes men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty for hero WODs at this point, with over 160 named WODs honoring their sacrifices.


What is the Point of a Hero WOD?

In one word: honor. The point is to honor the fallen and to remember them in some small way. In my view, this means just giving your all to the workout whether that is “Heavy DT” like a Games athlete would perform or an 80-year-old lady doing half of a Murph and subbing in ring rows for pull-ups. The points is to just honor, remember and give it your best for those who have already given all they have to offer.


So without further delay, we offer you the complete list of hero WODs. See one that we’ve missed? Give us a shout in the comments so we can keep our page as up to date and accurate as possible.
