This Saturday November 9th, prior to Veteran’s Day on Monday November 11th, we will be programming Chad1000X during our 8:00AM and 9:00AM CrossFit Classes. The 8:00AM class capacity has been increased to 20 and is now open for reservations.
"The hero workout “CHAD” in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018, due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries, and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad’s life and legacy and to raise awareness for suicide prevention”
Below the workout, I’ve included additional information about the workout, its history & goal along with links to the Step Up Foundation and Chad1000x.
We’ll run classes as usual with a whiteboard brief & warmup. The goal is to get you started fairly quickly in order to have as much time as possible to complete the workout. There will be a soft time cap 5:00 prior to the next class.

CHAD1000X has brought together thousands of registered participants, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars raised since 2020, looking to be a part of something greater than themselves. To not only bring awareness to the epidemic of suicide, particularly among veterans but also to help be part of the solution through the support of The Step Up Foundation and other veteran health initiatives.
This year, join us again in paying respect to Chad Wilkinson and all those who have been lost to suicide, while also committing to try to change the number. #CHAD1000X
All proceeds of the CHAD 1000X fundraiser will go to support Veteran Mental Health Initiatives through The Step Up Foundation which, in conjunction with Sara Wilkinson, will provide financial support to other nonprofits dedicated to Veteran Mental Health Initiatives."
