Take On the Murph Challenge at Drive

On May 23, Drive Custom Fit will host its first-ever Murph Challenge, bringing together members, non-members, athletes, and first-timers for one of the most recognized fitness challenges in the world.

This FREE community event is designed to challenge participants physically and mentally while creating an unforgettable team-driven experience inside Drive.

Whether you are an experienced athlete, training for HYROX, or simply looking to push yourself in a supportive environment, the Murph Challenge is an opportunity to test your grit, challenge yourself, and train alongside an incredible community.

What Is the Murph Challenge?

The Murph Challenge is a well-known fitness workout traditionally completed around Memorial Day. The workout includes:

  • 1 Mile Run
  • 100 Pull-Ups
  • 200 Push-Ups
  • 300 Air Squats
  • 1 Mile Run

Many athletes complete the workout while wearing a weighted vest, though scaled and modified versions are commonly offered to make the challenge accessible for all fitness levels.

At Drive, participants will have the option to complete the workout:

  • RX
  • Scaled
  • Modified for beginners

Our coaching staff will help participants choose the right version based on experience and fitness level. Weighted vests are welcome for participants looking to take on the full Murph experience, though they are not required to participate.

The Meaning Behind the Murph Challenge

The Murph Challenge is more than just a demanding workout. It was created to honor Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, a U.S. Navy SEAL who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005 during Operation Red Wings. Lt. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage and sacrifice.

The workout was one of Murphy’s favorite training sessions, which he originally called “Body Armor.” Over time, it became known worldwide as “Murph” and is now completed every year by fitness communities, military personnel, and athletes as a way to honor service, sacrifice, resilience, and mental toughness.

While the workout is physically challenging, the meaning behind it is what makes the Murph Challenge such a powerful experience for many participants.

MORE THAN JUST A WORKOUT

The Murph Challenge is known for testing endurance, resilience, teamwork, and mental toughness. While the workout itself is demanding, the experience is ultimately about showing up, pushing your limits, and finishing together as a community.

At Drive, community has always been at the center of what we do. From IGNITION and HYROX training to our group classes and coaching environment, we believe training is more powerful when people support each other through the process.

Drive’s first-ever Murph Challenge will be led by our very own veteran, Maria, bringing an added level of meaning and purpose to the event. As participants take on this challenge together, Maria will help guide the experience and continue the team-driven energy that defines Drive.

This event reflects that same energy:

  • One challenge
  • One community
  • Train together. Finish together.

FREE for Members and Non-Members

The Drive Murph Challenge is completely FREE and open to both members and non-members.

This is a great opportunity to:

  • Experience the energy inside Drive
  • Train alongside the community
  • Challenge yourself in a motivating environment

Inside Drive Custom Fit: Jake on the Food for Thought Podcast

drive-at-iheart-radio-food-for-thoughtDrive Custom Fit was recently featured on the Food for Thought podcast on KISS 108 and iHeartRadio, where owner Jake Bosse shared the story behind one of the fastest-growing fitness communities in Salem, New Hampshire.

Hosted by Billy Costa, the conversation brought together fitness and nutrition, featuring
Justin Aguirre and Allen Campbell of AC Kitchen, known for being Tom Brady’s personal chef.

The episode covered more than just workouts. It explored the evolution of Tuscan Village, the growth of Drive Custom Fit, and how structured training and smart nutrition work together to deliver real results.

From an Idea to the Anchor of Tuscan Village

Tuscan Village

Drive didn’t start as what you see today. It started with a simple idea: create a better training experience. One that goes beyond workouts and actually helps people build a strong, sustainable lifestyle.

From a small training space to becoming the fitness anchor of Tuscan Village, the vision has always been the same: build something different.

Not just bigger. Not just louder. Better. Today, Drive is a 25,000-square-foot facility built around purpose, structure, and a system designed to deliver real results.

What Makes Drive Different

At the core of Drive is a simple philosophy: training should be complete.

That’s why everything is built around four key pillars:

  • Strength
  • Endurance
  • Cardio
  • Recovery

It’s not random or guesswork; it’s a system. Every class, every session, every program is designed to help you move better, get stronger, and stay consistent over time. Because results don’t come from doing more. They come from doing the right things consistently.

Nutrition That Supports Performance

A major part of the conversation focused on the role nutrition plays in performance, recovery, and long-term health.

That perspective was reinforced by Allen Campbell, founder of AC Kitchen and former personal chef to Tom Brady.

With more than 25 years of experience, Allen has built his career around a simple belief: food isn’t just fuel—it’s a tool for transformation.

His work spans personalized nutrition, product development, and consulting with elite athletes and high-performance individuals. He’s co-authored multiple books on performance nutrition, including The TB12 Method, and continues to shape how people think about food, health, and longevity.

Through AC Kitchen, Allen delivers chef-crafted, organic meals designed to support energy, recovery, and consistency, aligning perfectly with the same principles behind training at Drive. He also works closely with Nuda Foods, helping reinvent comfort food with clean ingredients and performance-driven design.

Because real results don’t come from training alone. They come from how you support your body every day.

The Experience Hits Different

Circuit at Drive Custom Fit

One of the most relatable moments from the podcast came from host Justin Aguirre, who is also a Drive member, who shared what it was like walking into Drive for the first time and how quickly everything changed. Like a lot of people, he thought he knew what to expect. He didn’t.

One class in: Circuit, everything changed.

The intensity.
The structure.
The coaching.

It pushed him in a way he hadn’t experienced before.

That’s the difference.

Drive isn’t just a place you go to work out. It’s a place that challenges you, supports you, and keeps you coming back.

Training That Pushes You Forward

From high-energy circuit training to HYROX-style workouts, Drive is built to deliver.

Think:

  • Fast-paced, structured training
  • Full-body workouts
  • Real-time coaching
  • Measurable effort and progress

It’s designed for all levels. Whether you’re just getting started or pushing performance, the system adapts to you while still challenging you to improve.

That balance is where progress happens.

Built on Community

What really sets Drive apart isn’t just the programming.

It’s the people. From the coaching staff to the members on the floor, everything is built around a shared goal: getting better together.

You’re not walking in alone. You’re stepping into a system that’s designed to support you.

That’s where accountability comes from. That’s where consistency is built. And that’s what leads to real, lasting results.
