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.

HYROX Athletes and Performance Training

The Murph Challenge also aligns closely with the endurance, pacing, and mental resilience required in HYROX training.

As an Official HYROX Training Club, Drive incorporates performance-based training methods designed to improve:

  • endurance
  • strength
  • work capacity
  • pacing
  • recovery
  • mental toughness

Many of the same principles used in HYROX training apply directly to preparing for Murph-style workouts.
