CrossFit Forte schedules Murph 8 a.m.

CrossFit Forte used its Friday programming post to set the timing for its Memorial Day Murph weekend in Nashville, telling members the gym’s main event will be held Saturday at 8 a.m. The same post said athletes who planned to do Murph should either rest on Friday or limit themselves to low-intensity active recovery. CrossFit Forte also listed a second option for members who cannot attend Saturday, saying Murph will be available again Monday at 8 a.m. ### When is CrossFit Forte holding Murph? CrossFit Forte’s May 22 post said the gym’s “main Murph event” is scheduled for Saturday at 8 a.m. The Nashville gym also said there will be a Monday 8 a.m. alternative for members who want to complete the workout on Memorial Day itself. The scheduling matters because many CrossFit gyms spread Murph across the holiday weekend rather than limiting it to one class block. (crossfitforte.com) CrossFit Forte’s post framed Saturday as the primary gathering and Monday as the backup option. ### What did the gym tell members to do the day before? CrossFit Forte’s May 22 guidance was direct: members planning to do Murph were told to “rest” or perform only “low-intensity active recovery.” The advice appeared in the gym’s regular daily programming post ahead of the weekend workout. (crossfitforte.com) That kind of instruction fits the way affiliates often handle Murph preparation, using the day before for reduced training volume rather than another demanding session. (crossfitforte.com) In this case, the gym spelled out that approach in advance of the Saturday event. ### What is Murph in this context? Murph is a Memorial Day workout that many CrossFit affiliates run annually as a community event. (crossfitforte.com) CrossFit Forte’s post treated it as a named gym event rather than a normal daily class, separating it from Friday’s regular programming and giving members specific preparation instructions. The structure of the announcement also showed the workout’s place in the holiday calendar. (crossfitforte.com) By posting on Friday, May 22, and setting start times for both Saturday and Monday, the gym signaled that Murph is one of its featured Memorial Day weekend sessions. ### Are other local gyms doing the same thing? CrossFit Mt. Juliet published its own May 22 programming post under the heading “Memorial Day Murph Challenge 2026.” That post also urged members to order “MURPH T’s & Tanks,” showing that nearby gyms are pairing the workout with apparel and community promotion. (crossfitforte.com) The Mt. (crossfitforte.com) Juliet post did not change CrossFit Forte’s schedule, but it did show the broader pattern across the Nashville-area CrossFit community as Memorial Day weekend approached. Multiple gyms were already using May 22 posts to organize Murph participation and related logistics. ### What happens next for members? Saturday at 8 a.m. is CrossFit Forte’s main Murph event, according to the gym’s May 22 post. (crossfitmtjuliet.com) Monday at 8 a.m. remains the alternative slot for athletes who miss the main session or prefer to do the workout on Memorial Day. (crossfitforte.com)
