CrossFit Forte schedules Murph Saturday

CrossFit Forte posted its Memorial Day weekend schedule on May 21, saying the Nashville gym’s main Murph workout will be held Saturday at 8 a.m., with a second session set for Monday at 8 a.m. The schedule appeared in the gym’s daily programming post for Friday, May 22, 2026. The post also told athletes to scale back in the days before the event, advising them to “rest and recover” or do “low intensity active recovery.” ### When is CrossFit Forte running Murph? Saturday, May 23, is listed as CrossFit Forte’s main Murph day, with an 8 a.m. start time on the gym’s website. Monday, May 25, is listed as a repeat opportunity, also at 8 a.m., in the same May 21 post. The May 21 programming entry was published under the heading for Friday, May 22, 2026. CrossFit Forte used the post to outline both the holiday workout plan and the lead-in programming for members before the event. ### What did the gym tell athletes to do before the workout? CrossFit Forte told athletes ahead of Murph to avoid piling on more hard training in the final days before the event. The gym’s post said members should “rest and recover” or do “low intensity active recovery” before Saturday’s workout. That guidance appeared alongside the regular class programming, making the Murph note part of the gym’s broader training plan rather than a separate announcement. The post did not describe any competitive heat structure or registration requirement in the material reviewed. ### What workout details were posted? CrossFit Forte listed workout programming and start times on its website in the May 21 entry. The post identified Saturday at 8 a.m. as the main Murph session and Monday at 8 a.m. as the repeat. The website entry also framed the days immediately beforehand around reduced effort. CrossFit gyms commonly post daily “WOD,” or workout of the day, programming on their sites, and CrossFit Forte used that format for the Murph schedule and pre-event guidance in this case. ### Why is Murph on the Memorial Day calendar? Murph is widely observed at CrossFit gyms over Memorial Day weekend as a recurring community workout. In separate Memorial Day coverage, CrossFit Bound described Murph as one of CrossFit’s most meaningful holiday rituals. CrossFit Forte’s post did not add broader commentary beyond the schedule and training advice. The Nashville gym’s entry focused on when members should arrive and how they should prepare in the days before the workout. ### What happens next at CrossFit Forte? Monday, May 25, is the next listed Murph date on CrossFit Forte’s schedule, with the repeat session set for 8 a.m. (crossfitforte.com) The gym’s May 21 website post remains the published source for the workout timing and pre-event preparation guidance.
