Murph Mondays @ Ring of Fire

  • When: 06/22/2026
  • Posted In: 1st f

Starting this Monday 6/22 we will be initiating “Murph” Mondays at the Ring of Fire in honor of US Navy Seal Michael Murphy. Why wait for next Memorial Day to get better at pull ups? This is an opportunity to push your mind, body, and spirit with your fellow pax every Monday through the summer. This will take the place of the normal 5:15 bootcamp.  For those dealing with minor ailments / injuries there will be a modified Murph option available.
