CrossFit Warwick Grand Opening/ Fundraiser

When Warwick residents and CrossFit Warwick owners Ryan and Katie step up for their 17 minutes of the Fight Gone Bad workout on September 25th, they won?t be competing just for themselves, they?ll also be raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, LIVESTRONG, and the CrossFit Foundation.The event will take place on Saturday, September 25 at more than 500 CrossFit affiliates throughout the United States and around the world at 6 a.m. EST until 6 p.m. PST. Last year, over 5,200 people participated, raising more than $1.1 million for the charities. This year they seek to break the $2 million mark. In this workout, participants move through five stations for one minute each. Upon completion of the ?round? of exercises, they get a minute rest and go for two more rounds. Scoring is based on the number of repetitions the athletes can complete in each minute (rowing = one point per calorie burned). The workout was given its name by World Ultimate Fighting Champion BJ Penn, who remarked after finishing, ?That was just like a fight gone bad.? The stations include:
-Wall-ball: 20-lb. ball, 10-ft. high target
- Sumo dead-lift high-pull: 75 lbs.
- Box Jump: 20-in. box
- Push-press: 75 lbs.
- Row: calories
