At our gym we regularly do hero workouts to honor those crossfitters in the military, firefighters, and police officers who were killed in the line of duty. This Friday will be a special Hero workout for one of our friends, David VanBuskirk. He was a member at SinCity CrossFit South and he loved CrossFit. He liked every kind of workout, and was always the nicest most humble guy at the gym. David was a true Hero; serving our community, going on hundreds of rescue missions, and giving the ultimate sacrifice doing what he loved, saving lives.
CrossFit Hq created this special Hero workout for David in August of 2016, and we do it every year in honor of David. This year it will be our Work Out of the Day on Friday July 21, 2017. 5am, 6am, 930am, noon, 430pm, 530pm, and 630pm WOD times are available. All law enforcement officers are invited to drop in to workout for free. We thank you all for putting your lives on the line every day to help our community.
