CrossFit Programming at Blue Eagle in May
Every rep in May is pointed at the same target: Monday, May 25, 7 a.m., Memorial Day Murph.
That is not an exaggeration. Blue Eagle Fitness May programming is Phase 2 of our 2026 annual plan, and the entire phase carries a single name: Prepare for Murph. Every strength decision, every benchmark, every long conditioning piece this month exists to put you in the best possible position to perform on Memorial Day in honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy.
Here is your full look at what we built, why we built it this way, and what you can expect when you show up.
