Good day to our WH CrossFit Family
Welcome to our new official CF blog! As our family continues to grow, we wanted to create a monthly blog to keep you in the loop with all things WH and global CF, and also to create a space to shout out the amazing achievements of our community members and coaches.
A Season of Achievements and New Beginnings
As we approach summer, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared over the past few months. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work have been truly inspiring, and we have a lot to celebrate!
CrossFit Open 2024: A Remarkable Journey
Well done to everyone who participated in the 2024 CrossFit Open. Your commitment to pushing your limits and supporting each other was evident in every workout. We saw remarkable performances across the board, with many of you smashing PB’s and breaking mental barriers.
Congrats to those who made the quarter finals. Making it to this stage is no small feat and reflects countless hours of training and dedication. You’ve set a high standard for our community, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Myself and wife Nicola competed at the Semi’s in South Africa on the 31st May - 2nd June. We want to thank you for support so far, I can’t wait to share more of the event when back.

“MURPH”
Al Quoz, Ibn Battuta and Business Bay hosted the annual Hero WOD "Murph” last weekend. This challenging workout, named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another 1-mile run, all while wearing a 20 lb vest or body armor. It’s a demanding test of endurance and strength, but also a powerful way to come together and honor a hero. Congratulations to everyone who joined us for the workout, once again, your grit and support towards one another throughout the workout truly blew us away. We’re looking forward to what next years Murph brings!
Summer of Fitness & Fun
As usual, we will run a skeleton schedule over the Eid holiday but all classes will run as normal over Summer. If you’re travelling or staying local make sure to keep going, consistency is the glue that holds all the hard work together.
