On September 26th, Primal Fitness will be participating in Fight Gone Bad IV! Yes, It's that time of the year again. And yes, we're late telling all of you!
For those that have been Primal members long enough, you may remember our Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser from last September. Well, it's time to strap back into the rower, pick up the medicine ball, and embrace the suck. It will probably be miserable, but it's for a good cause. To our newer members who may be unfamiliar with this event, here's a little info...
This is the fourth annual Fight Gone Bad fundraiser benefitting two great causes: 1)
The Wounded Warrior Project, which helps provide assistance and care to America's injured soldiers returning from overseas and 2)
Athletes For A Cure: an iniatitive developed by the Prostate Cancer Foundation to help fund research in hopes to one day find a cure for prostate cancer. Hundreds of CrossFit affiliates from across the nation participated in this event last year and raised over $100,000. Primal alone contributed over $7000 to that total. Randi Watts and Anna Romagnoli raised the most money, each raising roughly $1000 in donations. Primal's goal this year is to raise $10,000 before September 26th. Short notice? Yes. Can we do it? Absolutely.
Here is a video explanation/demonstration of Fight Gone Bad. Do not be afraid. Like all CrossFit workouts, it is infinitely scalable and can be adjusted to your skill and fitness level. How well you do on the workout matters little in comparison to the overall impact you make by raising money for prostate cancer research and America's wounded heroes.
