Ketchum, ID – On September 17th, 5B CrossFit and the Ketchum professional and volunteer fire departments hosted Fight Gone Bad 6 in the Ketchum Town Square. On this day, over 2 million dollars was raised by 1100 CrossFit affiliates worldwide, to benefit the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (providing assistance to the families of wounded or deceased soldiers), Infant Swim Resource (teaching water survival skills to kids) and Camp Patriot (which takes disabled vets on outdoor adventures). The 40 participants in the Ketchum’s Fight Gone Bad raised $4000.
With rock concert energy, CrossFit athletes of all levels were set in motion as the square erupted with the words “3,2,1, go!” Pounding music, an emcee delivering the play by play and a cheering crowd, many of whom had never seen a CrossFit workout before, inspired the participants to give their all. “FGB6 is a wonderful way for us to give back to the soldiers and their families who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our country. These charities ensure that the families of veterans are not forgotten,” says Alex Margolin, who helped 5B CrossFit co-owner Kyl Samway and Ketchum Fire Department Captain Tom McLean organize the event.
Fight Gone Bad 6 (FGB6) is a workout that comprises five exercises, consecutively performed for 1 minute each with a 1 minute rest between the three rounds. The workout takes 17 minutes and is grueling if done for a high score. However, anyone can participate by scaling the weights and slowing down the number of repetitions. Each exercise has strict standards and must be completed in the following order: wall ball (throwing a heavy medicine ball to a 10 foot target), sumo deadlift high pull, box jump, push press and row.
There is an exciting community of CrossFitters growing in the Wood River Valley who participate in CrossFit training and fundraising efforts. On October 22, 5B CrossFit will host Amazing Grace, presented by Barbells for Boobs, an annual event to raise money for Mammograms in Action.
