Murph

For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run 
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. 
This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. 
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
Option for 
'Team Murph"
Both athletes must run 1 mile each at the beginning and end of workout, but may share the reps as needed.

Five Forty Friend Finding Fitness Fest is about to begin!

Working out by yourself is no fun for you, and gyms are notorious for low attendance in the summer. So what better way to solve BOTH problems, than to partake in our little summer event.

Have a friend join you at the gym.... they will love it (duh) and if they sign up, then your June dues are waived!  If your friend remains a member going in to July, then half that months dues are waived also!  WIN WIN!  More friends in the gym, more money in your pocket!

So, get a friend in the gym, if they join for June, then your dues are waived that month.  Free 540.  If they stay at the gym for another month (July), then half of July's dues are waived too!

News and Housekeeping!

Our current 540 cause was helping out one of our own, Dunia Maritza, out with her Dues at the U of A so that she can continue rocking HSPU with us at 540!  The in Gym donations were 1038 dollars! With the 540 match, that raises the amount to 2078 dollars!  There was also a go fund me act that many of you donated to that also raised over 2000 dollars.  Over 4 grand all told!  Well done to everyone!  It is a wonderful and good thing that we can do so much good and put others before our own current wants in the name of friendship!

2nd,
We realize that everyone has busy lives with multiple facets ongoing each and every day.  But we ask that moving forward, athletes please begin their workout at the start time of the session that they plan on attending.  We want everyone to enjoy the gym to the fullest and get be able to get back to their lives, but we also want to maintain a level of cohesiveness at 540 as well.  The trainers will make every effort to ensure that class begins on time and that it continues to flow in a timely manner.  That being said, please note that athletes will be expected to begin the workout at no later than 10 minutes after class start time.  This will help us at 540 to get everyone in and out in a manner in which can be planned and expected for as much as possible.  Thanks everyone!
