Soldier's Functional Fitness Program
At Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas there is a group of Soldiers trying to build their supply of available equipment for CrossFit style workouts. We are not a CrossFit affiliate and are in no way infringing on the CrossFit Trademark or claim to offer CrossFit training. We are just a group of "troops" trying to be as physically resilient as possible and we find functional fitness is the way to go.
We have established a very small corner in a gym on post to dedicate to these workouts.
What would we like to accomplish with this site?
Raise enough donations to purchase equipment such as wall balls, jump ropes, climbing ropes, wall mounted clock/timer, boxes, bumper plates, floor mats, 33# and 45# Oly bars, resistance bands, a Concept2 rower and some mobility tools.
Body Armor Crossfit on Broadway street in San Antonio Texas is sponsoring a HERO WOD on 26 April 2014. 100% of proceeds go to this cause!

Contact me for comments, questions and suggestions.
Equipment donations are appreciated as well!
You may be asking, "Why donate to this cause? The military has money, right?"
Incorrect. This facility is in rough shape. There is zero budget for new equipment through 2015. We have requested through the proper channels. Unfortunately we are left to fund our request ourselves.
Myself along with several buddies (Army, Navy and Air Force and vets of all services) are doing everything we can to raise money and reach out to the community for equipment donations.
