The Weekly Fight

The Weekly Fight was created to help promote healthy lifestyle through Camaraderie, Mission and Purpose. We are determined to reduce Veteran suicide by teaching Veterans how to transition and turn Post Traumatic Stress into Post Traumatic Growth.​ With our partners The Weekly Fight provides free workouts to Veterans, First Responders and their Family Members. We stress the family unit and partner relationships because Post Traumatic Stress not only effects the Veteran but the family as well. At these weekly workouts we dedicate the WOD to a Veteran. Sometimes it is a local Veteran that can come in and share his experience, other times it is a Veteran that has gained national or local attention. We do this to help break the stigma and show the contributions Veterans are making to their communities.​ We welcome civilians to our workouts which helps bridge the Veteran and civilian divide. This gives Veterans an opportunity to be in an environment that is supportive and has likeminded individuals. The military mindset of everyone suffers together is a perfect fit with the CrossFit community. Our workouts are always partner or team based to help build that camaraderie. Result shared pain brings people together.​ Our business model focuses on three pillars Education – At our workouts the Veteran and Chapter President will shall experiences, discuss trauma and how they turned their lives around. We hold a “Trauma Panels” at West Chester University, where we discuss what Trauma is, with both Veterans and civilians. Crisis Management Fund – Used to assist Veterans and their families, in need of financial support. Scholarship Fund – Used to help the surviving children of Post Traumatic Stress fund their higher education.​ We are currently located at Fire for Effect Athletics in Manayunk, CrossFit Inspire in Frazier, PA, CrossFit Petram in Middletown, Delaware, CrossFit Batcave in York, PA, CrossFit Thunder Hill in Oxford, PA, Paul Bunyan Fitness Newtown Square, PA, Pottstown Athletic Club Pottstown, PA. and CrossFit ENG in Cape Coral, FL Local Veteran Family In need.

The Weekly Fight is reaching out to our community seeking donations to help cover the cost of repairs to the family's home. After a series of unfortunate circumstances left in need of significant structural repairs forcing this family of six to move into the only room in the house fit for occupancy. The immediate needs include ensuring the house is structurally sound, repairs to windows/siding/gutters so they are weather proofed for winter, as well as remediation of a severely water damaged, mold infested basement.
