February Hero Workout of the Month:

“Topsy”

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 25 minutes of:

3 Ring muscle-ups
8 Thrusters (115/75)
17 Calorie row

McCoy “Topsy” Turner, a loved member of the CrossFit community and former Seminar Staff trainer, died by su***de on March 8, 2025, after suffering from complex post-traumatic stress.

Turner served for 17 years in the Royal Navy, specializing as an exercise rehabilitation instructor. He was part of Operation Herrick when he served in Afghanistan before relocating to Bali and continuing his work in CrossFit education. Turner worked more than 250 Level 1 and Level 2 Seminars.

Turner was known for his warmth and kindness, and touched countless lives who attended CrossFit courses. He is survived by his sons Brodie and Tommy.

We don’t have to. We get to.

We get to move with purpose. Never taking that for granted.

Every Veteran’s Day, we do a Hero workout called “Chad.” Most of you know it well: 1000 Box Step-ups for time.
This workout is written in honor of Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkonson who died by su***de on Oct. 29, 2018.
Prior to his death, Chad used the workout to train to climb mountains like Cerro Aconcagua, South America’s highest peak.
Every year, we complete this workout together in honor of Chad, to support each other, and to bring awareness to the epidemic of su***de, particularly among our veterans.
We’re all stronger together, especially when we do challenging things in community with one another.

This year, we will be doing “Chad” on Saturday, November 8th. Everyone’s invited.

We have several options for the workout:

In the Gym Option:
1000 Box Step-ups at regular Saturday class times: 7:30, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
This workout is also great for kids and families too, everyone is welcome.
Weight (or no weight) and box height can be scaled to all levels.
If you want to carry weight, consider bringing a ruck, backpack, vest, or use a sandbag at the gym.

Outside the Gym Option:
If you want to do your step-ups outside the gym this year, we are meeting at Dog Mountain Trailhead at 8:00 AM for a CFV team hike. The hike is 6 miles, includes 2824 feet of elevation gain, and does require a NW Forest Pass or America the Beautiful Pass or $5 daily fee to park at the trailhead. Vest, ruck, weighted backpacks are all optional. Hydration and snacks recommended. If anyone would like to carpool, groups will be leaving the gym at 6:45 AM Saturday morning. It is likely to be chilly and weather can be unpredictable in the gorge, so please dress accordingly.

Veteran’s Day Option:
If you’re unable to participate on Saturday or just can’t get enough step-ups, you’re welcome to do “Chad” on Veterans Day in the gym.
We’ll be open for all regular classes from 5:00 AM until 7:30 PM, so you’ll have plenty of time to get it done.

No doubt they’re gonna crush it!

8 years ago today, Madeline and Kiley walked into CrossFit Fort Vancouver for their very first workout — and they’ve been crushing it together ever since!

From day one, these two have shown up, put in the work, and continued to level up year after year. They move with excellence, they’re awesome teammates, and they bring endless smiles and good energy to every session.

Madeline and Kylie, your consistency, positivity, and presence make CFV better. Congrats on 8 amazing years — and thank you for being such a special part of our CFV Family!

July Hero Workout “Gale Force”

This workout is dedicated to Devyn Gale, a 19-year-old member of the British Columbia Wildfire Service. Gale tragically lost her life on July 13, 2023, while bravely fighting a wildfire near Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. A falling tree struck her during efforts to contain the fire.

While dedicated to her role as a wildfire fighter, Gale was also pursuing a nursing degree, often integrating her studies into her physical training by hiking with a backpack filled with textbooks. An active member of Mountain Made CrossFit, her fitness regime was as intense as her dedication to service.

Devyn is mourned by her parents, Graham and Philomena; brother, Nolan; and sister, Kayln. This workout honors her courageous spirit and commitment to helping others, both in her community and through her aspirations in healthcare.

We don’t have to. We get to.
