Members of the local gym, The Bar, and Marine recruits came together on Veteran's Day, November 11 in honor of veterans. The gym hosted a fundraiser for the Upper Peninsula Honor Flight and a Workout of the Day (WOD) that was a memorial workout through the Crossfit community for Chad Wilkinson. Chad was a Navy SEAL for 21 years who died by suicide due to brain scarring. The workout challenged participants mentally with 1,000 weighted step-ups on a box. The group was ecstatic to be able to raise $1,001 for the Upper Peninsula Honor Filight. Owners and coachs at The Bar, Martina Mileski and Jeanne Polishak commented "We are incredibly proud of our gym members for raising funds last weekend for the UP Honor Flight". The Bar located in Escanaba provides a facility with classes that support constantly varied, high intensity, functional fitness."
