Working out for a good cause – that’s something I will never say no to.

Cue Operation Broken Wing (OBW).

OBW is an event for CrossFitters to come together as a community and raise funds for youths at risk. This year, with REACH Community Services as the beneficiary, OBW will be held at a public venue, *SCAPE, for the first time. “We hope that the CrossFit community will develop a greater sense of empathy towards the youth-at-risk through a workout, as well as various engagement platforms during the event,” said the organisers from CrossFit Innervate.

How does OBW work?

2) Athletes will be sponsored a specific amount for every rep done and accomplished in a specific workout called “Fight For Hope”. 

3) The workout is 17 minutes long and athletes are to aim to complete as many reps as possible of 5 different movements throughout that duration. 

Last year, up to 100 individuals sponsored a total of 40 members and athletes, amounting to a total of $29,814 was raised. Corporate sponsor Dymon Asia also sponsored 20 cents for every rep by every athlete.

“This provided a huge sense of significance for them, as well as boosted their confidence dramatically. CrossFit is used to help divert much of their energy towards a positive outlook on fitness and not just to simply look good, but to be truly fit from the inside out,” the organisers of OBW added.
