Legacy
The Giosi WOD is a fundraiser that helps Forgiven Warrior carry on the legacy of Jeff Giosi.
A legacy of unshakeable faith, enthusiasm, compassion, and hope for a healthier community.
Giosi WOD
The Giosi WOD is a fitness competition that serves as the benchmark fundraiser for Forgiven Warrior. It is both an in-person local event, as well as an online national leaderboard. Last year, hundreds of individuals participated at gyms all over the country and world, showing Jeff’s remarkable impact and reach.
Jeff Giosi
Jeff Giosi was a man of faith, devoted husband and father, owner of CrossFit Morgantown, elite athlete, wellness pioneer, firefighter, coach, son, brother, and best friend. Jeff passed away unexpectedly on January 23rd, 2021. Jeff had excellence in his career, but it was his impact on individuals and his greater community that he will be remembered for.

WOD MEANING

The repetitions are broken up by 1 Power Clean and 3 Front Squats, which represent the ages of Jeff’s sons, Mackie (1-year-old) and Arlen (3-year-old) at the time of his passing.
