CHAD 1000X

“Step up for those who have stepped for you”

Trek4Vets Purpose

Let’s not only honour Chad and all those lost to the invisible wounds of service, but also support those still fighting silent battles today.

Your participation helps fund vital veteran programs through our charity partners:

  • Waves of Wellness Foundation delivering surf therapy programs that reconnect veterans with the ocean, community, and self.
  • Harbour Combat Sports supporting veterans through Jiu-Jitsu and combat sports that rebuild confidence, discipline, and belonging.

Together, we move from remembrance to action, helping our veterans not just survive, but thrive.

CHAD1000X Hero WOD

How It Works

1000X Step Ups completed as a team, partner, or individual for time.

3 OPTIONS:

1

Slick

No weight. You pick the height of the step-ups.

2

Standard

15Kg/10Kg weight. You pick the height of the step-ups.

3

Expert

20Kg/15kg weight. Use 20″ box for step-ups.

“Even while serving as a SEAL, Chad took time to scale up to the Expert version. There is zero shame in starting Slick, or with Standard weight, or in sharing the steps with a friend.”

    Training Program

    The Chad1000X HeroWOD is designed to emulate Chad’s preparation he gave for mountainous warfare.

    Even himself, scaled the workout according to his current fitness level. We certainly encourage affiliates hosting the workout to begin filtering lower body training to prepare their community for the day. If you want to implement further training in to be best prepared, look at downloading our 4 week program designed by Australian combat veteran and strength and conditioning coach – Ant Plater.
