CHAD 1000X Origin

On behalf of Sara Wilkinson and The Step Up Project in the USA, we, the Trek4Vets team, are honoured to continue the work done since 2018 to bring the hero workout “#CHAD1000x” to Australia and New Zealand this Remembrance Day, 11 November.


Chad Wilkinson


The HeroWOD #Chad1000x pays tribute to Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, a warrior who tragically succumbed to the weight of multiple deployments, several traumatic brain injuries, blast wave injuries, and PTSD, leading him to take his life on 29th October 2018.

Trek4Vets Purpose

This year, we call upon each one of you to #StepUp and to stand alongside us.

Let's pay homage to Chad and countless others whose lives were cut short by this devastating crisis. But beyond memorializing them, let's come together to forge a resilient, supportive community. A community that not only recognises the struggles our veterans face but actively champions their well-being, ensuring they don't just survive, but thrive.

Your support will not only raise awareness but also bolster endeavours to make tangible differences in the lives of those at risk.

Let's shift the narrative.

Let's move from passive concern to active involvement.

Let's rally our local community where our veterans see not an end, but countless new beginnings.

Because every life is invaluable, and together we can step up and make a difference.

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.”

Sara Wilkinson

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.
