The “Sea of Green” has landed in Miami, FL, only a few months ahead of TYR Wodapalooza, one of the most popular CrossFit competitions in the United States.
CrossFit Invictus has just opened Invictus Miami, adding to its already growing list of affiliates across the country.
- In addition to Miami, Invictus also has gyms in San Diego, CA; Boston, MA; Seattle, WA; and Washington, DC.

All About CrossFit Invictus Miami
Invictus is one of the most well-known training camps and affiliates in the country and a breeding ground for elite teams and individual athletes.
In 2023, Invictus won the team competition at the CrossFit Games and stood on the podium in 2022, 2021, 2018, and 2014.
CrossFit fan favorites have come from the Invictus ranks, and many have also gone to train and live in San Diego full-time.
But at its core, the affiliate is still a member-based business looking to expand, Jorge Valdes, co-owner of Invictus and Invictus Miami, told Morning Chalk Up.
- “Having lived in Miami for over 20 years, I am very excited to expand the Invictus family to include this new location,” Valdes said.
The gym has taken over CrossFit Armed, located in North Miami. It is currently open to the public.
Valdes adds that he’s been a member of CrossFit Armed for over six years and has been able to build a relationship with Chad Murphy, the co-owner of CrossFit Armed and now Invictus Miami.
- “With Invictus Miami, we will continue to expand our physical presence across the country, giving local residents an opportunity to experience Invictus coaching in person,” Valdes said.
Murphy characterizes this change as a beneficial move for the affiliate and all of his members.
- “With 30 years in the fitness industry, I am incredibly proud of the facility we’ve built and grown here in Miami over the past 14 years,” Murphy said. “This new transition will allow our community to expand further, reaching even greater heights.”
With Miami being the home to TYR Wodapalooza, the expansion is a natural fit for Invictus to be located in a major city with a robust fitness community.
Invictus Miami plans to have a grand opening party the weekend of TYR Wodapalooza. More details will be forthcoming.
