What is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Games Open is the world's premier test of fitness. Since 2011, the fiveweek five-workout online competition has accurately ranked the fitness of thousands of
competitors. Sign up for $20, do the workouts, enter your scores, and you will be ranked
in relation to your peers in your age division, competition region, state and country.
Workouts are released online each Thursday and athletes have until the following
Monday to submit their scores.
It all starts February 25, 2016.
The CrossFit Games stand alone as the ultimate test of fitness. No test, regardless of its
lofty claims, can grant legitimate title to the best without first providing access to all.
Anyone with $20 and access to equipment commonly found in CrossFit affiliated gyms,
such as a barbell and bumper plates, pull-up bar, jump rope and rowing machine, can
sign up and compete in the five-week, five-workout competition. More than 272,000
athletes from around the globe competed in 2015, ranging in age from 14 to 86
years old.
As the largest CrossFit community event of the season, the Open ties together athletes
from within the same gym to those in their broader city, country and world. For five
weeks, you—and the hundreds of thousands of other people who signed up—are at the
whim of the Director of the Games Dave Castro, taking on workouts that may push you
to learn a new skill, improve the skills you already have, or go into a darker place than
you've ever been before.
Let’s represent CrossFit Lawrence and (and all local crossfitters who want to
participate with us) and make a big presence in the community this year!
If you can’t afford the $20 or don’t want to be scored, you can still sign up and
work out with us! We hope that you do. This will be a great way to bond as a box,
set major goals, and support the athletes who have been training all year for this
event!
We will also need official judges! If you don’t want to do the workouts, but want to be a
part of the open, this is a great way to get involved. You can also both judge and
participate in the workouts!
