THE 2023 CROSSFIT OPEN

STARTS THURSDAY FEB 16th!!

Every year CrossFit conducts a search for the Fittest Men and Women on Earth and that begins with The Open. If you read the last blog, you read about training, which is YOU vs YOURSELF. The Open is also YOU vs. YOURSELF + EVERYONE ELSE. :) It’s what we would call competing! We don’t do a lot of competing, for good reasons, but it’s an important part of your fitness journey. There are workouts that are simply more important than others, workouts that we ask you to try harder than you normally would, like ASSESSMENTS (more on that shortly 🙃). These are workouts that measure your capability on that day, in that moment, so we can measure it later and see if you’ve improved or declined. Like levels.

So. You should sign up. CLICK THIS LINK It’s a lot of fun. You’ll build camaraderie with others competing, you might even surprise yourself with what you can do, and you’ll get an idea of where you stand amongst the people who do CrossFit regularly.

3 weeks, 3 workouts, 3 Fridays… starting Feb 16.

EVERYONE CAN PLAY. All levels, yellow-Black will have a workout catered to those skill levels.

Every Friday class for those 3 weeks is going to be whatever is announced the Thursday evening before. Those who are registered for the event will have a judge and we’ll run heats each class. If you can partner up and judge each other, that works out really really well. As a selfish ask, I would prefer for people to come to the afternoon and evening classes for their official attempts; it makes for more energy and fun.

If you have questions, ask any of your coaches. It’ll be a great challenge!

TRAINING

Assessments happen on monday & friday this week

We’ve been working through preparation for the SQUAT ENDURANCE and LACTIC TOLERANCE categories and we’ll be re-testing those this week. Good luck!! Make sure you log your levels, EVEN IF IT’S A LEVEL DOWN, you can always level it back up another time. It’s a datapoint along the path of your fitness, it doesn’t mean you suck.

IN-HOUSE

We’ve started moving membership billing and reservations over to ChalkIt.

I would REALLY appreciate the help getting everyone switched to that, but more on that next week in the blog.
