2019 CrossFit Open
The Open is just around the corner! Yes I know the CrossFit Games season is much different this year. But we are still going to challenge ourselves in the Open just as in years past. The Open is comprised of five workouts over five weeks. Workouts are are released on Thursdays by CrossFit HQ, and competitors have until the following Monday to complete the workout and log their scores.
We as a gym will be performing the workouts in a group setting on either Friday evenings or Saturday mornings (stay tuned for more info on that). Similar to last year, we will turn the open into a intramural style gym competition. Four teams will be formed after week 1 after 5 weeks, one team will be on top. Last year we had over 50 people participate…the more people the more fun! You do not need to official register on the CrossFit website to participate in the gym intramural competition.
Look for more info on the Intramural Competition in February.
