The CrossFit Open
You’ve heard us mention the CrossFit Open a few times now, and if you’re newer to us, or newer to CrossFit you might be lost as to what we’ve been talking about.
The CrossFit Open is the first stage to getting to the CrossFit Games. This year it’s a 3 week event that kicks off on March 11th. You can sign up at games.crossfit.com it costs $20 us to sign up, you can select CrossFit Indestri as your affiliate, and beginning the week of March 11th for 3 weeks CrossFit will announce what the workout is each Thursday night, and you have until the following Monday to submit your score online.
In years past we’ve done the workout as a group on Friday nights. You have a judge standing beside you counting your reps. Of course we haven’t had the open since the COVID pandemic started, so this year will be slightly different. We don’t know all the logistics yet. But we do know that we’ll do our best to bring the magic of the open for you!
The CrossFit Open is a magic time! As affiliate owners and coaches it’s a time when we get to see you push yourself past what you thought you could do. The camaraderie that surrounds the open is part of the magic as well. The facility use to be full of athletes competing, members cheering them on, helping judge, family members coming out to support. Pure magic!
There are different divisions, from RX to Scaled. This year, they’ve added an Adaptive Division, which Stouty is involved in! This is HUGE and something that we had only dreamed would happen back in 2013! (more to come on that). This year they also know that parts of the world are in lockdown, so they’ve added a no equipment division as well.
The CrossFit Open is chance for every CrossFit Athlete in the world to compete with their communities alongside the Fittest in the world. The old slogan for the open was, From Fittest to First-Timer, we all start together.
Of course you don’t have too sign up. But it is a lot of fun and we recommend it. Especially this year, it also gives you a goal to work towards, more motivation to keep training and keep moving, and the 2021 CrossFit Open will make history in CrossFit by being the most exclusive yet, which Stouty has played a role in with the Adaptive Division!
So, visit games.crossfit.com and get yourself signed up!
If you have any questions shoot us a message, the chances are someone else is wondering the same thing.
While the CrossFit Open is the first stage in the quest to find the fittest in the world. The magic of the open is that we can all take part. We’ll leave you with this video today.
