The CrossFit Open is for everyone, regardless of your experience or fitness level. It’s a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, connect with the CrossFit community, and celebrate your fitness journey.
What is the CrossFit Open?
The Open is a three-week worldwide competition where athletes complete workouts at their local CrossFit affiliate (or even at home) and submit their scores online. It’s a chance to test your fitness against others in your age group and around the world.
Why participate?
- Accountability and Motivation: The Open provides a goal to work towards and helps you stay motivated throughout the year.
- Community: The Open brings the CrossFit community together, fostering camaraderie and support.
- Personal Growth: It’s an opportunity to push your limits, achieve personal goals, and track your progress.
- Competition: For those with competitive aspirations, the Open is the first step towards qualifying for the CrossFit Games.
But this year, there are even MORE reasons to sign up!
- The Community Cup: This brand new online competition groups you with other athletes of similar abilities based on your Open performance. You’ll be assigned a level from 1-10 (10 being Elite) and compete against others in your tier. This takes place mid-June right here at CrossFit Chiltern, giving you another exciting goal to work towards after the Open!
- CrossFit Chiltern Pairs Competition: We’re hosting a fun in-house pairs competition exclusively for athletes who complete all 3 Open workouts. This is your chance to team up with a friend and put your fitness to the test! (Date TBC)
Who can participate?
The Open is designed for everyone, with divisions for all ages and abilities:
- Individual: For athletes aged 18-34.
- Age Groups: For teenagers (14-17) and masters athletes (35+).
- Adaptive Divisions: For athletes with permanent impairments.
Workout variations:
- Rx’d: The most challenging option, performing the workouts as prescribed.
- Scaled: Offers modifications for some movements and lighter weights.
- Foundations: A great starting point for those new to CrossFit.
Common concerns:
- “I’m not fit enough.” You don’t need to be at a certain fitness level to participate. The Open is about challenging yourself and celebrating your progress.
- “I don’t want to share my scores.” Sharing scores is part of CrossFit culture, promoting accountability and community.
- “Why pay the registration fee?” The fee demonstrates commitment and supports the global CrossFit community.
