What is the CrossFit Open? The Open is a series of 5 workouts spanning over 5 weeks where CrossFit athletes can record their scores and measure themselves up against others in their same age group, region, or anyone across the entire world. Whether you are a Games bound athlete or you just want to prove it to yourself that you can do it, the Open is for everyone. There is a scaled version of each workout so even if you cannot complete the workout as prescribed, you can still compete and submit a score.

Starting in 2014 we chose to make the Open a sort of festivity at East Dallas CrossFit. Every Friday evening at 6:30pm, starting on February 24th, we will host Friday Night Lights. This is a time when all of the EDCF athletes who signed up for the Open can come in and do the workouts in a competitive and high energy atmosphere. Oh and we will also have beer and promise you a good time.

So why should you do the Open? The best answer I can give you is to do it for yourself. This is a time when you can apply all the training you’ve endured at the gym and make it mean something. To prove that you can. Will you make it to the Games this year? Statistically speaking you probably won’t. What you will do is come out of it with a new sense of pride, mental and physical fortitude, and appreciation for our CrossFit community here at EDCF. Prove it to yourself. It is a challenge, but one we all go through together and come out the other end better for having done it.

SIGN UP FOR THE OPEN BY CLICKING HERE

 

For some extra motivation, check out the first Open workout from 2014 at the gym. You might recognize a few faces! 🙂
