2016 Crossfit Open

The 2016 Crossfit Open will be kicking off this Friday! For those unfamiliar, this is the annual worldwide competition that kick starts the road to the Crossfit Games. Everyone that signs up gets the chance to complete the exact same WOD as others from other boxes locally and around the globe.

There are 5 total workouts that released over 5 weeks from Crossfit HQ, each being announced roughly midday Friday with a completion and submission deadline of 11:00am the following Tuesday.

As with previous years we’ll run the workout as part of the Saturday WOD. For those that can't make the Saturday and are wanting to get involved, let us know and we could possibly arrange a time more convenient. Any athlete who is hoping to compete at Regionals will need to follow a few extra steps during the Open with more contingency as to who is judging their WOD as well as a recording being provided. In reality for us this will be more about having some fun and chance to participate in a makeshift competition having your WOD judged and reps counted for.

We’ll be running the released workouts as our WOD for that day if you decide to register or not but we really want to encourage as many of you as possible to have a crack and get involved. Regardless if you're new or old to CrossFit, it's pumping few weeks that brings out a little bit more in everyone and a time to embrace the community aspect of Crossfit. If anything, the Open is an excellent way to see where your strength and weaknesses lye and also see how you fare against others around Australia and the world! The online comp page also gives you comparison options so you can see how stack up against the likes of a Rich Froning or Camille LeBlanc, but also someone with the same length of crossfit experience, age, weight etc. All your individual scores get used for our overall Affiliate score so pretty exciting time to see how stack up as a box!!
