The time is nearly upon us for the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Open. The Open is a worldwide test of fitness – one workout per week over five weeks performed at your affiliate. Last year there were 200,00 + from around the Globe who participated in this competition, from this pool the top 30 were selected from each Region to compete at Regionals, and from here the top 5 are selected to compete at the Reebok Crossfit Games in Carson, California. But those individuals are the tiniest percentage of those who actually participate in the Open – for the majority the Open is an exciting and challenging way to test your fitness and have some fun seeing where you stack up around the globe. There are options to participate in the RXD category or complete some workouts as Scaled. Have a look at the video below for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7K1sebe3g0
Participating in this event is 100% optional however it is a great way to see the CrossFit community on a wider scale and push yourself against others around the World. The Open runs from February 25th – March 28th – five workouts over five weeks. We will keep you posted on how we will run the Open WODs in 2016.
