The Open!!!

It’s almost that time again!!! The open is right around the corner. For the folks that have been doing CrossFit for a while now, you already know what the open is and should be super excited!!!

But, for those who are new to the gym and new to CrossFit in general. The open is the first step to making it to the CrossFit Games, but that's just part of the story. The open is an online competition. Each week for 5 weeks starting February 23 they announce a workout. The workouts are announced Thursday at 5pm and you have until Monday to do the workout and submit your score on the website. Each week you can view how you did compared to people around the world, United States, Oregon or even just your age group. It’s awesome to see where you stack up against other people and fun just to have a little friendly competition in our gym.

Every Friday during the Open the workout of the day at CrossFit Train will be the Open workout. During the morning classes you can come in as normal and do the WOD with athletes judging each other in class. Friday afternoons from around 3:30pm to around 7pm will be Friday Night Lights!!!! Everybody is welcome to come watch and workout as we all throw down that weeks Open workout! Friday Night Lights is a blast, each week we will have a theme and each week we will have a raffle for some awesome prizes. We will let you know more of the details as the Open approaches!

The Open is also great because it will push you even harder in workouts and help you accomplish goals that you never thought you could reach. The Open is about challenging yourself and seeing what you are capable of.

So don’t be scared or nervous to sign up. Trust me its worth and you won’t be able to wait until next year’s Open to come!
