The Crossfit Open

The 2017 Crossfit Games Open is just around the corner! The worldwide competition begins on February 23, and is noted as the world's premier test of fitness. Since 2011, this online competition has accurately ranked the fitness of hundreds of thousands of competitors, from beginners to professionals. For five weeks any and every athlete in the world has the opportunity to compete in 5 workout determine who makes it to Regionals, and ultimately the CrossFit Games- where the best of the best will throw down on the big stage.

Should you participate? Abso-fucking-lutely! The Open is a great experience for so many reasons.

  • It calls out the best in yourself no matter your current level. Most likely you are physically stronger than your mind lets you believe. The Open is a chance for you to see how much progress you’ve made all year long.. or in a short few weeks or months.

  • It gets you competing again, or maybe becomes your first competition!

  • It gives you an appreciation for the best. During the Open, you get a rare opportunity to do the same exact workouts as the best CrossFitters in the world.

  • ITS FUN! The Open is a great opportunity for us to celebrate the amazing Train community. If you haven’t been to a Friday Night Lights event at Train, you most definitely need to make sure you attend one this year.

Why do some people not do the Open?

  • Most people are concerned with the unknown or not being able to do a certain weight or movement that might come up. The good news is that the Open has a scaled division that allows everyone to participate! The idea is to make the Open as inclusive as possible so anyone can take part.

  • Cost. If you can spend $5 on a mocha, you can spend $20 on an unforgettable experience. Reebok even teamed up with Crossfit this year, and is waiving the registration fee for anyone that purchases a pair of Nano 7.0s!

Bottom Line. Every year the Open rolls around we see someone do something they didn’t think was possible – perhaps it’s a PR with a barbell, or their first Rx gymnastic movement– the list goes on. Ultimately, what its all about is people setting their mind to do something and going out and achieving it. Every year we walk away from the Open feeling inspired and more motivated than ever, ready to set goals for the upcoming year. Sign Up. You will not regret it!
