The Open FAQ:

What is The Open?

The CrossFit Open is the world’s largest participatory sporting event. It is the first stage of the CrossFit Games season when hundreds of thousands of athletes come together to complete a series of workouts over a three-week period.

Some do the Open to advance to the later stages of competition that eventually culminate in the CrossFit Games where the Fittest on Earth are crowned. But the majority of Open participants do it for other reasons — to challenge themselves, to test their fitness, or to bond with their affiliate community.

The Open workouts are accessible to everyone from the elite to the absolute beginner.

Why should I do The Open?

As a core part of the CrossFit methodology, data tracking allows us to see our improvements and know what areas to work on.

When you complete all three Open workouts, you’ll be placed on a worldwide leaderboard, allowing you to see where you rank against hundreds of thousands of other CrossFit athletes.

You can also customize your leaderboard with hashtags to see where you rank against others who share your lifestyle, profession, age, location, and more.

We are going to have more stories and details about The Open in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, get registered and ask questions in class. If there’s one thing people like to talk about it’s CrossFit!
