Week 1 CrossFit Open 2020
7th – 13th October
First week of the CrossFit Open starting this Friday. Exciting times!!
If you want to play and haven’t registered yet, head over to https://games.crossfit.com/ to sign up.
Chat to your Hybrid Coach if you have questions about The Open, and decide if it’s right for you or not. Remember, it’s not for everyone and we understand that. The weekly programming will still be awesome, even if you’re not entering the Open. We want to look after all of our members, whatever your goals may be.
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday will be normal training days throughout these 5 weeks, with Thursday being an ‘active flush’ to get you ready for Friday. We will though be dedicating Friday’s to the Open workouts over the five weeks of competition. It will be the class WOD that day, but you also have up until the Monday evening to get it done (you’ll need to be judged by a certified judge) and submit your score online.
Have a great week and good luck in the Open if you’re taking part!
