Open prep week 1  

9^th September – 15^th September 

We hope you enjoyed ‘deload week’! There were some fun workouts last week, and plenty of opportunity to work on your skills. It was also Test Week for the Endurance class with some epic scores being put up. Great job team! 

Here is the first week of our lead up to the CrossFit Open starting on October 10^th. 

There will be a focus around the Open, but also still keeping in mind the members who won’t be interested in signing up and come to us for overall health and fitness. 

We will dedicate Friday’s to an ‘Open-style’ workout (the day we’ll host the Open WOD’s over the 5 weeks), and Thursday will become a ‘pre-game day flush’. The flush will be a longer, sweaty workout which will allow you to stay fresh for the Open workout the next day, and also challenge the members who aren’t entered and just want a good session. This will begin now and continue through the 5 weeks of the Open. 

We’ll also be rotating the strength section of the class and won’t be dedicating a day for each movement. E.g. Friday was always Snatch, now it could be any day of the week. This will expose more people to the movements and build on what we’ve already learnt. After the Open, we’ll go back to having a dedicated day for each strength piece. 

Have a good week, and enjoy your fitness! ?
