What you need to know and why you should do it.
The Open, for 99% of CrossFitters is the highlight of the year. At Reebok CrossFit FirePower we put a lot of emphasis on participation in the Open and you should to.
We need to get away from calling the Open a “competition”. The Open is an annual test of an individual’s fitness and that’s it. If you happen to be fitter than the majority of the people in your region you get to move on to the next stage, simple as that.
There will be a total of 5 weeks of The Open (5 workouts) and each week CrossFit HQ will release a new workout to be completed every ANYBODY can do it! The Open brings out the best athlete in all of us and it brings out the best of our community!
Here’s how it works.
Step 1:
Continue working out as often as you do. Our programming is designed to prepare you for the movements that you are going to see in the Open.
Step 2:
CrossFitters worldwide can go to games.crossfit.com, make a profile and sign up for $20. While signing up, be sure to notify that you are a member of Reebok CrossFit FirePower when you sign up! By signing up, you will be ranked worldwide in your age group and region over the 5 weeks.
Deadline to Sign Up is February 26th, 2017 before the 1st workout is to be submitted.
Step 3:
Do It!!
The first workout will be released on Thursday Feb 23rd. You will have the duration of the weekend and up until Monday February 27th at 8pm to complete the workout either as prescribed or scaled and submit your score online.
So… You CAN do it. You ARE good enough. It isn’t going to be TOO hard. You WILL surprise yourself and others. This is a great opportunity as always to grow the FirePower community and show everybody what we are made of. All that’s left is to Sign Up!
