The 2018 CrossFit Open is quickly approaching and at CrossFit StoneCutter we are going to have a lot of good times working out and celebrating.
It is the first step in a worldwide competition toward reaching the CrossFit Games and being crowned the “Fittest on Earth”. More importantly though, it is a time for our gym to come together have a lot of fun over a few weeks, get to know one another, and make some lasting relationships.
The Open is an all-inclusive online competition. Anyone 14 and up can sign up, and the Open even welcomes athletes who are 70 and older. For five weeks beginning Feb 22nd, CrossFit announces one workout each Thursday. Athletes have five days (Thursday-Monday) to complete the workout and submit their scores in order to be ranked on the official CrossFit Games Leaderboard.
If you want to read more about it, you can find all the information you need about the 2018 Open here.
Signing up for the Open is optional, but a fun way to test yourself. We’ll do the Open workouts every Friday in classes and Friday evening during our weekly “Friday Night Lights” event. For those who cannot attend Friday, there will be makeup hours on Saturday and Monday.
This year we’ve decided to do a Friday Night Lights celebration every week after the last Open Heat on Friday Night. We’ll have a bar-b-q, pizza, beer, and a pot luck style get together every week. You won’t want to miss a chance to cheer your lungs out and make fun of Coach Josh as he slobbers all over himself in the last heat on Friday!
Even if you aren’t participating in the Open come join us to work out, have fun, and get some community and fun time in.
