The CrossFit Open stands as the first stage of the CrossFit Games season, a global online competition that welcomes all athletes regardless or age, skill level, or ability, just like CrossFit itself!!! It consists of 3 workouts over the course of 3 weeks. The workout comes out on a Thursday afternoon and the majority of athletes around the world complete the workouts in their gyms between Thursday and Monday evening! It is truly an amazing opportunity to test yourself, elevate these around you, and just witness people doing amazing things they maybe never thought possible before starting CrossFit!
