“What is the CrossFit Open?”

Blue Eagle Teams 2024

The CrossFit Open is a celebration of your fitness journey. We have three teams evenly divided. The best way to earn points is to show up and do the workout! It would be even better to bring a friend to watch how awesome you are. :)

Every week, we will award extra points for dressing up for the theme. The theme for the first workout, which will be Saturday, March 2, at 9 AM, is “COLORS.” Dress in your team’s colors!

“What is the Open?”

The 2024 CrossFit Games season starts with the Open — the first qualifying stage. Any athlete who wants to compete at the CrossFit Games must start with the Open. 

But it’s much more than that. 

Anyone, regardless of fitness level, is invited to join the largest participatory sporting event on Earth, where all members of the CrossFit community will have an opportunity to participate in the competition season.

Participants will complete three workouts across three weeks at their affiliates or home gyms. The workouts are released on the CrossFit Games website on Thursdays at 12 p.m. (noon) Pacific Time, and you have until Monday at 5 p.m. PT to do the workout and submit your score online. At the end of each week, you can see where you stack up by affiliate, age, or worldwide by viewing the CrossFit Games Leaderboard.

“Why should I care?”

The Open brings the CrossFit community together to pursue something that would not hold the same meaning or possibilities if we were just working out on our own. It’s the time of year when we see many people achieve significant firsts: PR snatches, thrusters, muscle-ups, toes-to-bars, handstand push-ups, and double-unders, as a few examples. The Open will provide you with interesting data on your performance in the gym, which can guide you when setting goals for the following year.

So, if you’re not in it to win it, the Open is a way to check in on your fitness, hold yourself accountable, stay motivated for the upcoming year, accomplish personal goals, and celebrate with the community.
