For years, we've been avid spectators of the electrifying competition that is the CrossFit Games, reveling in the extraordinary displays of strength, endurance, and determination. Now, with the CrossFit Games making their way to Fort Worth this year, we've decided to shift from being mere onlookers to active participants. We're thrilled to announce that we are officially a host site for the CrossFit Open, offering a top-notch facility, certified judges, and unparalleled recovery services – all conveniently located closest to Dickies Arena. But here's the exciting part – our doors are open not just for seasoned competitors but for anyone ready to take on a challenge!
What is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Open, inaugurated in 2011, introduced the revolutionary concept of a worldwide online competition. Athletes from every corner of the globe could participate by completing workouts in their own cities, and submitting scores on the CrossFit Games website. This event operates on the Hopper model, testing fitness comprehensively and fairly.
The Open spans three weeks, with workouts released on Thursdays at noon Pacific Time, allowing participants until Monday at 5 p.m. PT to complete and submit their scores. At enduraLAB, we’ll host a Friday Night Lights workout each week as well as a Sunday Make-Up session for those looking to take another shot at the workout!
The worldwide CrossFit Games Leaderboard then showcases how participants stack up globally, within age groups, and across various divisions.
Diverse Divisions for Every Competitor:
The beauty of the CrossFit Open lies in its inclusivity, offering a range of divisions to suit various fitness levels. Whether you're a seasoned CrossFit veteran or a newcomer eager to embrace the challenge, there's a division for you:
- Rx'd: For those ready to tackle the workouts as written, this is the most challenging option.
- Age Groups: Nine divisions catering to teenage athletes (14-17) and masters athletes (35+), providing both Rx'd and scaled versions.
- Adaptive: Modified, equally challenging workouts for athletes with permanent impairments, including divisions like Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Seated With Hip Function, and Neuromuscular.
- Scaled: A perfect option if you're not quite ready for the Rx'd workouts, offering scaled versions with lighter loading.
- Foundations: Tailored for beginners or first-time Open participants, these workouts are an excellent starting point.
Who is the CrossFit Open for?
The answer is simple – everyone! The Open caters to athletes of all levels and serves various purposes. For many, it marks the culmination of their CrossFit Games season, for others, a standalone yearly challenge.
As the CrossFit Games bring their exhilarating energy to Fort Worth, we invite you to be part of the action at enduraLAB.
