The enduraLAB Open: Three Weeks. One Community.

By January 16, 2026January 20th, 2026No Comments

The enduraLAB Open is back and this year, it’s built around one simple idea:

Showing up matters.

Not just how much you lift.
Not just where you place.
But how you contribute to your team and the community.

If you’ve ever thought “The Open isn’t for me,” keep reading—because this format was designed specifically to change that.

Count me in!

What Is the enduraLAB Open?

The enduraLAB Open is a 3-week, in-house team competition that runs alongside the CrossFit Open season. Athletes are drafted onto teams, compete across three weeks, and earn points for their team through a mix of:

  • Participation
  • Performance
  • Spirit
  • Community involvement

Teams First, Always

Athletes will be placed on teams of 5–6 members, led by member captains selected by coaches. Coaches can also be drafted onto teams, which keeps things competitive, balanced, and fun.

Smaller teams mean:

  • More accountability
  • More involvement
  • Every person matters

You don’t disappear into a crowd here, your effort counts.

The Scoring System: Built for Everyone

Here’s where this Open is different.

You can help your team without ever winning a workout.

How You Earn Points Each Week

✔ Did the workout – 1 point
 Just showing up and completing the workout matters.

✔ Came to Open Night – 3 points
 Bring the energy, cheer for your team, be part of the event.

✔ Judged a teammate – 3 points
 Supporting others is just as important as competing.

✔ Dressed to your team’s theme – 3 points
 Yes—costumes, jerseys, memes, and creativity are encouraged.

✔ Placed Top 5 in your division – 2 points
 Performance still matters, but it’s not the only thing.

✔ Won your division – 3 points
 Top finishes earn bonus points—but they won’t dominate the leaderboard.

Why This Matters

This structure rewards:

  • Consistency over perfection
  • Participation over intimidation
  • Community over ego

RX athletes, scaled athletes, and newer members all contribute meaningfully. No one sits on the sidelines feeling like they don’t belong.

Divisions & Fair Play

Athletes choose their division:

  • RX
  • Scaled
  • Foundations

Once chosen, you stay in that division for the duration of the Open. This keeps competition fair and scoring clean, while still letting athletes choose the level that fits them best.

Spirit, Themes & Team Identity

Each week, teams choose their own theme.

That could mean:

  • Jerseys
  • Movie or TV characters
  • Monochromatic outfits
  • Memes
  • Anything creative your team comes up with

Teams can repeat themes, coordinate together, or keep it simple. Spirit points are earned by participation, not perfection.

The goal? Make Open nights something people look forward to.

Flexible Scheduling for Real Life

Workouts are released Thursday night and can be completed anytime through Monday at 7 PM.

That means:

  • You don’t have to attend Open Night to participate
  • You can fit workouts around work, family, and life
  • Open Night is about energy, not pressure

Prizes That Match the Effort

Winning teams earn prizes like:

  • enduraLAB store credit
  • Supplements
  • Recovery sessions

The prize pool scales with registration, so the more people who sign up, the better it gets.

But the real win? Three weeks of shared effort, support, and momentum.

Key Dates to Know

The enduraLAB Open isn’t about being the fittest person in the room.

It’s about being part of the room.

If you show up, support your team, and lean into the experience, you’re already winning.
