The CrossFit Open is a global, annual celebration of fitness as athletes in gyms around the world compete 3 weekends in a row! While the Open is what feeds into quarterfinals and ultimately culminates in the CrossFit Games and the crowning of the Fittest on Earth, it's actually a
super chill, friendly, and fun community event here at Allegro as we test our fitness together. Our goal is for every single member to participate!
Here's how it works.
- It's FREE to participate at our gym, and you're also invited to join the global leaderboard by signing up at games.crossfit.com (this costs $20). Your decisions to participate in-house and/or globally are independent of each other.
- CF HQ releases workouts 3 Thursdays in a row, and we'll complete them on 3 Fridays: Feb. 27, Mar. 6, and Mar. 13! Each participant will have another member judge to help enforce standards, count reps, and log scores. (Can't make it on Friday? We can arrange make-ups. Will you miss one or two weeks? Join anyway for what you can!)
- We'll create 3 intramural teams, led by coaches Grace, Emily, and Anna. We'll have a scoring system - primarily based on participation and spirit - for some friendly competition and team camaraderie. Points will be awarded for things like logging a workout score and dressing on-theme at Friday Night Lights (more on those below).
- Each Friday, we'll have our usual classes at 5:30am, 6:30am, 9am, and noon, during which you can do the Open workout and log your score. However, the evening will be different, featuring "Friday Night Lights" (FNL)!
- What is FNL? We'll gather together (time TBA) to run heats until everyone is done. It's a fantastic atmosphere to work out in, but it's also a party. So, come in the evening to do the workout during the party, or to spectate, judge athletes, and be part of the cheer squad!
- Each FNL will begin with a "Throwdown" heat featuring one athlete from each of the 3 teams. It'll be an awesome chance to cheer on your teammate and kick off the evening strong. (Don't worry - we'll only do this with people who volunteer for it below!)
- Each Friday will have a theme, and will have one of the 3 teams provide some light refreshments.
- One theme will be Allegro Spirit, which means wearing Allegro green OR Allegro merch. Yes, this means MERCH IS COMING! We'll have a merch order in time for the Open so you can get your very first Allegro gear. Or, start scouring your closet for some Allegro green to join in the fun.
