What is the” I am CrossFit – CrossFit Games “The Open” Challenge”?

CrossFit games came to life many years ago – but the fever has run rampant in the past year as the games have been aired on ESPN 2 and with CrossFit headquarters signing an exclusive contract with Reebok it’s spreading like wildfire. We are excited to announce The I Am CrossFit – CrossFit Games “The Open” Challenge. The I Am CrossFit – CrossFit Games “The Open” Challenge is designed to prep you for the on-line open and to help you grow in CrossFit as the open is being offered . We will hold you accountable in your fitness AND nutrition as you prepare to compete against the rest of the CrossFit world. We want you to see success at all levels of fitness.

This 7 week challenge will focus on getting each of you through the on-line open, here is how the open works. (The following was taken from CrossFit Games)

The Open (February 22 - March 25)

The Open is a worldwide competition consisting of five workouts over five weeks. Last year, more than 26,000 athletes competed, and this year will likely be a multiple of that!

Each week, the workout will be announced on Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT (starting February 22). Everyone will have until the following Sunday at 5 p.m. PT to complete that week's workout and submit their score. You can do the workout at your local affiliate or film your attempt from any gym, a garage, or park.

Once you submit your workouts to the Games site, you'll be able to find your rank, both worldwide and in your region. You get one point for each place (i.e. five points for 5th place) for each workout. Your overall score is the sum of all the workout scores, and lowest total points wins. You can compete both as an Individual and on a Team. Individuals are divided between men and women, and Masters are divided by gender and age.

The individual athletes and teams that perform the best across the five Open workouts, in each of the 17 regions, will be invited to compete at the second stage of the Games, the Regionals. The top 20 Masters in each age and gender category will earn an automatic spot at the Games in July.

This is your opportunity to see how YOU stack up against CrossFit athletes worldwide. Deep down each of you want the opportunity to be the best possible athlete, and this is your time to show your stuff. You will be required to register in the on-line open and to log your open workout each week as they are performed. Each workout will be performed and JUDGED in order to compete in the open.

This is the chance to take the awesome job you are already doing and take it to that very next level. The I Am CrossFit – CrossFit Games “The Open” Challenge is open to Men and Women and scaled to ALL levels of fitness. You don’t HAVE to meet the RX standards of athletes that is set in order to compete in our challenge and in the open challenge. It doesn't matter what your current physical condition is or whether or not you're knowledgeable in health and fitness - This program can meet you where you're at physically.
