What is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Open is a worldwide event, run by CrossFit HQ each year. Athletes from all around the world get the chance to see how they match up against each other by completing a range of workouts.
In 2021, workouts will be released across 3 weeks, with new divisions introduced to give accessibility to all.
Who competes in the open?
Competitors will come from a range of different decisions and fitness levels. Including, Open men and women, masters, teens, plus eight new adaptive divisions for men and women will be included in the 2021 Open: Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Neuromuscular, Vision, Short Stature, Seated Athletes (with hip function), Seated Athletes (without hip function), and Intellectual.
The Open is the largest online sporting event and is the first stage for athletes to qualify to go to the CrossFit Games.
How does competing in the open benefit you?
Every year everyday people just like yourself, do magical things during the Open. You will do things that you had never thought possible. We have seen many first pull-ups, pistol squats, PRs on weightlifting and much more.
Do it with your community.
Not only is the Open about pushing yourself to your limits, it also encourages the community to rally together and support one another. The atmosphere is electric.
The Open is a global celebration of all the individual reasons we do CrossFit.
Maybe it’s to live healthier lives. Maybe it’s to lift your kids or stay healthy for your family. Maybe it’s just to prove we can do more than we ever believed possible. Whatever it is, this is the time to show the world your unique why.
How does it work?
For only $20 AUD, you can register to participate via the online portal. Over 3 weeks during March, 11-29th, you will complete each of the workouts released by CrossFit HQ and submit your score online.
Workouts can be completed at your gym, or submitted via video. Each athlete will have a go at being judged and judging someone else.
It doesn’t matter if you’re 14, 40, or 64. Just starting out or a muscle-up pro. And adaptive athletes are here to win. Compare your results by division, location, gym, or group.
Dropping in from out of town? No worries. Let your holiday gym know ahead of time so you can participate when they are running the open, or organise to have a judge for you. Make sure that you offer to judge someone else.
