The 2018 CrossFit Open is quickly approaching. It is the first step in a worldwide competition toward reaching the CrossFit Games and being crowned the “Fittest on Earth”. Each week beginning February 22nd, CrossFit HQ will release a workout online to be completed by the following Monday, for five consecutive weeks. Signing up for the Open is optional, but a fun way to test yourself. We’ll do the Open workouts every Friday in classes and as an option on Mondays.
Registration for the 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games Open is live! Sign up now to be a part of the five-week, five-workout online competition that unites CrossFit athletes all over the globe in the first stage of the season.
After you register go to your Competition Dashboard and join the CrossFit Synergistics team!
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to sign up in English, Portuguese and Español.
During the Opens our Friday schedule will change slightly. The 5:30am through noon classes will be regular class format and will run for the scheduled hour. Every athlete will be performing the Opens workout and have a judge scoring their workout regardless of whether they’re signed up for the Opens or not. These classes will be coached just like any other class. The evening classes will be a little different. The box will open at 4:00pm. When you arrive for the evening classes you will sign in with Zen on the kiosk computer just as you usually do for class and then sign in on a whiteboard for your heat time and assigned a judge. The last heat will go off no later than 6pm. You will also be asked to judge at least one workout. The evening classes will be more self-directed, meaning you will be expected to warm-up and prep the wod on your own. There will be a specific warm-up written on the white board and a warm-up area to prep in. There will be coaches going over the movements and the specific standards. Help and guidance will be available if needed. You are welcome to participate in the Friday evening heats whether you’re registered for the Opens or not.
If you are registered for the Opens please make your best effort to complete the competition WOD on Fridays. If you need to do the workout on another day or time you will need to find someone to judge you and ok it with a coach.
If you’d like to take the on-line CrossFit Judges course click here for more information. This course costs $10 and is a great way to get a clear understanding of the standards that need to be met with every movement. This course is not required.
If you’d like to come Friday evening and help judge or simply just cheer on the athletes everyone is welcome! Friends and family are welcome to come and cheer!
If you have any questions or would like to simply be a judge on Friday nights please email John at john@cfsyn.com. All help is greatly appreciated!
