Why is doing the Open so important? What’s the hype?
A few main reasons:
Fun and Competitive Community/Affiliate Event – gives you a chance to meet new people, build relationships at your affiliate, and a boost of motivation for the Open month
Personal Data – gives you an idea of where you’re at year to year, and compared to others in your demographic
A chance to win prizes!
Why should I register and pay the $20 when I’m not going to qualify for the CrossFit Games?
You certainly can just do the workouts and not register, but the point of competitions is to:
Compete and see where you stack up.
Track your progress throughout your own fitness journey.
If a workout is repeated, see if you improved your overall fitness a year later.
If I don’t sign up can I still workout?
Yes absolutely! And we would still like you to have a buddy so you can have someone to workout with and motivate you!
I did the Open once already, why should I do it again?
Open workouts are constantly varied so no two years are exactly the same.
To allow athletes an opportunity to re-test a previous workout,
CrossFit brings back one from previous years to see if you’ve improved.
Plus, this could be the year you get your first bar muscle-up!
I hear there are multiple scaling options for each workout, what is the difference between RX, scaled, etc?
There are multiple scaling options for each week’s workout. You do not have to choose your skill level until you perform each workout, and you can mix and match from one week to the next.
Here’s a brief overview of what to expect from each option:
Rx’d: Do the workouts as written. This is the most challenging option. Rx scores are ranked above Scaled, Foundations, and Equipment-Free scores on the worldwide leaderboard.
Scaled: Not quite ready to tackle the workouts as written, or don’t have one of the movements down? No problem. The scaled division offers classic scaling options for many of CrossFit’s common gymnastics movements and includes lighter loading.
Foundations: If you just started CrossFit, or are still unfamiliar with many of the movements, the Foundations workouts are a great place to start. You will still get a great workout, and be able to challenge yourself alongside the rest of the community.
What do the workout names mean (example: 24.2)?
24 refers to the year (2024) and the number after the decimal point refers to the number of the workout. So 24.1 is the first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Open, 24.2 the second, and so on.
I’m new. I still don’t have pull ups but I’m strong otherwise. What division should I sign up for?
You do not have to select your skill level at the time of registration. You will decide which version of that week’s workout to perform at the time you do it, and you are able to mix and match between Rx, scaled, and foundations from week to week.
Our best advice is to wait and see the workout each week and consult with your coach if you’re unsure.
I can’t attend all of the Saturday workouts, should I still sign up?
YES! We have available make up times for that specific reason!
We would love everyone to sign up and participate this year. Everyone has been doing awesome and we want you to prove to yourself how well you can do!
