Why I Do The Open? Pt 1

Robyn S, early morning CompEx coach

To test myself physically and mentally as well as seeing others push themselves harder than they would in the normal circumstances of a class and the smile/feeling of accomplishment they show after they finish a Open WOD. I also love the nervousness, excitement and the “oh, shit” of the Open workouts and being able to share that with the Crossfit community. For me that is “FUN”! 🙂

Ron H, afternoon/evening coach

Many of us do CrossFit for the fitness family it fosters. There’s no other time where that’s better displayed than the Open.
I go into the Open looking to gauge how far I’ve come in my fitness journey. That might translate to wondering where I land on a leaderboard of hundreds of thousands, or how I stack up to that one person I’m always comparing my scores to.
What you don’t realize though, is that every rep along the way you’ll have an entire gym community of sweat & support. In the Open, more than any other time, our community comes together, it lifts you up, & it challenges you to reach the best version of fit you have to offer.
