The 2022 CrossFit9 Intramural Open season kicks off on February 25! This is your guide on how to participate.
What the heck is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Open is a 3-week fitness extravaganza! Anyone can participate in a weekly workout and get scored against hundreds of thousands of other CrossFitters in the world.
For elite athletes, it's the first step towards qualifying for the CrossFit Games. For 99.1% of athletes in a CrossFit affiliate, it's just a really fun time to measure our fitness and come together as a community. That's why, here at CrossFit9, we have our own Intramural CrossFit Open...
What is the CrossFit9 Intramural Open?
At CrossFit9, we prefer an intramural-style open, with an emphasis on fun, charity, and community quality time.
Changes to Workout Announcements
CrossFit HQ has changed the format and timing of workout announcements. We will no longer have live streams at the gym, but you can watch them at games.crossfit.com!
Friday Night Fight
Open WODs are to be done during our weekly Friday Night Fight, kicking off at 6:00 PM every Friday, Feb. 25 – March 11. This is "game day," so show up ready to have a good time and cheer others on. All of our athletes will warm up and do their workout in heats, trading judging responsibilities as we go.
Oh yeah, did we mention it's a costume party, too?
