Crossfit Open is approaching

The Crossfit Open is where everything begins. It is the world event that gives the starting gun to the crossfit season where athletes from around the world compete in the same Wods to see who is the most in everyone. 

Crossfit Open is not only intended for any athlete who wants to compete professionally in this sport. There is no doubt that it is a great first step for those who dream of reaching the Crossfit Games, but in its essence it is an event for the entire crossfitera community.

First... What is the Crossfit Open?

For those who are new in this madness and you are not very clear about the theme, the Open is the beginning of the crossfit season. For elite athletes around the world, it is the first step to reach the crossfit games that will be held this August in Madison, USA. For everyone else ... it is a fun way to celebrate with the community, see what you are able to do, get out of your comfort zone and especially have fun with your boxmates while part of an event worldwide.

For three weeks, Crossfit HQ will publish a training every Thursday night. Costilleo... the publication of the first WOD of the Open, on 23.1, will be made live and for the whole world from Madrid!

The 4 days following the publication of the WOD, athletes from all over the world who have registered to the Open will have to carry out the training under the watchful eye of a judge and register their online scores. Each Workout It will be available in several versions, you choose which one you want to do, according to your age or physical condition.

Okay... But why should I register at the Open?

Here are some reasons to convince yourself that you notice, but please ask your coach if you have any other questions!

Reason 1: Exit your comfort zone

Every year, Open training makes the adrenaline of crossfiteros reach their highest levels. The Open is undoubtedly a way to overcome your limits and see what you are capable. They are training that you will remember in the future, and training that you can repeat year after year to see your progress (except the 19.1 Wallball and Remo amrap ... I think no one will want to do it for fun).

Emotions are as strong that many athletes got their first dominate, their first RMU, a new RM, or they have simply realized that thrusters are not as bad as they seem (of these there will be few ...).

Reason 2: You can be part of an event worldwide while supporting your local community

Crossfit Open is a great world event. It is very exciting to be part of him even if you do not expect to reach the next stop on the road to the Crossfit Games. It doesn't matter that live city or country, if there is a crossfit box you can be sure that everyone will talk about the same and share their stories. Anyone who practices Crossfit will tell you how incredible this community is. Open can really be an experience that changes your life. If you plan to operate in your box, people will encourage you more than ever with each repetition you do. You can know your classmates athletes, encourage them, help them overcome each training, and above all, create friendships that will endure up to box.

Reason 3: Everyone can participate

Everyone can participate in the Open. It doesn't matter your age or fitness level. There are options for all levels. It doesn't matter if you just started training crossfit or if you have been training for years, the Open is designed for all athletes. At the end of the WOD, you will feel an incredible sense of overcoming.

Reason 4: It gives you a different vision of this sport

During the Open, you will have a unique opportunity to do exactly the same training as the most in the shape of the planet. And although it is a humility lesson to compare scores, it is also incredible to see what the best can do. But be careful ... this will make you an unconditional fan of Crossfit.

Reason 5: It's fun

This is the main reason to do the Open. Crossfit Open is a unique experience where you guarantee to have a good time. Competing in the Open is not the same as finishing your usual training, there is a whole environment of fun community around you, in which you feel the support of your classmates, compete with and against them and you feel even more proud of your efforts from your efforts what you would normally feel.

The Open pushes you, it makes you nervous just before the countdown reaches 0, someone tells your repetitions, you feel important, you get a score, you have a reference point for next year, you laugh. You see how much you have improved and see how much others have improved ...

Do you know that feeling of overcoming that feels when you put a very hard Wod? Imagine it, but much more intense. In a nutshell, signing up to Open is an experience that is worth it.
