Gym News…
And so it begins… Every Saturday for the next five weeks, we’ll be taking part in a global competition called “The CrossFit Open”. These workouts will be happening in Saturday classes at 8:30am, 9:30am, and 12:00pm
If you are officially registered for the Open, you will need to be judged for your workout to submit your score on the games.crossfit.com site. If you do not get judged you won’t be able to post a score.
There are RX’d and Scaled options for everyone to be able to participate in the open so even if you don’t sign up, you’ll still get a taste of it if you show up Saturday’s 🙂
