The Open is Coming
The CrossFit Open is an opportunity for all athletes to compete in a series of workouts. If you are interested in competing in the Open through CrossFit you must sign-up online. CFFP will also hold an in-house open. The CFFP Open will also require a simple sign up for participation through Tony. All Open workouts will be completed during class times on Friday’s. More details below:
IN HOUSE OPEN COMP
Friday = Open WOD Day: Each Friday, the Open WOD becomes our class workout of the day.
Submission Deadlines: You've got until the following Monday, 8 PM, to submit your WOD scores.
Can't Make It Friday? No worries! If you're traveling or have other commitments, simply connect with a coach. We've got backup options for Saturday and Monday, or you can drop into another gym while you're away.
The Intramural Twist: We're spicing things up by dividing participants into small teams. It's not just about individual glory; your team will rack up points over three weeks through various challenges.
How Points Work:
3 Points for completing the Open workout in Friday's class.
3 Points for sporting your team colors during the workout.
3 Points for engaging in our "Minute to Win It" Thursday challenge (1 point for joining, 3 for conquering the challenge).
