WHAT IS THE MOV.E OPEN?
We have been running a ‘version’ of the CrossFit Worldwide Open since starting operations back in 2012. For what will be the 4th consecutive year of the MOV.E OPEN, participants are divided into two teams (RISE & GRIND and AFTER WOD DRINKS), where each week they will have the opportunity to earn points through both a FITNESS TEST and non-fitness challenges. The team with the most points accumulated at the end of the 3 WEEK period, earns bragging rights for the year ahead, along with celebratory apparel.
Can Team RISE & GRIND make it 4 in a row?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
THE WEEKLY FITNESS TEST
Starting Friday 1st March at 7AM (local time) and for the following 2 Fridays, the weekly FITNESS TEST will be announced on games.crossfit.com. The test will be demonstrated by some of the fittest individuals in the world.
For us mere mortals (health & fitness enthusiasts), the test will be programmed on the MONDAY that follows the announcement- for ALL CLASSES. For the SUPER-KEEN Open Die Hards, yes you can complete it early in a Class/ Open Gym on Friday or Saturday (but remember, you need to organise someone to judge you).
What if there are movements/ weights I can not do?
At the end of the day, these ‘TESTS‘ are just regular workouts, and just like in class, we will provide you with MODIFICATION OPTIONS to ensure you are not just getting a good workout in, but pushing you to get a little outside your comfort zone. You know how we have been doing a number of BENCHMARK workouts over the past couple of months? Treat these ‘tests’ the same.
NON-FTINESS CHALLENGES
CROSSFIT BRAIN TEASERS
If you didn’t know, we started our operations as a CrossFit Affiliate, and whilst we have not been an affiliate for going on six years, many of our health & fitness beliefs stem from our foundations in the CrossFit Methodology. As such, each week, teams will be tested with CrossFit-related brain teasers delivered via email. Correct answers will earn points for your allocated team.
SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING
Participants are encouraged to take photos/ videos and share them on social media (Instagram/ facebook) to celebrate your commitment to health & fitness and the achievements that follow.
HOT TIP: Your team’s ability to share content to Social Media during the Open Tests often dictates who the Winning Team will be 😉.
