CROSSFIT OPEN 2022

What makes CrossFit so beautiful is that everyone works out an affiliate box for different reasons. Perhaps it’s so you can be healthier for yourself and for your family. Maybe you enjoy being part of a community or you love working out alongside your friends.

THE FUN STARTS HERE.

Once a year, all the CrossFit affiliates across the globe come together for a single event. It’s called The CrossFit Open, and it’s a global celebration of all the reasons we love doing CrossFit. It’s a wildly popular international sporting event and attracted a record 415,000 athletes in 2018. 

The 2022 CrossFit Open begins February 24th 2022 and registration begins January 13th 2022.

Here’s how it works. The competition runs for three weeks, with a new workout released each Thursday. You must complete the workout and submit your performance by the following Monday, which is needed in case you advance to the next level. 

The Open is for everyone irrespective of age, gender, or ability. Each event will have an RXd, scaled, foundations, and equipment-free variation. There are divisions for teens, masters, and adaptive athletes. Truly, no one is left behind. 

You can tackle these workouts at your local affiliate, from home, at a park, or anywhere with a flat surface. 

All the workouts will have an equipment-free variation if you don’t have access to the required hardware. 

Here’s what you need if you plan to compete with the equipment variation:

  • Barbell and plates

  • Box

  • Pull-up bar

  • Dumbbell

  • Skipping Rope

Registration begins January 13th 2022. This is what you need to do:

  • Register for the Open by heading over to games.crossfit.com and fill out your athlete profile. If you are a CrossFit Barrie athlete, don’t forget to choose CrossFit Barrie as your affiliate.

  • Workout! Once the workouts are released starting February 24th, choose the RXd, scaled, or foundations variation of the workout. Perform the workout at your affiliate or in the comfort of your home.

  • Submission! Submit your scores via the same website you registered. Don’t forget to input which iteration of the workout you chose.

  • You can customize your profile and monitor the leaderboard through the CrossFit Games App.

    This year, we will also be ordering custom CrossFit Barrie Open 2022 shirts for athletes that would like to purchase one. You will also have the option to customize the back of the shirt - put your name, last name or nickname. The shirt will be unique to you. 

If you’re fired up about this Open this year, talk to your CrossFit Barrie Fitness Coach and let's make a game plan to achieve your goals this Open Season. 

I personally have enjoyed the Open for eight years and I believe it will bring out the best in everyone who competes. In past years, our athletes have posted some impressive results.

It shows me that no matter how hard a workout gets, I know I always push the limits!

Happy training and see you all on the leaderboard!
