The CrossFit Open is an annual online fitness competition hosted by CrossFit HQ. Since it’s inception in 2011, the CrossFit Open has evolved, adding new elements, divisions, and sometimes changing its structure, but it has consistently served as the first step toward qualifying for the CrossFit Games.
The Open has become a staple event in the CrossFit community, celebrated for its ability to bring athletes from all over the world together in a shared challenge of fitness and determination. Currently, the Open is typically held over three weeks with workouts announced weekly and participants having several days to complete the workout and upload their results to a worldwide leaderboard.
Known for its inclusive nature, allowing athletes of all levels—from beginners to elite competitors—to participate, the Open features different categories for various age groups and skill levels, including scaled options for those who may not be able to perform the most challenging movements or weights. The top performers in the Open can qualify for further competitions, eventually leading to the CrossFit Games, where the fittest athletes compete for the title of “Fittest on Earth.” The event not only tests physical strength and endurance but also community spirit, as many gyms, much like CrossFit Amarillo, host “Friday Night Lights” events where members gather to complete the weekly challenge together.
CrossFit Amarillo invite our entire community, as well as friends and family of our community, to our weekly Friday Night Lights events on the following dates:
Friday, February 28
Friday, March 7
Friday, March 14
Sign ups for heats will be released once the workouts is announced on the Thursday prior to the corresponding event. The first heat will start at 6pm.
We look forward to celebrating all of your hard work, health, growth, and achievements together.
Let’s go!
