On Monday, January 5 we will begin an 8 week block of programming focused on preparing for the CrossFit Open. The first CrossFit Open workout will be released February 26.
What is the Open? The CrossFit Open is a series of workouts spaced across three weeks where athletes from around the world and of all different fitness levels complete the workouts from the comfort of their own gym and submit their scores on the CrossFit Games website.

- Higher volume of movements that are commonly seen in the Open
- 1 – 2 days each week of focused gymnastics skill practice
- More barbell strength workouts with an emphasis on lifting under fatigue mid/post metcon
