It has returned!!! The Open is back and we are READY! For those of you who aren’t familiar with The Open, or are brand new to CrossFit, “The 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games season kicks off with the CrossFit Open, a three-week international competition where anyone — regardless of fitness level or ability — can compete in the biggest fitness competition in history.
Join hundreds of thousands of participants for the Open which begins on February 16th.” Read this article for more info and why the open is for YOU.
The beauty of the Open is that independent of fitness level, it brings us together to pursue something that would not hold the same meaning or possibilities if we were just working out on our own. Whether you came to CrossFit to improve your health or pursue competitive aspirations, we all ended up getting a second family — our CrossFit family. The camaraderie and support in this sport is unparalleled.
