***CrossFit Open Registration time***
Hi Creatures,
The CrossFit Open is less than a month away now.
For those who have done the Open before, you're well aware how awesome it is. It's a chance for us all to come together as a Creature community, to support our mates in the gym, and to celebrate a year of hard work and #gainz.
For those who haven't done The Open before. It is a worldwide competition in which athletes take part in a workout every week for 5 weeks. You submit your scores online and get to see how you stack up with other athletes in the gym and across the world. Your scores will remain online until next year so when we come around to the Open in 2018, you will be able to see how much you've improved over 12 months.
There is also a 'scaled' division of the Open, which means no matter how new you are to CrossFit, there is an appropriate workout for you to take part in.
If you haven't read Lachlan's article, in which he talks about why everyone should sign up for The Open, I highly recommend it.
https://www.crossfitcreature.com/…/05f6zj1bohbcfdzbt5bnfgsp…
While we haven't confirmed exact time slots for the 3 locations yet, we always invite everyone to Creature Marrickville on Saturday morning and have a massive Throwdown, where you will complete the Open workout with judges, support from your mates, and a playlist of my favourite Trance and Hip Hop tunes ;)
If you can't make it to a Creature gym one week, you can still complete the Open workout at another CrossFit gym. Or if you can't do that, you just won't submit a score for that week and you can still take part in the other workouts.
How to sign up:
Head to..
..and hit the red 'register' button. It costs $20 to register for the
Open. The fun and growth you will experience will be totally worth it.
If you train the majority of the time at Marrickville, please join the Affiliate "CrossFit Creature", If you train the majority of the time at Edgecliff please join the affiliate "CrossFit Creature Edgecliff", and if you train the majority of time at Bondi please join the affiliate "CrossFit Bare".
Feel free to get in touch with me or one of your coaches if you have any questions.
Looking forward to an epic 5 weeks.
