Welcome to the CrossFit Games Open!

The CrossFit Games Open is a six week, worldwide competition in the sport of fitness. The Open is the first step in the CrossFit Games season and takes place from March 15 until April 24. There is one workout per week for six weeks, and athletes compete to outperform the other competitors.

There are four categories of competitions happening simultaneously: Men, Women, Teams, and Masters. For more information, see Competition Rules.

The workouts are varied and no one knows what they will be from week to week until they're announced. The workout for the week is announced each Tuesday, and all competitors have until the following Sunday to perform the workout and enter their results online.

Each workout is explained thoroughly. There are specific variations for Men, Women, and the two oldest Masters divisions. There are video, text, and photos describing the structure of the workout along with the movement standards for each exercise within the workout. There is even a printable PDF that you can take to the gym with you.

Competing Online

There are two ways to compete in the Open:

Compete Anywhere

All you need is the correct equipment, a video camera, the internet, and a buddy with a stopwatch.

No matter who you are or where you live, the Compete Anywhere feature allows anyone in the world to participate in the Open. You simply submit your results online, along with a video of your performance. Learn more.

Compete at a Registered Affiliate

Your chosen registered affiliate supplies the equipment and validates your result.

CrossFit affiliates worldwide can register to host and validate workouts each week. Once the competition begins on March 15, there will be a list of registered affiliates that is constantly updated and easily searchable on the Games Open website.

At the chosen affiliate's gym, you will perform the workout in front of a judge, and then submit your results online. Then the affiliate will be notified to validate your result online. Scheduling, fees, and other requirements are at the discretion of the affiliate owner. You must comply with the registered affiliate's rules. Learn more.
