Why haven’t you signed up for the Open?

Sonja L. at a competition last summer.

As of today, only 37 of MBS’ estimated 250 active members have signed up for the Reebok CrossFit open.  Allow us to take away your excuses…

You: It’s too expensive.
Us: It’s $20 for FIVE weeks of competition, entertainment, and seeing how you rank against others in your age group, region and world wide.

You: I can’t do all movements prescribed.
Us: As with all CrossFit WODs scaling will be allowed.

You: I will be out of town for one of the 5 weeks.
Us: You can perform an open WOD at any affiliate.  Simply make contact with the gym you will attend and make sure they will be able host you and officially verify your scores. Or, you can videotape your workout and send it in.

You: I’m scared. I’ve never participated in any competition.
Us: The Reebok CrossFit Open is open to athletes of all abilities.  Participating will give you a glimpse into the thrill of competition.  You will push yourself.  You will work hard.  You will have fun.

You: I don’t know anything about it.
Us: Sign up here. Open WODs at MBS will be facilitated Thursdays and Saturdays. Your workouts will judged. Your judge ensures correct movement and will keep tally of your score.  After your workout you will log into the Games website and enter your score.  MBS will validate your score.  All this happens the same way for all 5 weeks.

We encourage everyone to participate!  If you have questions, see any of the coaches at MBS.
