The Intramural Open is a three-week, team-based event held inside our gym where members compete, earn points, and represent their team across three Friday workouts.
We designed this competition to bring our entire community together, bring energy to your workouts, and give everyone something to look forward to each week, regardless of fitness level or experience.
Why We Do The Intramural Open
The purpose of the Intramural Open is to bring all members of our gym together.
Over three weeks, members are placed onto teams and work together to earn points. Some points come from performance, but most come from simply showing up, participating, and completing challenges.
A brand-new member who shows up every Friday can contribute just as much to their team as a veteran athlete.
This gives way to some of the most fun training nights of the year.
How the Event Works
Step 1: Tell your coach you’re in!
Let a coach know you want to participate. Every member is encouraged to join, regardless of experience or fitness level.
Step 2: Register

Step 3: Draft Day
Once registration closes, teams will be formed. Captains will draft members onto teams, and rosters will be announced before the first Friday.

Each Friday, you will show up, complete the workout of the day, and earn points for your team.
The Workout of the Day will be based on the 2026 CrossFit Open.

If you can make it on Fridays, you can participate.
Tell a coach you’re in, register, get drafted, and represent your team.
