Perpetua CrossFit Open

Hey CrossFit Community, we're on the cusp of the CrossFit Perpetua Open, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on everything you need to know about this exciting event.  

 
What Exactly Is the CrossFit Open?  

For those new to the term, the CrossFit Open is essentially a three-week-long celebration of fitness that takes place worldwide in participating gyms. And guess what? Our own Perpetua gym is one of those fitness havens. Each Friday during the Open, we'll roll out one unique workout - culminating in a total of three workouts that are designed to challenge and invigorate you.  

But here's the kicker - it's not just a workout. It's a fun, spirited competition where individuals across the globe are doing the exact same exercises you are. It's collective determination at its best.  

 
Key Dates To Remember  

Friday, February 27th  

Friday, March 6th  

Friday, March 13th (Plus, a big party afterward!)  

Mark your calendars for these dates. On each of these Fridays, heats will run from 5 PM to 7 PM.  

Keep your eyes peeled for March 13th, because that's when we throw a fitness fiesta to celebrate your hard work - complete with a DJ and some serious party vibes.  

 
Booking Your Spot  

Interested in knowing how this all goes down? The workouts are unveiled on Thursday nights. After the unveiling, I'll set up the heat timeslots on the Perpetua app by Friday morning, about 10 AM. We ensure there's enough time for each heat, so if our workout is 20 minutes, we'll have 25-minute slots you can sign up for.  

 
Who Can Join the Open?  

If you can attend classes at Perpetua, you can definitely take part in the Open. Seriously, it's tailored for all levels, including those who've never done CrossFit before. There will be scaled options available to ensure everyone can participate and push their boundaries.  

 
Sign Up Process  

Signing up is a breeze:  

Write down your name on the board at Perpetua, and I'll get you registered on the app.  

Alternatively, shoot me an email at [email protected], and I'll handle the rest.  

A fee of €30 nets you all three workouts, a snazzy t-shirt, and a delightful assortment of goodies over the duration of the three weeks.  

 
Different Categories for Different Heroes  

You can show off your skills in multiple categories:  

• Rx (Prescribed): This is for those wanting to take on the workouts as designed, a challenge for the more seasoned athletes.  
• Scaled: Perfect for those starting out or if you want to dial back the intensity.  
• Masters 35+: We've got a special bracket just for the (wisely) aged among us. I'm almost there myself!  

Join the category that best suits your abilities, and keep your eyes on the leaderboard to see how you stack up.  

Get involved!  

Even if competing isn't your jam, your energy and support from the sidelines are invaluable. It's not just about lifting weights; it's about lifting spirits too! Come to cheer, meet some fantastic people, and be part of our Perpetua family's fitness journey.  

Why You Can't Miss The Perpetua Open  

It's more than a workout - it's a gathering. It's where you bond with fellow fitness lovers and bolster that sense of comradeship.  

The Open acts as an annual check-in with yourself - push your limits, set new benchmarks, and achieve things you didn't think possible.  

Enjoy the festive atmosphere, and let's not forget the party that cements the end of this fantastic event.  

In summary, the Perpetua CrossFit Open is a thrilling three-week event that brings together fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life. As with all things CrossFit, it's about the community just as much as it's about the individual challenge.  

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a curious newcomer, participating in the Perpetua CrossFit Open is an electrifying experience that transcends the typical workout routine. It offers a chance to connect, compete, and celebrate fitness in a manner that's both unique and exciting.
