2012 CrossFit Games Open

Who is the fittest? How do you know? Since 2007, the CrossFit Games have evolved to answer these questions. Several unique characteristics define the CrossFit Games. The Games change every year and the details are not announced until right before each event. How do you train for a competition that is a mystery? Be prepared for anything.

For more information on the history of the Games:

Here are the details on how we plan to host the Open this year.

Workout 03 - March 07 to March 11

Sunday is my favorite day to train and I refuse to allow your negativity to ruin that. Good day Sir.
