CFSBX COMPETITION & THE OPEN

The in house competition will be based off of the five Crossfit Games Open workouts released over the next five weeks.  Each week as the workouts are completed athletes will be required to post their scores.  Athletes will be ranked based on their performance each week.  At the end of the 5 weeks, we will crown a champion in each division. 

Works are released every Thursday by Crossfit HQ at 5pm PST.  

2 different Men's & Women's divisions: 

RX - workouts performed as posted by CF HQ

Scaled - workouts can be performed with modifications. 

How do I enter?  

Sign for the Open.  We will separate all athletes in their appropriate divisions (many of you will likely get CoffeyD* into doing the workouts RX.  It's the open).  

Do I have to sign up for The Open?

No, you can still participate in the box competition.  But we strongly encourage it.  Plus you get a shirt.  Free swag, can't hate on that.

When are the workouts?  

Fridays.  All those participating in The Open and the in house competition are highly ENCOURAGED to do the workouts Friday night during the 5, 6, and 7pm classes.  Multiple heats of 3-4 athletes will be scheduled per class hour.

I didn't sign up for either, can I still come to class?

Of course!  All classes will still be doing the workouts.  Only those signed up will need an official judge and score.  

EVERYONE is invited to come workout, cheer others on, and hang out.  

Sign up for the open.  The party starts this Saturday morning.

The Open is a lot fun.  It gives our community a chance to come together each week and compete against athletes just like ourselves all over the world.  It doesn’t matter how long you have been doing “crossfit”.  Your 1 rep max back squat has nothing to do with it.  Using a band to do pull-ups or doing push-ups on your knees, the open is still for you.  Yes, it is a competition to find the fittest in the world.  But it is also a competition to discover the fittest, you.  Sign up, participate, support, and cheer.  Let’s have some fun.  When it’s all over, we’ll help each other off the ground and have some coffee.  After we stop sweating and catch our breathes anyway.

What is The Open?

It is a worldwide crossfit competition that EVERYONE (yes everyone) is invited to compete in. There will be 5 workouts over the span of 5 weeks. Athletes (cross fitters) just like you and me will perform the workouts and log our scores online. Each week a new workout will be announced and posted. Every box in the world (yes the ENTIRE WORLD), will be doing the same workout. Just in the same way we post our times, scores, weights, etc... on the board. Every athlete (crossfitter) will post theirs. One giant community (the world) of exercisers. 

Thursday 2/27 @5pm - the first open workout will be released. 

All Give Some, Some Give All:  CFSBX Honor Guard

Every Third Sunday of the Month (4th Sunday for the month of February): 10am

You may remember about a month ago (it was a Sunday), "Murph" was on the menu at 10, 11, and 12.  That weekend was the national release date of The Lone Survivor and the birthday weekend of Tim Poydenis ("Murph" happens to be one of his favorite workouts).   It only made sense that a group of us get together to suffer as a unit.  The workout was tough (as all hero workouts are), but it was a lot of fun.  We pushed each other through every last pull-up, push-up, squat and every inch of every mile.  After, we took photos and crushed cans of Coors Light (the silver bullet).  That day, Aaron Schmidt came to me with the idea of us getting together once a month to honor a different Hero.  We would love more than anything for more people to get involved and join us.  We will be getting together at 10am to get the "party" started.  No pressure if you don't want to join but feel free to come cheer us on.
Our regular Sunday schedule will not change.  Yoga at 9am, open gym till 12, and class with Cynthia are still happening!  : )

"The CFSBX Honor Guard is our way of honoring the heroes who are commemorated in the CrossFit Hero WODs. There's no way to explain the sacrifices that these men and women have made to protect our freedoms. But by coming together as a team and supporting one another through immense physical challenges, we can dedicate ourselves to honoring their memory. Every month we'll choose a Hero WOD, and complete it with both the reverence that it demands and the persistence it deserves. We hope you'll join us on Sunday mornings as we challenge ourselves not only to work harder but to also pay respect to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

All give some, some give all."  - Aaron Schmidt

YOGA at Crossfit Sandbox, it's a thing.

Sunday's at 9am we are now offering yoga with Coach Juvie!  He lead our first last weekend and is excited to keep it going.  We could all use a little more stretching and mobility in our lives.  If you have never done yoga before, then FOR SURE you need to check out this class!
Open gym will resume at 10am as usual and class at 12pm is still happening.

Namaste.
