What is the Open?

Each year CrossFit HQ presents a 3-week online workout competition called the CrossFit Open. They release one workout/week for 3 weeks in which CrossFitters around the globe all take part in the same workout. This online competition is used as a means to find the Fittest in the World to eventually compete in person at the Worldwide CrossFit Games. While the competition was initially catered to the elite athlete, it has now evolved to involve the entire CrossFit community offering scaled versions, age group modifications and alternative WOD options for the Adaptive Athletes. 

 

Please now join us for the Newport Fitness Open, a celebration of our incredible fitness community coinciding with the CrossFit Open! This thrilling competition is all about teamwork, camaraderie, and having a blast while we challenge ourselves. Get ready for an exhilarating experience packed with sweat, support, and the vibrant spirit of our community!

​

​

* Each team will need to VOTE on a Team Color and Team Name as soon as final teams are released.

​

COMPETITIVE PARTNER TEAMS (New This Year!)

​

We will be adding a Competitive Partner Team Option this year! $10/Person to Register. 

- In order to participate in this division, you must also register to be a part of the community teams division. 

​

TWO DIVISIONS:

* CrossFit (Teams of 2: male/female combo)

* Fitcamp (Teams of 2: Any combo)

​

 

SCORING: 

* We will add the individual scores together each week to accumulate a partner score. See prize details below in the prize section. 

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

COMMUNITY TEAM POINTS

​

There will be various ways to earn points towards your community team score.

​​​​​​​

  • Earn 3 points for completing the workout AND submitting your score. If you do not submit your score electronically, it will NOT count.

    • CrossFit will release the CrossFit Rx, Scaled and and Adaptive versions of the WOD on Thursday afternoon on games.crossfit.com. Newport Fitness will then create its own Fitcamp and Boxing versions of the workout and will post all versions of the WOD on the StreamFit app, as well as any links for scoring submission. Everyone will have between Thursday afternoon and Monday by 8:00PM to complete the workout and submit your score.

    • A judge is only required if you are signed up on the actual CrossFit Games website OR the Newport Fitness competitive teams division. 

    • All Friday classes will have the Open workout as the Class Workout Of The Day. NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SIGNED UP FOR THE OPEN TO COME TO FRIDAY CLASS. ALL MEMBERS ARE WELCOME. It will still be run as a normal class with a warm-up, wod instruction and proper coaching. The only difference will be that we run 2 heats of the WOD.

    • Friday Class times will be as follows (Friday dates affected 2/28, 3/7, 3/14) 

    • A scoring link will be provided to submit your workout score as well all other other point scoring options.

  • Earn 1 point for every person you judge throughout the weekend.

    • A scoring link will be provided to submit your workout score as well all other other point scoring options.

  • Earn 3 points for every person you bring to Friday Night Lights 

    • Bring friends and family to come cheer you on during the WOD or to watch your fellow gym members with you!​

    • A scoring link will be provided to submit your workout score as well all other other point scoring options. This includes listing names of the people you brought. WE WILL NOT SPAM THEM. They will NOT be added to our marketing system. They will receive ONE text or email thanking them for attending directly from Emily's cell phone or email address. 

    • If you bring the same people each week, they will still count. We will only send them one thank you text though. 

  • Earn 1 point for every person wearing your team color in the Friday Night Lights Pic!

    • We will take a team pic each week at Friday Night Lights. Encourage all of your teammates to wear your team color and receive one point for each person in your pic wearing your team color. If some of your teammates can't make it, No worries! - You can make up the points by recruiting others to wear your team colors - your kids, pets, visiting friends and family and even other members (who may or may not be participating in the open...strategy may come into play ;) 

    • RULES:

      • Inanimate objects will not count. Do not dress up stuffed animals, blow up dolls, etc. I am making this rule mainly for Coach Adam ;) 

      • You can dazzle yourself in as much of the team color as you want, BUT in order for it to count, it has to be a large portion of your outfit. AKA - a shirt or pants. Hair rubber bands, a spec of the team color on your shirt, nail polish, etc will not count. If we can't easily see it in the team pic, it does not count.

    • Note: See Friday Night Lights section below for how the theme works this year. ​

  •  Earn 1 point for sharing/tagging people on our weekly Open Post to facebook or instagram. 

    •  We will create a post on our main profiles on Facebook and Instagram promoting our Friday Night Lights. If you share the post on Facebook and/or tag someone on either platform, you will receive 1 point for each share or tag. It must be easily verifiable. So for example if you share it as a private message to someone (we do appreciate this!) but we can't count it, as it will be hard for us to verify. â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

Friday Night Lights Info

Every Friday evening during the Open, we invite all members to participate in our Friday Night Lights Heats! Come and do the workout OR just show on up to cheer on your fellow gym friends! It's a great way to push yourself in the workouts and an awesome way to get to know the members of the gym!

​

5:15 PM - FitKids Workout! Workout starts promptly at 5:15PM, so please have them to the gym by 5PM to learn about the workout. (They do not have to pre-register for the heat, but it is encouraged so we know how many kids to expect). 

​

5:45PM - Heat #1 Kicks Off! All other heat start times will be determined by the length of the WOD and the amount of equipment needed once it is released. Generally we run 4 heats between 5:45PM and 7:30PM

​
