Why You Need to Sign Up for the 2025 CrossFit Open—No Matter Who You Are
Alright, listen up. If you train hard, if you push yourself, if you love the process of leveling up—then the 2025 CrossFit Open is something you need to be a part of. Period.
I don’t care if you’re an elite competitor, a weekend warrior, or someone who just started getting into fitness. The Open isn’t just about finding out who the fittest on Earth is. It’s about you. It’s about seeing where you stand, pushing yourself further than you thought possible, and walking away with a deeper understanding of what you're made of.
For three weeks, you’re in the trenches with people from all over the world—hundreds of thousands of athletes, from pros to first-timers. And whether you’re standing on a podium or just trying to finish your first Open workout, one thing is guaranteed: you will walk away better than you were before.
The CrossFit Open is Global
Think about this: The Open is the biggest fitness competition in the world. More people sign up for the CrossFit Open than any other organized sporting event. It’s you versus the workouts, you versus your expectations, you versus that voice in your head that wants to quit.
And that’s the real magic of it.
The Open isn’t just about fitness. It’s a mental stress test. You’re going to come face-to-face with movements you struggle with, weights that feel too heavy, time caps that feel impossible. And you’re going to have two choices:
Give in to the excuses.
Find another gear and push forward.
That’s the real prize of competing in the Open. Not just the leaderboard, not just the scores—it's proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you thought.
No Excuses—Sign Up Anyway
I hear it every year.
“I’m not ready.”
“I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
“I’ll do it next year when I’m in better shape.”
Stop. That’s fear talking. And guess what? Fear is always going to be there. The only way to silence it is to show up and do the damn work.
Here’s the thing—there’s a division for everyone. Whether you’re a Games-level athlete or someone who just started their fitness journey, there’s a category for you. The Open is scalable. Can’t do double-unders? No problem. Still working on pull-ups? There’s an option for that too.
What matters isn’t how many reps you get, what your time is, or where you rank. What matters is stepping into the fire and testing yourself. Because every single person who signs up gets something out of it—whether it’s a PR, a breakthrough, or just a massive boost in confidence.
This Is Where Beasts Are Made
Let’s talk about why this really matters.
The Open is a proving ground—not just for elite athletes but for everyone. It’s where you find out how deep your well of grit goes. It’s where you get pushed to that place where your body says, “We’re done,” but your mind has to say, “One more rep.”
That kind of toughness? It changes you.
It changes how you handle stress, how you approach challenges, how you tackle obstacles in every part of your life. You don’t just walk away from the Open as a better athlete—you walk away as a stronger, more resilient person.
And let’s be real—some of you are going to shock yourselves.
You might get your first muscle-up.
You might PR a lift.
You might beat people you thought were fitter than you.
And that feeling? That’s what it’s all about.
Community is Everything
Here’s what makes the Open different from every other competition: you’re not doing it alone.
Every gym turns into an arena. Every class feels like a championship event. You’re throwing down with your training partners, pushing each other to places you never thought you could go.
And when you’re in the pain cave, when you’re deep in that last round and everything in you wants to quit, your people will be there—screaming your name, willing you to keep going.
You don’t get that anywhere else.
Three Weeks. Three Workouts. One Life-Changing Experience.
If you’ve been on the fence, this is your sign. Register. Show up. Give it everything.
I don’t care if you finish dead last or if you qualify for the Quarterfinals—if you commit to the process, the 2025 CrossFit Open will make you better.
Stronger.
Fitter.
Tougher.
More capable than you were before.
So are you in?
The 2025 CrossFit Open is coming.
The only question is: Will you show up?
