2018 CrossFit Open is Coming Soon!!!

2018 CrossFit Open is Coming Soon!!!

 

 

It’s another year already and we are excited to be participating in the 2018 CrossFit Open. For those of you that are new to the sport of CrossFit the Open consists of 5 weeks of workouts that are the first step to get to the CrossFit games. The top performing athletes in the Open move on the Reigonals and then on to the CrossFit Games.

For those of us that aren’t looking to move on to the CrossFit Games the Open is a time to test our fitness for another year. And maybe more importantly it’s a time of year to bring our WildFire community together to show what we are made of! Whether it’s your first Open or your 8th we are excited to have everyone participate.  Rx, Scaled and Master’s categories are all available.

So here’s the low down:

  • The workouts are announced each Thursday starting February 22 with the last one announced on March 22.
  • The main event at WildFire will be Saturday’s starting at 10am. This will be the best time to do the workout with lots of cheering and energy getting you to those PR’s!
  • Each workout will be judged by a coach or another WildFire member.
  • If you can’t be there on Saturday we will have several other times to be judged for the workout: Friday at 7am or 7pm, Sunday at 11:30am or Monday at 1pm.
  • We will have sign-ups in Zen Planner for each scheduled Open workout time so that we can plan for judges, heats and equipment.
  • Scores must be submitted on the CrossFit Game site at 5:00pm each Monday and then be validated by a WildFire staffer.
  • If you cannot make it to one of the scheduled times grab a judge and schedule a time to do it during open gym.
  • NO judging or completing the workouts during ANY scheduled class NO EXCEPTIONS!
  • It is a crazy 5 weeks for your coaching staff so just know that it’ll cost you $15 if you need a coach outside of the scheduled Open times.  

We will be adding a little friendly in-house team element to the Open again this year:

  • Each person who is signed up to participate in the Open will be added to a team.
  • Each team will have a designated coach and another member as team Captain to help out with motivation and team spirit.
  • Teams will be scored on participation, PR’s, and team spirit to determine a WildFire team winner.
  • We will have shirts available with different colors for each team. Shirts will be for sale for $25. (More info to come.)
  • Bragging rights and possibly a few prizes will be up for grabs!

This year there are two ways to get signed up. If you want to be ranked on the worldwide leaderboard sign up at games.crossfit.com  ($20). If you are one of our loyal WildFire peeps who wants to participate but don’t want to see where you rank in the world you can also sign up HERE   ($20). Either way, or both if you want, you will be placed on a team and will be able to participate in the scheduled workout times.

We need your help tooooo!! CrossFit HQ will shortly put out a test for judges. We will post the link to everyone as soon as we get it. Judges are responsible for counting reps as well as ensuring athletes are completing full movements. This is a great precursor to judging for our Fire and Ice Competition coming May 19th. Plus this just might be your chance to “NO REP” one of your coaches! Please let Coach Erin know if you are interested in helping with judging for the Open.

We are excited to be heading into the Open season and can’t wait to see the PR’s this year!

I've been coming to Wildfire CrossFit for about a year now, prior to that, I had never worked out consistently for any significant period of time in my life. Although in my twenties I had been blessed with a fast metabolism, age was catching up with me in my thirties and I started to pack on a few unwanted pounds. I won't lie and say that I enjoyed the first few months, but the coaches at Wildfire always encouraged me and somehow found a way to make me want to come back. As I have improved and found a routine that works for me, I dropped 20 pounds, increased my strength dramatically and toned every muscle in my body......I even had to have all my dress pants taken in a few inches! I can now say that I really enjoy the workouts and actually look forward to seeing the regular late afternoon crowd I work out with for our friendly competition. The coaching staff is fantastic, there is no pressure to do more than what is realistic and safe for each individual's ability and we all have a lot of fun working out HARD for about an hour. If you haven't done CrossFit in the past, don't see measurable results with your current workout plan or have trouble finding motivation to go to the gym, I would highly recommend Wildfire CrossFit to kick your workout into high gear.

I always thought being active meant as long as you're out of your home doing something physical then it meant you were keeping in shape. But really, being active can take on any meaning depending on who you are. For me, I found my active lifestyle with CrossFit.

I had no idea what that word meant or what it entailed. And so I took it upon myself to try several different gyms, or boxes, as we call them. Most boxes out there offered a free first class. How great! Boy, what a roller coaster of disappointment. Yes, each time I was explained what the class would be doing. Yes, they challenged me mentally and physically. But that free first class always ended up with someone wanting my verbal and written confirmation that I would be choosing their box right here right now. No one wants to feel pressured into doing something they've never done before. That's exactly how I felt. And so, after a friend referred me to WildFire CrossFit, I thought, I'm really not sure. One more attempt to see if this is really what I wanted.

Bri Maynes Rack Positionv2First thing that comes to mind is I love WildFire CrossFit! My home away from home. I have felt the passion and desire from these amazing coaches since day one. They coach with determination and motivation. They make lasting impressions on all athletes. I have been challenged in such a positive way that I just can't get enough. I'm tested every day I set foot in that gym. There are no limits for me. The relationships I have with the coaches and my fellow athletes are not anything I could create anywhere else. When I am going my hardest during a workout and I hear my name and cheers for me to keep going I don't want to disappoint. I love that everyone at WildFire CrossFit is a team supporter and player. We push ourselves to the limit and it's okay. It's okay to set goals, reach them, and set new ones.

There are so many proud moments I have achieved at WildFire CrossFit. Too many to list but the list is never-ending. There is always room for improvement. Never did I think I could do double unders, kipping pull-ups, flip tires or a handstand hold. I love adding to my achievements and doing it in a place where I love the great community.

WildFire Crossfit is not just another gym. Not just another box. At WildFire CrossFit you are part of a community that wants you to be who you deserve to be and teaches you so much about yourself. Thank you Skip and Tiffany for being amazing and creating this Rockstar community. Fuel The Fire!!

I found Wildfire CrossFit through one of the owners Tiffany. I had spoken to her about CrossFit for weeks and never felt pressure to come in and try it out. I finally gave in and I could not be any happier. Before WildFire I had been with a personal trainer for a year and barely saw any results in my healthy me journey. I walked into WildFire and was placed with a coach and Skip and they listened to my health problems (aka my funky knee) and modified my workouts for what I could do. Eventually I joined in on the group classes and all the coaches were there to help and support me in whatever I could or could not do and made sure I got a good workout in every time. Over time I have met some of the greatest people I know. I have come to have some of the most fun, loving, supportive friends in my life. The personal and friendly attention is the reason I stayed at Wildfire and just celebrated 2years there. Thank You to my WildFire Family for everything you have done and continue to do for everyone in the community every day.
