Most people walk into the gym to lose weight, build strength, get healthier, and feel better.
And if that’s you, you might be thinking, Why sign up for a competition?
Here’s why: The right environment changes everything.
At WildFire CrossFit, we compete with each other, not against each other.
That energy is what takes your progress to the next level. The CrossFit Open isn’t about being the best—it’s about bringing out the best in YOU. It’s the one time a year where the entire gym comes together to push harder, support stronger, and unlock new levels of fitness.
If you want faster results—whether that means losing weight, gaining muscle, or feeling more confident in your body—there is no better opportunity than the Open.
How Competition (Even a Little) Transforms Your Fitness
The Open creates an environment that naturally pushes you beyond what you’d do on your own.
You Work Harder Without Realizing It
Studies show that people push significantly harder in a competitive environment. When the clock is counting down, when the person next to you is giving their all, when the energy is buzzing through the gym—you find another gear. More intensity = more fat burned, more muscle built, and more confidence gained.
You Push Past Mental Barriers
Ever stared at a barbell, knowing you could lift it but hesitated? Ever told yourself you’re not ready to attempt a harder movement? The Open crushes those mental roadblocks. When the energy is high and people are cheering you on, you stop overthinking and just go. And that’s when breakthroughs happen—your first pull-up, a heavier lift, or pushing through fatigue when you normally would have stopped.
The Support Keeps You Going
Most of the time, fitness is a solo journey. You have to motivate yourself, push yourself, and hold yourself accountable. During the Open, you have a team, a community, and an atmosphere that fuels your momentum. That momentum leads to progress, and progress leads to results.
You Gain Confidence That Sticks
Confidence doesn’t come from thinking you can do something—it comes from doing it. The Open proves you are stronger, fitter, and more capable than you realize. And once you see what you can do in this environment, that confidence carries over into every workout afterward.
The Fast Track to Your Goals
No need to be “competitive” to do the Open. Just a commitment to being better.
If your goal is to lose weight, the Open pushes your intensity higher—leading to more calories burned and faster fat loss.
If your goal is to build strength, the Open challenges you to lift heavier and attempt movements you might not have otherwise.
If your goal is to feel better and prove to yourself what you’re capable of, the Open will show you exactly that.
And the best part? You have a team, a community, and an atmosphere that makes it easier—and way more fun—to push toward your goals.
What You Get for signing up through WildFire
The CrossFit Open at WildFire isn’t just another workout—it’s an event, an experience, and an opportunity to push your fitness to the next level in a way that simply doesn’t happen in regular training. You’re not just paying for three workouts—you’re stepping into an environment that will fuel your progress, build your confidence, and create moments that will stay with you long after the Open is over.
A Competition-Level Experience Without the Pressure
We create an environment that brings out the best in you—professional-style event organization, a competition floor setup, judges to count your reps, and a crowd of supportive athletes pushing you forward. You get the adrenaline rush of competition without needing to be a competitor.
Exclusive Coaching and Support
During the Open, you get extra attention from our coaching staff—helping you strategize, pace, and execute your workouts at the highest level. This kind of personalized guidance alone is worth the cost of entry.
The Best Workouts of the Year in the Best Atmosphere
These workouts are designed to test you, challenge you, and push you to new levels. But doing them in this environment is what makes them truly special. The energy, the cheering, the camaraderie—it transforms what’s possible. You will lift more, move faster, and achieve things you didn’t think you could.
Breakthrough Moments That Accelerate Your Results
The Open isn’t just about competition—it’s about hitting new milestones. First pull-ups, PR lifts, pushing past mental and physical barriers. These moments happen in the Open because the environment pushes you beyond what you do in daily training. More intensity, more effort, more results.
An Event That’s Built for YOU
We put in the work behind the scenes to make this an incredible experience. Heat schedules, judging assignments, leaderboard updates, and event setup—so all you have to do is show up and give it your best. You get a competition-style event without the stress of figuring it out on your own.
A Deeper Connection to Your WildFire Community
Some of the best memories at WildFire are made during the Open. You’ll compete, cheer, and celebrate alongside athletes who want to see you succeed. You’ll meet new training partners, find new motivation, and walk away feeling more connected than ever.
A Chance to See What You’re Truly Capable Of
Every year, athletes surprise themselves in the Open. They do things they never thought they could. And those moments don’t just stay in the gym—they carry over into every aspect of life. Confidence, grit, and the belief that you can do hard things.
