It’s time! The CrossFit Open kicks off this week, and we couldn’t be more excited! For the next three weeks, our schedule will look a little different as we bring the energy and competition to WildFire. Whether you're competing or just here to train, we’ve got you covered!
What You Need to Know
🔥 Workout Release & Event Schedule
- The first Open workout (25.1) will be announced this Thursday at noon.
- Once released, we’ll put together the lesson plan for Friday’s classes and set up Saturday’s heats.
- Saturday is the main event, but if you can’t make it, we have designated alternative times where we’ll create as much of the event atmosphere as possible, with judges, energy, and support:
- Friday at 6:30 PM
- Sunday at 10:30 AM
🔥 For Those Signed Up for the WildFire Open
- You’ll receive a detailed email with the workout breakdown, warm-up suggestions, tips, and coaching insights.
- Heat reservations open Thursday at 5:30 PM—so be ready to grab your spot!
🔥 Friday’s Plan
- Fridays will be a chance to practice the workout and dial in your strategy with coaching.
- If you’re waiting until Saturday or Sunday to do the Open workout, there will be an alternate workout/strength option available.
- No judges will be available during Friday classes unless you arrange it ahead of time with a coach.
🔥 Miss a Designated Time?
If you can’t make any of the designated Open times (Friday at 6:30 PM, Saturday from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM, or Sunday at 10:30 AM), connect with a coach to schedule a time when a judge is available.
🔥 Saturday Schedule Changes
For the next three Saturdays (March 2nd, 9th, and 15th), regular classes will be canceled as we host our Open event. If you’re not competing, you can still be part of the action! Come cheer, support, or volunteer as a judge—your energy makes all the difference!
🔥 Sunday Notes: Mobility & Kids Class
- There will be no official Mobility class during the Open, but feel free to come in, stretch, and use our suggested mobility work posted on the whiteboard. Plus, you’ll be able to cheer on your fellow athletes while you stretch!
- WildFire Kids will be getting in on the action! Our Sunday Kids Class will be doing modified versions of the Open workouts—so they get to experience the fun too!
🔥 Calling All Judges!
One of the best parts of the Open is having a judge right there with you, keeping you accountable and helping you push to the next level. We need judges to help make this event run smoothly! No experience? No problem! We’ll go over everything you need to know.
If you want to take your judging to the next level, CrossFit offers an online Judges Course that breaks down movement standards and the judging process in more detail. This is not required, but for those who complete the course, we have a special lanyard and badge to wear during the events—because being an official judge is a big deal!
If you’re available to help, let us know—we appreciate you!
If you have any questions, just reach out! This is an exciting time of year at WildFire, and we can’t wait to throw down with all of you.
Let’s make this Open unforgettable!
