The Open is Coming

The Open is just around the corner, the first workout is getting released on Thursday, February 26th, and an additional workout will be released each week for the following 4 weeks on Thursday nights. As has been done in the past years we will be performing the Open workouts at Champlain Valley CrossFit on Friday nights, starting around 3:30 PM and running until around 7:30 PM. This will be the only scheduled time to perform the workouts, workout’s can be made up on Sunday during Open gym, but that will not be the priority of the coach who is running Open Gym on Sunday’s. Last year we had just over 100 people sign-up for the Open, and this year with the addition of the Scaled division I hope we’ll see even more. I strongly encourage every person to sign-up and come take part…
