The CrossFit Open, is that epic yearly online showdown where you'll tackle three intense workouts, spread out over an insane three weeks.

Last year, the CrossFit Open 2023 got the party started on Thursday, February 16, 2023, and kept the energy going until Monday, March 06, 2023.

So, mark your calendars; the workouts make their grand entrance every Thursday at 12 p.m. (Pacific Time), and you've got until Monday at 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) to submit those scores. 

How much does it cost to register for CrossFit Open 2024?

It takes just two minutes and $20 to join the worldwide party. The workout revelations happen every Thursday, and technically, you can procrastinate right up until the moment they drop the workout details – though I wouldn't suggest it.

Whether you prefer the Friday Night Lights of a CrossFit affiliate or the solitude of your home gym, you have the freedom to complete the workouts in your preferred setting. It's an adaptable and inclusive way to get in on the action.

Can anyone enter CrossFit Open 2024? Or do I need to qualify?

The CrossFit Open often witnesses shifts in its participant count from one year to the next.

In the current year, we observed a significant surge in participation, with roughly 10% more athletes coming on board, pushing the total count up to a whopping 323,014 participants.

Getting ready for the CrossFit Open requires a multifaceted approach to fitness. You need to craft a comprehensive fitness regimen that covers all the bases: strength, endurance, flexibility, and skill development.

Consistency is key, so make sure to incorporate regular training sessions that encompass the range of activities commonly encountered in Open workouts. Dedicate time to hone your skills and address any weaknesses you may have – that's crucial for a strong performance.

But it doesn't stop there. Your nutrition, recovery, and mental game are equally pivotal. Your body needs the right fuel to perform at its best, and recovery ensures you're in top shape for each workout. Plus, mental preparedness can make or break your performance.
