#raincityopen

The event page will continue to be updated... but we’ve locked in our partners & themes for each week of the #RaincityOPEN!

Week 1 will be powered by BLONYX 

Every athlete who completes the workout during Friday Night Lights will be entered in the raffle for a free bag of their Egg Protein!

Theme: Raincity

Keeping it simple for week 1! Rock your Raincity gear or just as much green as you own! To help you out, all apparel will be 25% off all day on Feb 25th so you can stock up for the evening event! 

The top 3 best dressed will get entered into a raffle draw for a free Private Training session with the coach of their choice! ($130 value). 

More details...

We’ve got some awesome partners, themes, and prizes lined up. You can check them out now (as well as a mini faq) on the event page:

WHEN IS IT?

The workouts get released @ 5pm:

Week 1: Feb 24th

Week 2: March 3rd

Week 3: March 10th

We’ll hit the workout Friday Night Lights style at 6:30PM each week!

We’ll ALSO be doing the workouts Saturday mornings instead of Team WODs (for 3 weeks)  so you might as well come join us on Friday Night :)

WHO’S IT FOR?

All [FF] Functional Fitness athletes who have completed their OnRamp! There will be Rx & Scaled versions of every workout as well as super-scaled Raincity versions if needed :)

HOW DO I REGISTER?

OPEN REGISTRATION: Registration via crossfit.com is NOT required - but is now an option if you’d like as CrossFit no longer requires video submission!

Please note: If you are registering via CrossFit.com and looking to submit your scores we also require you to complete the judges course as well :)

CLASS REGISTRATION: If you just want to join in for the workouts, you can register for the Friday Night Lights classes just like you would via Zenplanner!

HEAT REGISTRATION: Heat registration (fore the FNL class) will be put out at Raincity at 6PM - you must be at the gym to register for your heat for the night.

MORE INFO COMING SOON…

Everything you need to know about Raincity Athletics and the 2021 CrossFit Games Open...

What is the CrossFit Open? 

The ‘Open’ is the first stage of qualifying for the CrossFit Games. It is an online ‘open’ qualifier where workouts are posted Thursday nights @ 5PM and must be completed before 5PM the following Monday. (read more: https://open.crossfit.com/)

When is it?

Workouts are released Thursdays March 11th / 18th / 25th

Should I register for it?

The short answer... no. 

The long answer; if you REALLY want to register and submit scores online (outside of Raincity’s leaderboard on SugarWOD) make sure you read this post in full before doing so... 

Will Raincity be doing the workouts? 

We will post the weekly open workouts to SugarWOD on Friday’s for athletes to do (if they choose) 

Assuming we are still operating as #RaincityGlobo athletes will be able to complete the workout anytime they like during [FF] Individual Access OR [FF] Open Gym!

Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions we will NOT be doing any form of ‘Friday Night Lights’ events like we have in previous years :(

But I really really really really want to register online and submit my scores!...

We still encourage you NOT to register online, instead just peruse the leaderboard and see where you would have fallen each week! 

If that’s not enough for you make sure to read below & contact [email protected] to notify us that you’ll be registering online and planning to do the workouts!

REQUIRED:

Find a buddy who will be doing the workouts with you - preferably someone already in your covid bubble

Both of you MUST complete the online judges course

You MUST FILM ALL of your workouts following strict games.crossfit.com standards (make sure you know them!) 

You will likely NOT be able to complete the workout during [FF] Individual Access blocks (:50) - you MAY be able to fit it into [FF] Open Gym blocks on Fridays (1:20)

RECOMMENDED: 

We will be making coaches available for discounted small group bookings to take athletes through CrossFit Open workouts outside of gym access times! 

1:20 Blocks with a coach to take you through a warmup, workout tips and prep, and assist with filming:

$120 for up to 4 athletes ($30 /person)

Buy all 3 weeks for $300 ($25 / person / week)

Coaches will NOT be judging for you - everyone taking part must complete the judges course so your group can run in 2 heats & judge each other. Coach will assist with filming etc. Number of athletes may vary based on COVID restrictions at the time.

Coaches & Availability

Coaches (may vary): 

James, Rebecca, Thor 

Availability (may vary):
