5 Reasons to sign up for the CrossFit Open

The 2016 CrossFit Open begins February 25th! If you haven’t done so, SIGN UP HERE. If you’re still on the fence, here's five reasons you should do it:

1. Good is Good Enough
   If you’re showing up for classes, you’re good...and that’s good enough. Trust me. You don’t have to be a firebreather to participate in the CrossFit Open. All workouts are scaleable. The Open is about “going there.” It’s about reaching deep and giving all you got...no matter your current level of fitness.
2. Tap Into Your Competitive Fire
   You’re going to be part of the TEAM. TEAM Windy City! The older we get, the less we get to experience that feeling...of physical competition and camaraderie. It’s almost like a right of passage here at Windy City. You gotta do it, at least once. The entire gym is going to be there cheering for you, pushing you. Go for it! Put it on the line and watch yourself come out the other side inspired and changed.
3. Compare and Appreciate
   You’re going to be doing the same exact workouts as the best CrossFitters in the world. What a cool thing to be able to compare and appreciate -- each week -- just how good the best of the best truly are.
4. Measuring Stick
   Though it may not be exact, as the tests do change each and every year, participating in the CrossFit Open gives you an opportunity to measure your improvement year over year. Some workouts repeat. Some do not. Regardless, you’ll get an idea of your strengths, your weaknesses, how you compare to the rest of the world and how far you’ve come.
5. It’s Gotta Be Fun, Right?
   And it is. Period. Participating in the CrossFit Open during Saturday heats at Windy City is just plain fun. We have heat sign-ups, volunteer judges, score-cards, loads of spectators and lots of cheering! It truly is a community event.
