The 2025 Intramural Open

The CrossFit Open is a worldwide fitness competition that takes place over 3 weeks, where athletes of all levels complete a series of workouts to test their strength, endurance, and skill. It’s an opportunity to challenge yourself, see how you stack up against athletes around the globe, and most importantly, have fun pushing your limits! It's the most exciting time of the year in the CrossFit community, and we're taking it to the next level with our CrossFit Open Intramural, an in-house competition that brings friendly rivalry, team spirit, and unforgettable moments to our gym.

What is the Intramural Open?

The CrossFit Open Intramural is a fun and inclusive way to experience the global CrossFit Open while fostering camaraderie within our community. Instead of competing alone, athletes are divided into teams led by our coaches. Over three weeks, you’ll tackle the same workouts as the official Open but with extra excitement, teamwork, and a chance to win gym-wide bragging rights!
