Our Open.
Ever since opening, LYG has participated in the CrossFit Games Open as a means to celebrate competition & camaraderie within the Crew.
However, the lack of responsibility & respect shown by CrossFit HQ after the tragic death of Lazar Dukic at the 2024 CrossFit Games made us consider that our participation conveys support for this organization. We will not be encouraging or promoting the participation in the CrossFit Games Open henceforth.
More importantly, we believe an old way of doing things can always be made better… especially for you, our Crew.
We are so amped to announce the LYG Fitness & Fellowship Open will begin on Friday, March the 7th.
The conclusion of our Rebuild cycle, with all of its retests, will occur the week before the F&F Open begins.
Our goal is to return the unmatched excitement to this 3 week series of surprise workouts. Here are 3 changes that will make this Open ours.
Buddy System — Find your friend to tackle every Friday’s workout with, for all 3 weeks.
We’re writing the WRKouts — No more unruly expectations from the desk of Dave Castro.
You pick your WRKout — Master’s 55+/Scaled, Rx, Rx+ versions for you & your partner to choose.*
*Workouts will be designed so, for example, a Master’s athlete could be partnered with a Rx+er without any trouble.
Just like in our Fitness & Fellowship Weeks of old, the crescendos of the F&F Open will be Friday Night Lights. After announcing that week’s WRKout, we’ll all tackle it in one big heat. Then after the dust settles, we’ll enjoy some fellowship at one of the Crew’s favorite local spots.
Although an 8:30am class will still be offered on these Fridays, we implore you to throw down at the 5:15pm class… or at the least, be there to watch the show & cheer everyone on. Getting the whole Crew together for Friday Night Lights will be what makes our first F&F Open unforgettable!!
