Every Saturday during the Open an event will be hosted at one of the local Affiliates, starting with CrossFit Queens! Join us as we invite 100 athletes from the new york area to compete.

Not competing?  No problem.

CrossFit Queens members will have an opportunity try the workouts, we will be programming The CrossFit Open workout during the week.  There will be no “official” judging, but we will hold you to the same movement standards as prescribed for The Open wods.  Scaling options will be available, this is meant to encourage participation and expose members to something they wouldn’t be involved with.
