The 2022 CrossFit Open: Petram Style
Welcome to the 2022 CrossFit Open! For our newer members, this is a worldwide event that brings athletes of all ages together to celebrate fitness, personal growth, and the communities they get sweaty with! For CrossFit Petram, the Open brings a time of community building and, of course, a healthy dose of friendly competition! The Open lasts for three weeks, beginning on Thursday, February 24.
This year, Petram athletes have been randomly divided onto one of four teams - gray, black, red, and blue. As a team, athletes will work together to earn as many points as possible by working out, completing fun in-house contests, and of course, giving back! Below, you’ll find some general ways that athletes can earn points from week to week:
Complete the Open workout each week.
Participate in the weekly contest to be announced the week of Friday Night Lights (FNL).
Attend FNL to either workout, cheer on your teammates, OR both!
Place in the top 5 for the RX and Scaled Divisions each week.
For each week of the Open, we’ve planned more specific themes that will help shape up how we compete and who we support.
Week 1:
Theme: Chip, Chip, Hooray! Let’s rally together to support Our Daily Bread, a local Middletown organization that seeks to support individuals and families that struggle with food insecurity at no cost.
Contest: To Be Announced :)
Bonus Point Opportunity: To Be Announced :)
Week 2:
Theme: Who Let the Dogs Out? Animals need love too! The Delaware SPCA is the state’s first animal welfare organization, and has helped place more than 1,000 animals into loving homes. Let’s lift up our furry friends.
Contest: To Be Announced :)
Bonus Point Opportunity: To Be Announced :)
Week 3:
Theme: A Million, Billion Thank You’s! Let’s be real - the last two years have been tough for all of us in one way or another. Research shows that when we express gratitude, it can literally rewire our brains. So, it’s time to say thank you to those in our lives who need to hear it. We are going to rally together to support The Weekly Fight, a long standing partner of CrossFit Petram.
Contest: To Be Announced :)
Bonus Point Opportunity: To Be Announced :)
We are really excited for the Open this year! We are looking forward to seeing what our gym does best - show up, show out, and show off for a good cause! Let’s celebrate just how far we’ve come, and help others understand that no matter what, we are always stronger together.
See you at the gym!
