2022 CrossFit Proficient Intramural Open

Proficient Goals: Educate and Inspire

Competition helps with the ‘inspire’ part: the pressure to perform pushes you to train harder; the social boost of dozens of your best friends cheering for you will help you reach a higher plane. Watching your teammates GO is inspiring.

Every year, CrossFit HQ runs an event called “The CrossFit Open“. As always, we take the idea and make it our own. We’re not interested in finding out how fast you can exercise against 400,000 other people worldwide. We ARE interested in helping you push to new levels in fitness, level up your life, and get 1000 high fives from the Proficient family.

Can we bring that worldwide thrill home? Can we deliver all the fun of competition without causing any anxiety attacks? We think so.

The Intramural Open is our annual tradition at Proficient

This is how it works

We’ll divide you up into three or four teams, each with a Team Captain and a funny name. Previous names have been “Kippin’ It Real”, “Drop It Like a Squat”, “Buns & Guns” and “Family Guys”. You can earn points for your team by participating, winning an event, and showing the most spirit during events.  After three weeks of intense, novel workouts, we’ll reveal the Mystery Event Four. 

How will draft our happen?

On Draft Day, you’ll be invited to watch your name be pulled from a hat. Unlike primary school, EVERYONE GETS PICKED. Then, the Captains work hard to get you to participate in the best, most FUN event at Proficient. This year will have an at-home option as well.

Yep, we chose the FUN bunch to Captain, not our traditional top scorers. We want 100% participation this year. We have plans regardless of what this pandemic is going to throw our way! 

REGISTRATION – we draft everyone!

POINTS

+1 Point – Attendance: every member of a team that completes an Open workout each week earns one point. Maximum one point per athlete per workout. 

+1 Point – Top 3: every male AND female member who places among the Top 3 at Proficient for each workout gets an extra point for their team.

+5 Points (team) – Spirit: The team with the most noise, pride, and PRESENCE on social media each week will receive 5 bonus points.

+5 Points (bonus) – 4th workout: Those details will be available soon.

WORKOUTS

In 2022,  our Intramural Open will have 3 workouts; with a BONUS event planned, which may take place at any time DURING the four weeks or up until a week after the last.

We’re planning to be open – some restrictions may apply. We’ll complete the Open workouts during class times on Saturday’s (Week 3 being held on Friday night). Reserve your spot and show up on Saturday to participate.  Your membership gets you into the event (they’re just like regular workouts, but more challenging and fun.) The fourth event will be a freebie for anyone registered on any Intramural team.

PREPARATION

For some of our members, the Open is an annual measuring stick to test their improvements in fitness.

Our programming will make a slight shift for the next six weeks to get you READY for the demands of the four-week competition!

We’re working on specialty programs available for those who want to improve one or two specific skills, too. In the meantime, if you’re dying to get your first toes-to-bars, or link your pull-ups, tell your coach and book a goal review! We’ll get you some 1:1 time!

PRIZES

We’ll have some random draws each week for prizes. The top team will be immortalised with their names on a banner hanging in the gym. 

Our focus is on FUN. We want you to participate because it will make you fitter, and you’ll be happy and love life more, and glow and stuff. 

Let’s start this party!
