UPCOMING EVENTS

February 28 – March 16: The 2026 CrossFit Open

What Is the Open?

The CrossFit Open is a three-week, worldwide CrossFit competition that kicks off the 2026 CrossFit Games season. Each week, a new workout is released by CrossFit HQ. You have from Thursday through Monday to complete it according to your division’s standards. At the end of each week, you can see where you stack up by affiliate, age, or worldwide by viewing the CrossFit Games Leaderboard. Anyone, regardless of fitness level, is invited to join the largest participatory sporting event on Earth. Every workout includes multiple scaling options as well age, and adaptive divisions. CFSBK wants EVERYONE on our team and are proud of EVERY effort. This will be out 16th year participating!

Registration is $20 through CrossFit HQ.

How it works at CFSBK

You’ll have three opportunities to get your Open workouts in:

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Every Friday (2/27, 3/6, 3/13) starting at 5pm we’ll run four 30 minute heats of the Open workout in 597. This is a more festive approach to the Open where we light up the space, break out the discoball and encourage folks to come watch. It’s a lot of fun! Spectators are highly encouraged! Come cheer on your fellow community members as they get after these workouts!

Week 1 Theme: 70s
Week 2 Theme 80s
Week 3 Theme 90s

Or via the ZenPlanner Member App

Tap on your picture in the top left (if you haven’t added a picture, your initials will be there), and then tap “Events”- you will see each date there.

Merch and apparel prizes will be given to the top men’s and women’s RX scores of the night as well as best dressed.

Note that your heat start time means that’s when we’ll review the standards and start your workout. All warm-ups will be DIY in 608 before your heat. We also ask that after you perform your workout (and recover) you help judge someone from the next heat. Volunteer judges from folks watching are also extremely appreciated!!

SATURDAY CLASSES

We will run the Open workouts Saturdays in group classes on (2/28, 3/7, 3/14). Sign-up for these classes will work as normal and be available to all CFSBK members. Each class will include a warm-up, standards review and then run two heats of the workout so that one person can perform the workout while another judges before switching roles.

OPEN GYM

Members who would like to perform the workout in Open Gym between Thursday and Monday are allowed to but need to manage getting their own judge. Their judge needs to be someone else registered for the Open or well versed in CrossFit.

Looking to sign up for HYROX in the future — or Just Curious About It?

If you’ve been hearing about HYROX and wondering what it’s all about, this is a great place to start. Whether you’re thinking about signing up one day or simply want to try a new style of training, you’re absolutely welcome.

We’ll take time to explain the movements, break down the stations, and help you build confidence at your own pace. You’ll get a feel for how HYROX training works without any pressure to perform or keep up with anyone else.

All fitness levels are welcome. Just come ready to move, learn something new, and have fun.

Station Standards and Technique

We will break down each station, including movement standards, efficiency, and race-specific techniques. This includes key movements such as sled push and sled pull, where proper technique can save significant time and energy.

We will go over different sled pull techniques and body positioning. Movement efficiency across all HYROX stations

Compromised Running

You’ll be running on fatigued legs, elevated heart rate, and under pressure.

We will use these classes to work on running when you feel you can not! We will train to help you stay consistent across all eight runs

Pacing and Race Strategy

One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is going out too fast—or not having a strategy at all.

We will go over how to pace each station and run, when to push and when to stay controlled.
How to distribute your effort across the entire race solo and with your partner.

Efficient Transitions and Partner Strategy

Transitions are often overlooked but can be the difference between a strong race and a frustrating one.

We will practice:
