Just a reminder that we will be closing the gym Friday, Saturday and Sunday due to the 2010 CrossFit Games.

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling three-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is almost completely a mystery.

The 2010 CrossFit Games

The 2010 Games will have five main competitions: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Affiliate Cup Teams, Men's Masters and Women's Masters (over 50). The winners of the individual competitions will each receive $25,000 cash, sponsored by PROGENEX. There will also be many cash and material prizes for the other winners and top performers.

Qualifying for the 2010 CrossFit Games

The 2010 Games are limited to 50 men and 50 women, all of whom qualified to enter. The top five men and women from the 2009 Games are automatically qualified. All past champions are automatically qualified if they wish to compete. The other 43-45 competitors qualified in their Regional Qualifier. There were 13 Regionals around the world, and each Regional are sending the top 1 - 7 athletes (men and women) to the Games, depending on the size of the Regional.

This year, for the first time, there are Sectional Qualifiers which feed most of the Regionals. In other words, most of the Regionals are open only to the top competitors from their respective Sectionals. From early February to late March, 2010, there will be approximately 30 Sectionals. Most Sectionals will send the top 10 - 20 men and women to their Regionals.
