The CrossFit Open 2024
What an incredible three weeks our CrossFit OneFive community had during the Open. These three competition style workouts brought a surreal amount of support and camaraderie into our gym.
For some members, it was their first time signing up, with others participating for several years now. Each member came in and gave it their all, demonstrating their hard efforts in training each week. Most attempted the workout more than once, and were able to strategise to get a better score each time.
We had so much fun and are so proud of all involved.
Now, we cant wait to continue to support those who made it to quarterfinals!
