On The CrossFit Open

For many, the Open transcends mere physical challenges. It has served as a catalyst for personal growth, new friendships, and transformative life experiences. In our own narrative, the Open played a pivotal role. It all began at an Open afterparty, where we met each other and later welcomed our daughter, Lia, into our lives.

Recently, the sport side of the CrossFit community has faced several challenges, including concerns regarding transparency and safety. This year, we will neither encourage nor discourage members from participating in this year’s Open. Our unwavering support to you, our members, remains steadfast, regardless of the decision made.

We are committed to bringing the vibrant energy and inclusive, community spirit of the Open to WFC. We will participate by doing the workouts in a supportive, competitive environment, and setting up our own leaderboard on our website so you can see your progress and cheer each other on. Our gym is all about strength—not just physical strength, but the strength that comes from supporting one another with compassion, accountability, and inclusivity.

Thank you to everyone who has ever been a part of the CrossFit Open experience. Whether you’re competing, cheering from the sidelines, or just drawing inspiration from our shared story, know that you’re part of a family that values safety, integrity, and heart above all else.

Together, we continue to build a legacy of strength, empathy, and unity, one rep, one lift, and one moment at a time.

With sincere appreciation,

Luciana, Max, and Lia
