What Is the CrossFit Open?

The CrossFit Open is a worldwide event where CrossFit gyms and athletes take part in a series of workouts released weekly over several weeks. The workouts are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all fitness levels. At CrossFit Chichester, we host the Open as a community event, focusing on shared experience rather than competition.

Each workout is scaled to suit different abilities, so everyone can join in at a level that feels right. The Open is not about being the “best” or beating others; it’s about personal challenge, support, and celebrating effort.
