What is the Crossfit Open?
The Crossfit Open is the start of the road to the 2012 Crossfit Games. The Open consists of 5 workouts over 5 weeks from February 22 – March 25. All athletes interested in participating have the option to perform each workout at a registered affiliate (Bayou City/PinUp) or to submit a videotape of their performance to the Games website.
Bayou City will be hosting weekly Open workouts on Saturdays for all participants to complete their workouts. Please see schedule below for the times:
Saturday, Feb. 25th – 10:30am

Saturday, March 17th – 2:00pm ***** (notice time change)
Saturday, March 24th – 10:30am
The Open is for EVERYONE! Even if you have no desire to compete or are brand new to Crossfit – EVERYONE is able to participate in these weekly workouts. It’s an opportunity for you to gain an appreciation for your strengths, weaknesses and mental toughness.
The Open’s top 60 men and women in each region move on to the second stage of competition – Regionals! Each Regional will be a 3-day competition.
Bayou City and PinUp are part of the South Central Region. South Central Regionals are scheduled for April 27-29 in San Antonio, TX.
Plan to come out to Regionals for the weekend – support local athletes and be a part of the amazing Crossfit community! It’s an opportunity to watch top notch athletes in action and network with others who are enjoying Crossfit in other areas.
The top 3 individual men and women and the top 3 teams at Regionals will head to California to compete in the 2012 Crossfit Games July 13-15!!!
We encourage anyone and everyone to SIGN up and participate in the Open. Have fun with the workouts and enjoy the community aspect of Crossfit.
We want everyone – whether or not you are participating in the Open – to come out and cheer on others each Saturday as they complete each workout. The more energy and excitement in the crowd the better!
