On behalf of the entire CrossFit Roots coaching staff, we want to be the first to welcome YOU to the 2025 CrossFit Open. Registration is now OPEN. Each year, for three weeks, the entire gym comes together for our yearly dose of motivation, inspiration, firsts, and yes, a damn good time. Whether you’ve just finished your Foundations Course or you’ve been here for a decade, we want you to participate. Last year, 230 Roots athletes signed up to participate and throwdown on our in-house intramural competition, making CrossFit Roots one of the top affiliate participations in the world. If you’re not sure what this is all about, talk with a coach or any of the 230 Roots athletes who threw down last year. Or just sign up – we promise you won’t regret it. Bring the hype, because this is going to be a damn good year at Roots for...Read more

Calling all judges! We’re looking for a stellar team of volunteers to judge The Open workouts. Whether you’re already signed up for The Open and plan to compete or want to get involved in a different way, the judges MAKE The Open a huge success.  Soon, you’ll start to see many CrossFit Judges Course certificates grace the front desk as we head into The Open. Like proud parents hanging their kids’ artwork on the fridge, the coaching staff couldn’t be happier than when our athletes choose to take the course. The judges course is required for all affiliate managers who will validate Open workouts. It is recommended, yet not required, for individuals who will judge athletes in the Open, to take the course. At Roots, we have always made it part of our Open process that any individual who wishes (and we thank you for judging!) to judge athletes in The Open...Read more

Dear Roots Crew,  Over the past 15 years, I have often heard members from all walks of life express that they do not fit the “normal” profile of a CrossFitter. Some feel nervous in class because everyone’s been doing this longer; others were top-notch athletes in another arena and are unsure about their abilities in this setting, or they might be newcomers who are just starting to work out, realizing there is a lot of work to do. This self-doubt about belonging in class or within CrossFit has always rattled me because the qualities that define a CrossFitter are not related to physical abilities or capacity. To be a CrossFitter, you have to be willing to work and grind, accept coaching, put in the consistent effort to achieve the results you seek, and, yes, embrace the challenges that come with it. If you can own these elements of the program,...Read more
