Open Gym Schedule & Registration

There will no longer be supervised open gym on Fridays from 4-6pm or Sundays from 3-5pm.

If you haven’t already signed up for Open Gym, you can do so HERE .  This membership is a $15/month add-on. There is no contract, so you can cancel at anytime if you find you’re not using the service.

You won’t be charged for this until February, so if you’d like to try the open gym for free be sure to register ASAP and be sure to cancel if you don’t want to be billed in February.

 

Trial Classes

We’re currently working on staffing a 4:00pm class on Fridays and entertaining a 7:00am class (either daily or Tue/Thu). Both of these classes would be implemented on a trial basis for 8 weeks, where the class would be added to our regular schedule if it averages more than 6 people over the trial period. Further details regarding start date will be communicated sometime soon, but we wanted to let you know this was being worked on behind the scenes. 

 

More Machines = Bigger Engines

You may notice simple movements like rowing, biking and burpees popping up in our conditioning work more frequently. This isn’t by accident, it’s an intentional short-term bias in our programming. With the CrossFit Open being less than six weeks away, we’re looking to build a big engine and stay healthy. The beautiful thing about the machines and simple movements like burpee variations are they are low impact, low skill and allow you to really push the intensity without being limited by skill or strength. 

You’ll also notice more time-based intervals to maximize relative intensity based on the individual. What does this mean? It means if doing 15 calories in 40 seconds is my threshold, but doing 9 for someone else in class is equally as hard, we’re both getting identical benefits from the training (aka the goal of scaling). The other benefit is it allows you to modulate your intensity based on how you’re feeling day-to-day.

The Week Ahead (March 10-15)

March 9, 2025
PROGRAMMING It's the final week of the Open! We'll be dialing things back on the lifting this week to recharge before starting our new training block on March 17th. Monday we'll be giving the shoulders, arms and legs a break following 25.2. Tuesday we'll be targeting pressing to help offset all the pulling from 25.2, with lunges being slotted to wake the legs back up and help flush out any lingering stiffness. Wednesday we have a flow day, with an intent on relaxed pacing and stability on the Turkish Get-Ups and pulling strength/stamina on the legless rope climbs. Thursday we have some aerobic power intervals, but be cautious with the intensity you bring. The intent is to hit these at a 6-7 RPE to help flush and fire things up heading into the final Open workout. If anyone has questions regarding FNL or the after hours event, be sure to email Matt for more information matt@crossfitgreenville.com . Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication.

The Week Ahead (February 24 - March 1)

February 23, 2025
CONGRATULATIONS COACH BEN! Big shoutout to Ben Ward for becoming a United States Citizen this past week! Ben is such a huge part of our team and community and we're so happy for him. If you see him in the gym this week, be sure to say congratulations. We'll be doing the CrossFit workout "1776" to celebrate Coach Ben after we wrap the Open. NEW TRAINING BLOCK February 24th - March 15th Strength One of our main goals during this block is to test our 1RM's for our primary strength lifts (deadlift, back squat, front squat, power clean, bench and shoulder press). We've already tested 1RM's in the power clean and front squat over the last two weeks. If you're unable to make an upcoming testing day, or missed the power clean or front squat, I strongly encourage you to use Open Gym access to make up testing. We will be doing a strength biased training block with percentages after the Open, so it will be important to have accurate lifting numbers. Conditioning The primary task of the Open is testing fitness. We've hit it hard over the last six weeks, so at this point our focus should be more on maintaining fitness levels and feeling fresh for the Open test on Friday. The workouts won't be watered down, but it's important that you regulate your intensity so you're not trashed by the end of the week. Weekly Template Due to the rigidity of the Open, we'll be using a fixed weekly template to ensure recovery by the time we test the workout on Monday - Intervals Tuesday - Strength Testing Wednesday - Longer Conditioning Thursday - Knees Over Toes + Light Olympic Lifting Friday - Open workout Saturday - Partner/team workout (TBA) MONDAY EMOM x 20:00 Min 1: Toes to Bar Min 2: Hang Squat Clean (95/65) Min 3: Double Under Min 4: Row Calories Min 5: Rest Aim for 30-45 seconds of consistent work each round. The goal is to hit the same number of reps for each movement across the 20 minutes. TUESDAY Baseline Testing Shoulder Press 1RM Deadlift 1RM WEDNESDAY AMRAP x 30:00 400m Run 8 Burpee Pull-ups 16 Box Jumps (24/20) 100m Farmers Carry (50s/35s) THURSDAY 3 sets 10 Pull Overs on Medicine Ball 10 DB Upright Rows (per side) 10 ATG Split Squats (per side) 10 DB Bench Good Morning Every 45-seconds x 12 sets 1 Snatch @ RPE 5-6 FRIDAY Open 25.1 Workout will be announced on Thursdays at 3:00pm on the CrossFit Games website!
