If you’ve been keeping up with our posts about the Open, hopefully you’re getting excited, if you’ve missed some of the content, check out this post. Our Facebook page also has a few videos you can watch to get the gist of whats going on. For right now I wanted to let you know where we are with regard to teams. As you know this year we’re making the Open about fun and community with less emphasis on making it to regionals (which don’t exist anymore…tear). Choosing teams is always a sensitive issue, but here at Thermal, we’re taking that right out of the equation; here’s how. Since your value as a participant is largely based on your ability to have fun, complete the workouts and show team support, randomizing teams from the outset is best. No one gets picked last, there are no clicks formed or people left out....Read more

For our newbies out there, the CrossFit Open consists of 5 workouts spread across 5 weeks that aim to find the fittest people in the world. Last year over 429,000 people participated in the Open. I know many of you will ask yourself, “Why should I do the Open? There’s no way I’m the fittest in the world.” For 99.99% of us, that is true and that’s why we are running the Intramural Open! In the Intramural Open, you’ll have the ability to contribute to a team every single week no matter your score. Go above and beyond in your spirit or performance and you can contribute even more. Most importantly, it’ll be the highlight of fun and community in our gym. So what exactly is the Intramural Open? It all starts with you registering for our Intramural Open via the link we will provide. As registrations roll in, we...Read more

Zack Rearick was CrossFit Thermal’s attendance leader in 2017 with 240 classes attended and recorded. CrossFit Thermal is happy to announce the “Committed Club”. With the New Year upon us we sometimes like to take stock of our lives in different ways. Sometimes we reaffirm our dedication to certain aspects of life, and other times we eliminate bad habits or influences that have effected us over the past year. In an effort to help you stay on track and also to celebrate those who are, we are starting a Committed Club. Each month starting now, we’ll be calculating attendance on a monthly basis. If you make it to class a minimum of 12 times in a month, you’re in the club! Club members will be entered into a monthly drawing for free swag and you’ll be part of a crew highlighted for that particular month. In order to be considered...Read more
