It's CrossFit Games Week

If you've been around CrossFit for a while, you probably know exactly what this week means. If you're new, welcome to one of the most exciting weeks of the year within the CrossFit community.

It's CrossFit Games week.

The CrossFit Games are the annual competition that brings together the fittest athletes from around the world to determine who will earn the title of Fittest on Earth. Athletes qualify through a season that begins with the worldwide CrossFit Open before advancing through multiple stages of competition. By the time they reach the Games floor, they've earned their place among the very best.

For a few days, the entire CrossFit community turns its attention to the competition.

Workouts are announced, records are broken, new champions are crowned, and the world gets to see what years of dedication, discipline, and consistency can produce.

For many of us, watching the Games is about much more than elite fitness.

It's inspiring.

Every athlete competing started exactly where all of us did. They walked into an affiliate for the first time. They learned how to squat. They struggled through workouts. They celebrated first pull ups, first double unders, and first personal records.

The Games remind us of what is possible when hard work compounds over time.

We've been fortunate enough to experience the Games in person many times over the years. There is nothing quite like it. Thousands of CrossFitters from around the world gather in one place, cheering for athletes, celebrating incredible performances, and connecting over a shared passion for fitness.

It's one of those events that reminds you just how special this community really is.

This year would have been an especially exciting one to attend as the CrossFit Games celebrate their 20th anniversary.

In fact, CrossFit approached Emma to hire her to photograph the Games this week. It was an incredible opportunity and a testament to the reputation she's built behind the lens. Unfortunately, she'd already committed to photographing multiple weddings this week and weekend, commitments she had made long CrossFit asked. But maybe next year.

While we won't be there in person this year, we'll certainly be watching.

Whether you've followed the Games for years or this is your very first one, we encourage you to tune in. Watch a few events. Cheer for the incredible performances. Take in the atmosphere and the excitement. If you don’t know anything of the athletes, or anyone to watch, we would highly suggest you keep your eye on Emma Lawson, one of our very promising young Canadians.

The CrossFit Games represent the very top of our sport, but they also represent something much bigger.

They remind us why we train.

Not because we all want to compete at the Games, but because we believe in becoming a little stronger, a little fitter, and a little better than we were yesterday.

Enjoy the week. It's one of the best traditions in CrossFit, and we're excited to watch another chapter in the sport's history unfold.

Don’t forget we have some new retro summer shirt designs in stock, but they’re selling out fast. Get your’s before the size and colour is gone.
