Divisions

RX (AKA Titans)

If you RX at competitions or the CrossFit Open then this division is for you.

Intermediate (AKA Spartans)

Spartans will be 'almost RX', this division features all but the highest skilled gymnastics at a lower volume than for our Titans.

Everyday (AKA Gladiators)

An open age group, from 18-80, our Gladiators category is a great place to start your competition experience, if you generally scale workouts in the Open or at the gym then give Gladiators a try.

Masters RX (AKA Titans)

Legends is our 35+ RX category. If this division isn’t for you we know you’ll fit in to our Spartan or Gladiators categories perfectly.

Teens RX (AKA Descendants)

Our 12-16 year old age category. Online qualifiers and workouts at our in-person finals will be split into two age groups (12-14 & 15-16) with weights adapted to suit the category.
