Chimera Trials

CHIMERA TRIALS

Mixed Pairs Competition | June

Chimera Trials is our next evolution of competition at CrossFit Chimera.

This is a mixed-sex pairs competition, open to both RX and Scaled athletes, designed to test more than just engine or strength.

Across the day, you’ll be tested as a team and as an individual, rewarding well-rounded athletes who can work together, adapt, and perform under pressure.

Expect the same high-energy setup you’ve come to expect from our comps:

• Loud music
• Big atmosphere
• Well-thought-out workouts
• Clear standards
• Podium prizes on the line

There will be 3 workouts, no fluff, no filler.

Each workout will challenge a different aspect of fitness and teamwork, with moments where you’ll rely on your partner and moments where you’ll need to stand on your own.

This is a proper competition, but still true to what Chimera is about — community, effort, and pushing boundaries. Overcome your limits.
