Five Reasons to Compete in the Fall Classic

With Full Range's first-ever team competition just a month away, we decided to make a list of the most compelling reasons for you (and your team) to take part in this unique event.

1) Testing Your Fitness

We designed the events of the Fall Classic to test the full spectrum of energy systems and capacities.  From the purely CNS-based 1-RM Clean & Jerk, to the anaerobic/lactic endurance Assault Bike Relay, to the long, aerobic-based Team Chipper (more details on that one next week), we want this event to leave "no stone unturned" in regards to exposing the athletes to different challenges.  By giving your best effort in every workout, you will be able to finish the day knowing where you (and your team) excelled, and where you need to put in more work once you get back to training.  Good tests, and the results you see from them, should provide you with a new insight into where you are as an athlete, and how well you perform under a more intense environment than a typical training day.

2) Learning to Work as a Team

While we enjoy regularly including partner- and team-based workouts into our training programs, there is a much different feeling when you and your team are competing in an event with judges, spectators, leaderboards, etc.  Will you be someone who loses their cool, and snaps at their teammates when things start to go differently than you had planned? Or, will you support your fellow competitors, and give 110% not just for yourself, but for them?  Competing on a team, as anyone who grew up playing sports knows, is a lot more fun than competing as an individual, but is not without its challenges.  The Fall Classic will give athletes a chance to share in the struggles, as well as the glory, of leaving it all out on the floor.

3) Having Fun

Speaking of fun, the whole purpose of sport, or competition of any type, is to celebrate and honor our gifts.  The "sport of fitness" has given us the opportunity to turn exercise into a game, so that we can feel the fulfillment of personal growth, while not always realizing that we are (physically) suffering while doing it!The Fall Classic is meant to be fun.  We are not holding this event to beat anyone down, or to determine whether or not someone is "worthy" to make it to the next level of competition; We are doing this to provide a great testing environment, to see people push their limits, and to have a good time doing it!

4) Prizes

While not the most important reason to compete, we are going to be giving away some awesome prizes from our generous sponsors, including, but not limited to:RPM Speed Ropes for all podium-placewinnersXEndurance supplement packagesVia Prive gift cardsPlus a bunch more from our other event sponsors, including Again Faster, Reebok, SFH, and Kaela Rose Massage, just to name a few.Also, all competitors will get an event t-shirt, and, if you know us at Full Range, we take our t-shirts very seriously when it comes to quality.

5) Because the Price is Going Up...

On Monday, September 14th!  The current registration fee is $249/team, but will increase to $319/team on September 14th.  We are hoping to sell out all 30 team spots before then, so get yourself (and your team) signed up today!To register, head over here: https://full-range-crossfit.theboxhq.com/events/2015-full-range-fall-classic-team-competitionFor more info, and to stay updated with sponsors and workout announcements, check out the event Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/370991309766227/
