2019 GetEastieFit Open Nights
The GetEastieFit Open Nights is our innovative way to make the CrossFit Games Open (click here to learn more about the CrossFit Games Open) more accessible and more fun for the entire community. We understand that there are many athletes (especially new CrossFiitters) who are tentative about signing up for the Open. In an effort to demystify the Open and encourage you all to participate, we are going to bring the Open to CrossFit Jeffries Point in the form of theGetEastieFit Open Nights. The Open Nights will consist of multiple teams, each of which will be led by one or two captains. The members of these teams will be performing the CrossFit Open workouts over the course of five weeks. The winning team will have bragging rights and a GetEastieFit Open Nights Cup display at the gym. Most athletes should participate. We had a blast last year. Do not miss out!
Registration
Registration for the GetEastieFit Intramural Open is $25 (paid to CJP, not Crossfit, Inc.). The registration fee will be used to buy new equipment for the gym. Register here for the GetEastieFit Open Nights and here for the CrossFit Games Open. Deadline to register is October 8th. The winning team will decide (from a pre-approved list) what new equipment to buy for the gym.
The Draft
Each Captain will have the opportunity to pick there athletes in a draft format. Everyone who register to the GetEastieFit Open Nights will have a team. The Captains had agreed to keep their teams from last time. New athletes joining Open Nights will be added to the draft for the Captains to choose. Being nice to your captain or buy her/him a FitAid or RxBar, might get you some bonus points!!!
For the athletes that wish to complete the Open Workouts Rx or as prescribed, you must follow the PERFORMANCE TRAINING PLAN and accumulate a few repetitions of some of the high skill movements (muscle ups, double unders, etc.). You can speak to Javy if you have any questions about standards or workout difficulty.
We encourage all athletes to register for the CrossFit Open. That way you can see how you stack up against other athletes, friends, co-workers or family. The deadline to register for the CrossFit Open, different to Open Nights, is October 14, 2019.
For those athletes that do sign up for the open, please join the CrossFit Jeffries Point team named CJP – GetEastieFit Team through the CJP affiliate on the CrossFit Games.
Workouts
Each workout is released Thursday evening at 8:00p. You have a couple of options to complete the workouts. All of the workouts need to be validated by a judge. The first option is to complete the workout on Fridays during GetEastieFit Open Night, most fun option! The second option is to complete the Open WOD during normal class hours on Fridays (6am, 7am and 9am). The third option is to complete the Open WOD during Open Gym (Saturday 10:30am to 12:30pm).
GetEastieFit Open Nights will start every Friday during the Open at 5:30pm until about 7:30pm or 8:00pm. Athletes will pair up with another for scoring and judging purposes. Athletes will sign up for heats when they arrive at the gym on Friday to perform the workout and to judge another athlete. After all athletes are done with their workout, everyone is welcome to bring drinks and share food with others to celebrate our accomplishments and enjoy each other’s company. Our primary goal for the Open is to make it fun and bring the CrossFit Jeffries Point community closer together!

Let’s do this,
CJP Staff
Honestly, I was thinking it was going to be like the other CrossFit boxes I had been to before CJP. I thought I wasn’t going to last and that my first class was going to be a try out. I was surprised by how much commitment and effort the coaches put into each of us to make us better, a month try out turned out to be 3 years of continuous work. What started as a couple days a week turned out to be a life time commitment.
I was brought to CrossFit because of the functionality it provides for every challenge life versus just bodybuilding or power lifting. CrossFit forces you to break through mental barriers and past what you thought you physical or mental limit was.
We have something at CJP that I see and appreciate at every CrossFit gym I’ve ever vistied: a community of capable, caring judges and athletes of all shapes and sizes united under one goal of helping each other to get as fit as possible. That was my expectation when I showed up here on Day One (June 2015), and that perception hasn’t changed at all in the four years since.
