The first UK airing of the Reebok CrossFit advert was on Sky Sports 1 on Sunday 4th March after the Spurs v Man Utd game. The 60 sec ad was shown in the first ad break post whistle before the post match commentary.
A further big 60 sec slot will then follow on Monday 5th March during the Coronation Street to be aired that day.
More to follow but just wanted you all to know of these for now. .

Ok guys, earlier this month I asked you all to get much more in the habit of recording your results consistently, both WOD and lifts - and on the most part thank you for doing this. As mentioned then, one of main reason for this is that you can chart your improvements and you have a tangible record of what you have done. In the next couple of weeks we will begin to introduce Max Effort days (some of you may already be aware of the Max Effort Black Box deal) Very simply this is a strength bias that plugs in real well to what we do with CrossFit. [If you want to learn more about it then there is loads on the Performance Menu, in forums, or of course you could just ask me.] For this we are going to be working on % of your 1 RM in your Focus, hence the reason you need to know your numbers - don’t worry we have calculators you just need to make sure you know your numbers and keep recording all the data! If you can hit all the ME days then you are going to get the greatest strength gain. Now if you cant make all the ME days don’t get too worried as you are still going to get the great benefits you are used to out of the rest of the programme. So remember Strength is a Choice ...what you gonna choose ? Rudds

How does it work?
.
Registration opens on the 1st of Feb and goes live form there. Every affiliate signs up as a location to do the WOD's, individuals sign up to do the WOD's and then the affiliate verifies the scores and job done! All you have to do is sign up here (http://games.crossfit.com/) and create an account, pay a small fee to enter and your away. All Wod's will be judged and scored and made sure that every rep is good to go.
.
The WOD's
.
The Open will post one workout per week for five weeks, beginning at 5 p.m. PT on February 22. Athletes will have until Sunday at 5 p.m. PT each week to submit their results. If you miss this deadline then its very hard to get your scores in... its game over!! Its on you!!
.
The Catagories and What Happens Next.
.
Individual.
.
From the open, the top 60 athletes in each region will move on to the second stage of the competition, Regionals. Each Regional will take place over a 3 day competition. Seventeen Regional competitions, covering the entire world will take place each weekend from April 27 to May 27. At the Regional level, individuals are judged, reps are counted for each workout. The top 3 men & women will then progress to the third and final stage of the competition – the CrossFit Games at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. This years Games will run from July 13-15. Could this be you??
.
Team
.
On February 22nd, the team competition starts with the Open. All of a team’s members must register on the Games site. The team captain then must set up a team account and add the members of their team.
.
For the first time ever, affiliates may have more than one team. Once the Open begins, however, athletes cannot be added or moved between teams.
.
Team athletes will complete the five Open workouts like individual competitors. If an athlete chooses to register with a team, the athlete can still compete in the individual competition at the Regional level, if they qualify. A team’s top three male and female scores in the week’s workout will contribute to the team’s standings.
.
At the conclusion of the Open, the top 30 teams in each Region will advance to Regionals. A team’s Regional roster must draw from the group of athletes that represented it during the Open. Teams are comprised of three men and three women.
.
Over the course of three days, six team members will complete workouts together. Sometimes, only two members will do the workout, sometimes four, sometimes all six. No more than three teams will advance to the CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup.
.
Masters
.
The Masters competition is for athletes ages 45 and older. For the second year, the Masters level competition will be split into four age categories - 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, and 60-plus.
.
Masters athletes will register in the Open, complete the workouts just as the indviduals. Some age divisions will have modified standards, but all workouts must be completed as prescribed.
.
Masters competitors will not have to compete at the Regional level. The top 20 in each age category will receive invitations to compete at the CrossFit Games.
.
Everyone in the gym can be involved in this. We are planning so really good events to get these WOD's done and may even use different locations!! UH OH!! Please get involved guys and make a big effort with this.
.
For more information ask Pete or Rudds.
