Thanks to everyone who has already registered to participate in our Free OVC "OPEN" Performance Challenge starting January 7th and running through March 26th!
It's still not too late to join us! Email info@ovcrossfit.com, Sign-Up on Mindbody, or let Paul or JR know at the box!
This team based challenge will be scored with points being awarded on the basis of nutrition, attendance, performance, and Open participation.
While signing up is nice, completing the tasks outlined below over the next two weeks will fully show your commitment to this challenge.
Please read each section carefully and if you would have any questions feel free to email info@ovcrossfit.com.
Nutrition / Body Composition Check-In
- Between January 2nd - January 15th all participating athletes will need to do their baseline body composition check-in and provide the results to Paul or JR.
- Nutrition and body composition will be measured by utilizing 5 Star Nutrition's InBody Machine. Visit their location near the Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville, OH and tell them you are with OV CrossFit and are doing our performance challenge and would like to do your initial body composition.
- This a very simple process and only requires you to remove your shoes, stand on the machine, and input a few pieces of information.
- Once completed you will receive a piece of paper with your test results. This is what you will provide to Paul and JR for your check-in.
- Please note that we believe 5 Star Nutrition has some decent products available, however we do not personally recommend any products they may suggest during your visit. As with anything you put in your body we recommend you do your research or ask someone you trust before purchasing anything. Supplements are just that: Supplementations to your diet that should not be relied upon or used daily with the expectation that they will completely change your appearance or performance.
Performance Check-In
- During the week of January 8th - January 12th we will perform three baseline performance tests to accumulate baseline data.
- Your attendance in class or during Open Box to complete these workouts is required. If for some reason you are unable to attend on a day of these workouts, arrangements can be made so that you can complete the workout at another time when the box is open.
- This data will be recorded and compared with check-out data at the conclusion of the challenge.
Your participation and completion of the check-in activities listed above will act as your official registration for the challenge. This will allow us to then select teams from a pool of individuals who have committed themselves fully to participating.
Please note that if you are still interested in participating but have conflicts not allowing you to complete these activities during the given timeframes we can attempt to make accommodations to get them completed as soon as possible once you are available. Email info@ovcrossfit.com to arrange this.
Teams will be announced by the end of Week 2.
A cash prize will be awarded to the winning team, with additional prizes awarded for top performers and weekly throughout the Open.
Don't forget to pre-order your OPEN Performance Challenge baseball tee at the box now through January 15th!
Keep checking for additional updates and more information as we get started over the next few weeks!
