What type of sports
event is the CrossFit Auckland Games?
The CrossFit
Games are the world’s premier test to find the fittest men
and women on earth. The annual CrossFit Auckland Games is a local event
that attracts CrossFit athletes New Zealand wide. CrossFit
is growing at such a rapid pace you will find a CrossFit gym
in every major city and small towns alike. Mention CrossFit
and you’ll know someone, who knows someone who is doing
it!
CrossFit’s definition of fitness means being ready for the unknown and the unknowable, so the events change every year and are not announced until just before the event begins. This requires the athletes to train across a broad range of functional fitness genres in preparation for the sport. This may include complex Olympic weightlifting or gymnastic based movements mixed with endurance or athletic tasks. CrossFit Auckland members would say that the training regime prepares them for life and anything that might come their way.
This is why the CrossFit Games name their champions the fittest on earth!
The 2011 CrossFit Auckland Games hosts many of New Zealand’s top CrossFit competitors, giving them a forum to practice their sport and rank themselves against other New Zealand athletes; many of which are in preparation for the 2012 international CrossFit Games competition.
So if you want to check out the fastest growing fitness movement on the planet, visit CrossFit Auckland this Sunday, spectators are welcome and entry is free.
