The CrossFit Open are just around the corner, and this year, we have something special planned exclusively for our Vondelgym community!
Event Details
The event runs from February 27th to March 17th.
Every week, we’ll be hosting a Friday Night Lights event at Vondelgym Zuid and Vondelgym Rotterdam! You can sign up for one of the time slots via Gymly, available one week in advance:
- Vondelgym Zuid: 16:00-18:00 and 18:00-20:00
- Vondelgym Rotterdam: 17:00-18:30 and 18:30-20:00
In Amsterdam, we’ll also host the three Open workouts during all Saturday and Sunday CrossFit classes in Zuid and West throughout those weeks. In Rotterdam we'll also host the workouts in the Saturday classes.
The Vondelgym Leaderboard
Unlike previous years, we’re making participation more accessible! While you can still sign up for the official Open via the CrossFit Games website, it’s not required to participate in our Friday Night Lights event!
Instead, we’ve created an exclusive Vondelgym leaderboard, where you can compete against fellow members. Every Friday, we’ll be giving out prizes to lucky winners who are registered on that leaderboard.
Later this year, we’re planning an in person event where the top athletes on the leaderboard will battle it out to determine the fittest Vondelgym member!
You don’t want to miss this, so make sure to sign up now!
Signing up is free via the following link: https://competitioncorner.net/events/16302/details
If you also sign up for the official Open via CrossFit Games Registration, we’ll validate your scores as well of course!
Questions?
Please read the FAQs below, and if you have any additional questions, talk to your coaches or reach out via crossfit@vondelgym.nl.

FAQ Vondelgym Leaderboard on competitioncorner
Do I need to upload my own scores? Yes, you must submit them yourself before the deadline.
Can I be on both the official CrossFit Games leaderboard and the Vondelgym leaderboard? Yes! You need to sign up for both separately. The Vondelgym leaderboard is free, while the official CrossFit Games Open costs $20.
Can I join Friday Night Lights if I’m not officially signed up for the Open via the Games website? Yes, but you must be signed up for either the Vondelgym leaderboard or the CrossFit Games leaderboard.
I only see RX Men and RX Women as categories, but I want to do the workouts scaled. Is that possible? Yes! For every workout, you can choose to submit your score as either RX or scaled. RX scores will automatically be ranked higher than scaled scores.
FAQ Official CrossFit Games Open

Do I need to be officially signed up to join Friday Night Lights in Zuid or Rotterdam? You must be signed up for either the Vondelgym leaderboard or the CrossFit Games leaderboard. You also need to secure a spot via Gymly.
Do I need to be officially signed up to do the Open workouts in regular classes? No, but members officially competing will have priority for space and equipment in the classes.

Can I do the Open workouts outside of class? Yes, but you must have a judge, follow all standards, and ensure you don’t disrupt classes.
