The Open has always been a huge community event for us the last 6 years at CrossFit Palm Beach. Last year, we had over 130 athletes sign up for the CrossFit Games Open and participate in our intramural CFPB Open. This year, we are making a few key changes to our in-house Open. One of the biggest changes is we are only counting the first attempt of each Open workout towards the intramural team score, and are encouraging all of our athletes to do “one and done” this year. This will bring even more fun and excitement to our Friday classes and Friday Night Bar Fights event, and improve the class experience on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday when athletes would normally be retesting the workout. This episode covers everything you need to know to run a successful 2019 Open, including sponsors, prizes, skill seminars, and how to leverage the Open for improving retention and signing up new members.

The CrossFit Open starts this week! It's one of the largest opportunities for marketing and sales in 2018 for CrossFit gyms. But it's also one of the periods of greatest overwork: you're possibly adding class times to the schedule, amping up the hype, dealing with competitive stress, ordering equipment (fingers crossed), hosting parties and getting your coaches realigned around the rules every week. And how do you program workouts around Castro's Big Reveals? Jason Brown of BoxProgramming.com is here today to give you some tips to keep your clients energized, excited and injury-free during The Open. We'll also talk about what happens AFTER the Open. Even as the first gym to do the Intramural Open, Catalyst sees a lot of burnout immediately after the CrossFit Open ends. It's the end of winter here, and cabin fever mixes with coach fatigue. Clients are tired of cycling the barbell and doing pullup variations, and they want to just.get.outside! Jason has some good insights into programming novelty and specialty programs after the Open too. Jason Brown will be speaking at our 2018 Summit. This year's Summit is already filling FAST, and we haven't even announced our Keynote yet! The Summit is two days with two separate tracks of presenters: one for coaches, and one for owners. Senior TwoBrain mentors are speaking on high-level topics this year, and we're bringing in some of the top coaches in the industry to speak to YOUR coaches. We do lectures, yes. We do group breakouts, role-playing and goal-setting sessions. Sponsors provide awards for TwoBrain gyms, and the TOP reason most people give for attending is the opportunity to mix with the top gyms in the industry.

During our Senior Mentoring Team Meeting at the TwoBrain Workshop last weekend, I asked, “What’s the biggest opportunity in front of the CrossFit community that no one is seeing yet?” Two years ago, that was adding nutrition programs. We introduced the world to a simple solution in HSN, and other services have cropped up since. That’s been huge for many. Before that, the opportunity was the Intramural Open; before that, it was Bright Spots. We agreed the biggest opportunity for some affiliates is to help other local business owners. This might sound like a left-field idea, but here’s why we love it: CrossFit has created over 15,000 new entrepreneurs. Though it’s very, very easy to start a new CrossFit gym, it’s very hard to keep one open. So we all jump in with both feet, and then SCRAMBLE to get profitable as quickly as possible. Then we hammer as hard as we can to add staff, and then to level up our businesses to true entrepreneurship instead of just owning a job. Heavy loads, long distances, for time. Most CrossFit gyms have to be successful before the end of their first lease. Most new businesses are now stared as “side hustles”–driving an Uber, doing task-based one-off “jobs”, or selling expertise as a VA. We have everything on the line. We’re just desperate enough to try stuff–and fail–fast. And though the network between affiliates is informal, we DO talk. In the middle of all the Kill Cliff/FitAid questions on Facebook, there IS some progression in our thinking. Granted, we started behind most entrepreneurs (we used to think “profit” was bad) but we’ve pulled ahead. And common knowledge in CrossFit is uncommon knowledge elsewhere. So when a CrossFit athlete who owns a machine shop asked for my advice this week, I said, “Oh, that’s simple.” because I solved that problem in my box seven years ago. When a cafe owner asked if she needed a website, I said, “Just a two-pager. But you could REALLY use a subscription model.” And then I told her how to make a great living in the food industry without crazy overhead. And she baked muffins for my kids. I got the idea from other gyms. When a local screen printer asked how to “get his name out there”, I suggested he focus on his current clients a bit more instead of worrying about attracting new clients. This is why I opened the Workshop in Sault Ste. Marie: because entrepreneurship can save my sinking city. But I believe it can save the world. And you, my friend, can do a lot to help YOUR city. Bonus: entrepreneurs make IDEAL clients for CrossFit gyms. You’ll hear more about the implementation of this idea in the next few weeks and months. But here’s a special bonus: while I still had three of the mentors at the Workshop, I dropped a microphone in our midst and put them all on a Hot Seat. I fired questions at them: “How would you get more clients for a hairdresser?” “If you owned a gym and had to make $5000 in ten days, how would you do it?” I gave them each a beer, hit “RECORD”, and let it flow. I’ll publish that episode on our podcast today. We’re calling it the Mentor Hot Seat, and I’ll do one every time I gather with this crew of growing TwoBrian Mentors. Enjoy. I sure did.
