2025 CrossFit Season
HQ just released their updates to the 2025 season (here) and this does change our journey for nearly everyone at The Dark Place. We’ll quickly provide some updates on how this affects various competitors. (for more about us, go here).
Impact
Our kickoff cycle was initially planned for 12 weeks of off-season style training. Now that the Open is a much bigger jumping off point for the majority of athletes, we will cut the off-season in half to just six weeks in length. Further, look for some some minor updates to off-season training here and there that have the Open in mind while we continue to build strength and foundational skills.
Starting December 23, we’ll kickoff a fresh in-season cycle, 12 weeks in length, that prepares us for the Open with the goal of advancement to later rounds. This pivot is essential for Semi-finals hopefuls and all around athletes who want to do their very best during the CrossFit Open. Look for more details just before this cycle drops.
What about Games Athletes?
For our Games Athletes, we don’t see a ton of immediate impacts to your season. We’ll prepare a mini-peak for the Open in a way that doesn’t intefere with core training.
For Games Athletes who will need to do their best at Semi’s, we’ll prepare a more aggressive scheduled post-Open that prepares you for that moment so your ticket to the big show is punched.
For Games Athletes that are a ‘shoe-in,’ we’ll have you ready but keep your long-haul plans in mind so your one and only peak of the year hits during competition time in August.
