Last week we kicked off the 2024 Prototype Open with our first challenge, as well as our head to head battle! The 2024 Open will be an exciting one, with new challenges and workouts that will have the athletes of all teams pushing their limits! 

The first head-to-head challenge took place Friday night. Each team picked one person to compete in the challenge. Damon Walsh (Team Blue), Nicole Croteau (Yellow Team), Tommy Flynn (Green Team), and Nunu Phan (Red Team). Where Tommy finished first!  It was a showdown of epic proportions, the four competitors took on WOD 24.1 to gain the most points for their team. This week we will be announcing the next four competitors that will face each other for the next head to head!

The first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Open was a challenge, testing athletes’ strength, endurance and mental toughness. WOD 24.1 was for time with a 15 minute time cap, consisting of 21, 15, 9 DB snatches and burpees. But it wasn’t that simple, having to complete all 21 DB snatches on one arm, following a set of 21 burpees, back to 21 DB snatches on the opposite arm and another set of 21 burpees, and so on. 

For the duration of the Open, all classes on Friday will be the workout for the open. New for this year we will be having our head-to-heads every Friday during the 5:30pm class. Come to the gym to cheer your team on! 

The first challenge of the open was 1 min max double unders. The top three men and women each earned 5 points for their team, while each participant earned one. More challenges to come this week.

Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
