Mike Collette • March 12, 2022

The Prototype Open has officially begun and we are through our first week of action!

The CAPTAINS have put together TWO AMAZING TEAMS that are going to be battling it out each and every week! With that said I do have to give a special shout-out to Caitlin Jaeger and Jack Levy (Captains of Miyagi-Do) and Lauren Palmateer and Keivan Russo (Captains of Cobra Kai). They have been INCREDIBLE thus far going above and beyond, making the 2022 Prototype Open SO AWESOME. We want to thank all of you very much!!!!

To give you the breakdown and overview of Week 1, check out the graphics below as we have all the scores, highlights, and stats that will certainly blow your mind! So scroll down and check it out!

 

Prototype Open Challenge 1.1 & 1.2

Each week we will be releasing a challenge that can earn you some additional points for your team. Each challenge will have a time cap to get it done (24 hours for most) and will have multiple levels that you can participate in based on your level of fitness OR how hard you want to work.

Here was challenge 1.1: 

This challenge wasn’t easy BUT there was an option for every athlete who signed up to attempt for their team!

Now let’s talk about 22.1!

The Prototype Open follows the CrossFit Games Open workouts as they are announced every Thursday afternoon at 3 pm ET. The difference is we have created an Intramural style event which has been going on for the past 7 years that allows all of our members to participate and contribute to a team to crown The Prototype Open Champion!

22.1 was the first Open workout that was announced. 22 refers to the year (2022) and the 1 is week 1… just in case you were wonderingA yellow smiley face with a red tongue sticking out.

21.2 was super sneaky AND a lot harder than many predicted it to be after it was announced.

The great thing that started with last year’s CrossFit Open is that they have multiple versions of the workout that have made it incredibly more inclusive to people, especially since we have been living in a year where many people couldn’t come into a gym.

Here was the workout in case you missed it:

After the announcement of 21.2, our captains represented their teams and went head to head to get The Prototype Open kicked off on the right foot and they did not disappoint! They went LIVE in our Members Only Group on Facebook and got after it!!

Shout out to the two captains Lauren and Caitlin for going head to head to earn some extra points for their team!

After the head-to-head battle royale, everyone had to wait a little longer than normal, due to a snow storm Friday. But it’s ok because the house was PACKED at every class on Monday and nearly EVERYONE got this workout in! And if they didn’t do it on Monday, they got it in at open gym on Sunday (10am-12pm during the Open)!

Here are some pictures from 22.1!

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.
