TAKE YOUR FITNESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL : CROSSFIT COMMUNITY CUP 2026 REGISTRATION IS NOW LIVE!

All athletes who completed the 2026 CrossFit Open and submitted scores for all three workouts will be assigned a competition level to continue their season at their affiliate with the start of the Community Cup. This in-affiliate competition will be a unique format for our local athletes to compete against others at a similar fitness level. Whether you’re a Pro-level competitor or just starting out, you’ll face others at your level, making every rep and lift meaningful and achievable.

While registering for The Open is a prerequisite to enrolling for The Cup, all Be Strong athletes will still have a chance to experience this new form of CrossFit competition. All three Community Cup WODS will be done in class, as part of our regularly scheduled programming.

For our Open athletes, we can’t wait to see what CrossFit has planned for us! Be sure to sign up (registration link below) for three more worldwide WODS and see where the rest of the world is when you’re done. Read more about the Community Cup on the official CrossFit website.

At Be Strong, Saturdays are all about community.

Today, we had three current and former CrossFit Games athletes training right alongside members experiencing their very first Saturday at Be Strong, all welcomed by our Saturday regulars as they took on a Hero WOD.

Between the CrossFit classes, the 8:30 a.m. Power crew crushed their openers, hitting their last heavy deadlifts before they compete on July 25.

Today was a great reminder of how amazing the Be Strong members and community truly are. This is what makes Be Strong special.

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be Strong.

“I started at Be Strong because I crave challenges daily, and I know CrossFit can be one of the biggest fitness challenges out there.

Being part of Be Strong has helped me mentally by pushing me to face my doubts regarding my fitness. And it helped me lose 60lbs in my 5.5 months of this journey. All while helping me prepare to re-enlist at a physical level I’ve never been at.

My favorite part of Be Strong is the coaches! Always helping to ensure everyone is performing the exercises correctly and pushing us to achieve higher goals than what we set for ourselves.

Walking through the door for the first time is scary, however you don’t have to be scared. Be Strong isn’t just a gym, it’s a community where everyone is welcoming, supportive and pushes you to keep striving towards whatever your goals are.”
