WE ACCEPT DROP-INS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH APPROPRIATE CROSSFIT EXPERIENCE
welcome
We are fortunate to have guests from around the world drop in and train with us. This includes participation in the CrossFit OPEN (Scroll down for more details on the open). We want you to make our gym your home away from home. (We do expect that you have CrossFit experience before joining any of our classes. We are strict on this rule, so if you have any questions about this, please contact us before arriving for class. Being really fit is not a pre-requisite. Knowing how to move safely is what’s important. It keeps you safe!)
If you are here for a casual drop in, the cost is $30 plus taxes. If you buy a shirt when you are here, we’ll charge you an extra $20. T-shirts are regularly $35 plus taxes. That’s $50 for both a T-shirt and a drop-in. (Prices do not include taxes.) If you plan on training with us on a frequent basis while here, we have 1 and 2 week passes. We also offer 10x and 20x punch card, but those do expire within 6 months, so be sure before you buy. You can see our prices on our rates page.
Once upon a time, Crossfit was all about being prepared for the unknown and unknowable. Nowadays, so many of our drop ins are on a specialized program. Which is great! If you want to do your own programming, please register for an open gym session. But, if you come to a group class, expect to do our programming. We will always scale and tailor workouts to suit your needs, we are extremely accommodating!
We ask all of our clients to pre-register for classes, and the same goes for guests. (We do this because we limit the number of athletes per class.) If you plan on purchasing any apparel or a pass option you don't see available for online purchase, we still want you to reserve your spot by paying the drop in rate online and completed the liability waiver prior to arrival.
Entering your credit card details and pre-purchasing your drop in fee is necessary prior to arrival. We see way too many guests reserve spots and never attend. We'd like to avoid this as it takes away the opportunity for other guests and our members to attend. We accept Visa,M/C and AMEX.
After paying the $30 drop-in (Once you are here.), there would be an extra $20 plus taxes for the purchase of a T-shirt.

To sign up for classes head to our schedule and create a profile as a new user. Once you’ve created a profile you can register for classes. In order to reserve, the system will charge your credit card to reserve a space.
THE CROSSFIT OPEN
2024
The Open is a special time for Crossfitters! And if you signed up for the Open, and are in Whistler over that time, we want to help you get your workout in! Over the years we've helped many guests do their workouts and be judged, and they've helped us with some judging along the way.
Friday night will be our community throwdown night. Having said that, Friday night isn't the only time you can do the OPEN at our gym. We will add additional times where you can register to do the OPEN WOD. Please have a look at our schedule for details. Look for the class that says 2024 OPEN WOD, and register away. Unlike a normal class, we look to finish on time, and end on time. For the open, that is unknowable. So, upon arrival, look for a heat sign in sheet. That will give you an indication of what time we estimate you will be able to do start the workout.
Please do your best to be aware of the workout, movement standards, as well as anything relevant to that workout. Upon completion of the workout, your judge will give your a score card. YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR SCORE! WE DO NOT DO THAT FOR YOU. Our affiliate name is CrossFit Whistler. And we will validate scores that are submitted prior to the deadline.
Every year that schedule accommodates most people, but not everyone. So, if you can't make any of those times, here are your options. As you read on, please keep in mind that we are not trying to charge more than our drop in rate of $30 per class. But we also have classes to run, clients to prioritize clients, and a small gym to make everything work.
We do have some “open gym” classes on our schedule. That is a great time to do an open WOD. But, a judge on call waiting on you to arrive is not a fair expectation. You can bring someone to judge you, that will work. If you need to have someone on call to judge you, we do charge for this fee. Please enquire if you need to hire. But truth be told, we’d prefer one of the previous options work for you.
If you are looking to do the workout right when it's released, then unfortunately we “May” not be able to help you. I say this because without prior knowledge of the workout, and how to properly judge it, set it up, etc… I can say without hesitation that we won't be prepared. There is potential for doing it later in the evening. However, that cannot be determined until the workout is released. And we know how to execute the details.
here to stay?
We offer a variety of passes, so if your visit to whistler is more permanent, we’d be happy to make your Opus Athletics your new place to train. Please visit our rates page for longer pricing options.
So to sum things up, we’d love to have you join us for a workout! But, we need you to sign in to classes, please don’t just show up. You can always call or email to get yourself registered in.
WHEN IN ROME
You might find that our gym runs a little differently than the one you train at. Should you feel uncomfortable or have questions, please bring it up to our trainer so that we can help you out. We can accommodate any injury or modification out there, so you have nothing to fear. If you feel the workout needs modification, we are always happy to assist.
Lastly, we are not set up for you to do your own programming unless you arrive at Open Gym Times. So if you’d like to train with us, be prepared to follow what we are doing. (We do our best to accommodate slight changes to programming if we can, but our priority is to run the class.) If you have a special request that falls outside what’s described, email us and we’ll do what we can.
I CROSSFIT, BUT MY FRIEND DOESN'T - can he or she come to a Crossfit class?
Unfortunately, to attend a CrossFit class, you need CrossFit experience. It has zero to do with fitness level, as their fitness level could well exceed the average person, or maybe fitter than any of our clients. But, we have no way of ensuring safe execution of the exercises. All risk no reward would be how I would put it. This policy is to ensure we can provide quality training to our clients and guests, and cannot do so unless all of our guests have CrossFit experience.
The one exception to the rule, is someone witou CrossFit experience can attend a RideFit session. No experience necessary to attend that session.
