Starting Sunday morning at 9am, your workout is going to take on a new immediacy. When you arrive at the Park, Adrian will roll the Hopper and pick the workout – ON THE SPOT. You know that feeling when you check the site, first thing in the morning, and see the WOD? Well, mi amigo, that's you ripping the band-aid off as fast as you can. This? This is peeling it away with agonizing slowness.
You want to feel control in life? Tackle something beyond your control. If you can handle the Hopper, you can handle anything.
The Hopper WOD was popularized in the original CrossFit games in 2007 (only 70 participants – no prequalifier!) As a randomized test of fitness (heavy weights for long distances, and fast) it's become a favourite of CrossFit gyms worldwide. Your entire workout – exercises, reps, duration, weight, speed – is determined randomly.
