The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser is a CrossFit event for the benefit of CrossFit affiliates affected by COVID-19 around the globe. The temporary closures and distance between us cannot keep this community apart. Affiliates around the world have demonstrated this through their actions over the past few weeks. Now, the entire CrossFit community has an opportunity to come together in support of our affiliates.
Over a three-week period, CrossFit will release three classic and accessible workouts that can be performed by participants of any ability level. You can do the workouts from home. You do not need a judge. You do not need to have your scores validated by an affiliate, and you do not need to film your performance. Each workout will come in two versions: “Rx’d” for those who are accustomed to CrossFit training and “scaled” for those new to CrossFit training and/or without access to common workout equipment.
Everyone who participates will have their name displayed on the community leaderboard and will be able to create smaller leaderboards among friends, family, and other members of their affiliate using leaderboard hashtags.
Registration is now OPEN on the Crossfit Games website and will remain open for the duration of the competition. The first workout will be released on Friday 3 April. We will do the WODs as part of our regular TWENTY FOUR SLEVEN programming on Sundays, starting this Sunday 5 April. To get that special CrossFit Open FNL feeling, we will be hosting a zoom session each Sunday at 11:00.
Sunday 5 April at 11:00

Meeting ID: 819-392-535
The deadline to submit your scores for all three workouts is Friday 24 April.
How to get Involved
Anyone can participate in the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser. Payment is not required. We understand that many face financial difficulties at this time and want everyone to have the opportunity to participate without barriers. Your participation is, in itself, a strong form of support and encouragement to the affiliate community.
When you register, you will have the option to select a contribution amount ranging from $20 to $1,000 or participate at no cost. When the competition closes, the proceeds will be distributed to Sleven in accordance with our roster of supporters. CrossFit, Inc. will distribute all registration funds to Sleven.
Sleven has had an amazing turnout for the Home Alone Open and it’s been fantastic seeing so many of you share videos on our Instagram! We are the box with most entries in the competition with 40 which we are extremely proud of.
We have several members placing high up on the leaderboard and with 4 workouts remaining, there’s everything to play for!
We already have members organising group Zoom sessions and wanted to open up a session to the whole membership! On Saturday, at 11am, we will host the Home Alone Open WFH 4 with coach Jamie! There will be a warm-up included and top bantz!

TWENTY FOUR SLEVEN goes Global!
The response we have had to our TWENTY FOUR SLEVEN programme has been nothing short of sensational. We have had members, ex-members and welcomed many new members to the Sleven family. This week, in addition to the Bodyweight option, we added a Bells option for those lucky enough to have some kit at home. We will continue to add and improve to the programming as we go along, we’re only getting started!
What’s been most impressive is the amount of participants we’ve had worldwide. We are putting together some promo videos and would love to include originals of you doing your workouts all over the globe. If you’d like to be part of this video, can you please send us a copy?
