The Rare Breed Intramural Open: More Than Just a Competition

At Rare Breed, we believe fitness should be fun, inclusive, and community-driven. That’s why we host the Intramural Open—an in-house competition designed not just to test your fitness but to bring our community together in a way that strengthens bonds beyond the gym floor. While traditional competitions may focus on who’s the strongest or fastest, our Intramural Open is all about connection, camaraderie, and good old-fashioned fun.

Why We Do the Intramural Open

In any gym, it's easy to stick to familiar faces—attending the same class times, working out with the same group of people, and keeping interactions within your comfort zone. But at Rare Breed, we prioritize community. The Intramural Open breaks down those barriers, introducing athletes from different class times, fitness levels, and backgrounds to one another. Over the course of four weeks, our members forge new friendships, cheer each other on, and create lasting memories.

More Than Just Workouts

Unlike a traditional competition, where the focus is solely on performance, our Intramural Open is structured around team spirit and participation. Of course, there are workouts to tackle—including some classic hero WODs—but it’s the fun and creativity that truly define this event. Each week, teams take on a variety of challenges that go beyond the barbell:

• Dance-offs that showcase hidden talents (and some questionable rhythm!)
• Team spirit contests with crazy outfits, themed workouts, and gym-wide hype
• Mini-games and social challenges that encourage interaction and laughter

This event isn’t about the fittest athlete in the gym—it’s about the most spirited team, the athletes who show up, bring the energy, and fully immerse themselves in the competition. The more engaged a team is, the better their chances of taking home the ultimate bragging rights!

The Outcome: A Stronger, Closer Gym Family

At the end of the four weeks, our goal isn’t just to crown a winning team—it’s to foster deeper connections within our gym community. Athletes will come out of the Open having met new people, formed unexpected friendships, and gained a newfound sense of belonging at Rare Breed. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone stepping into a competition for the first time, this event is designed to make everyone feel welcomed, included, and celebrated.

So, whether you’re here to push your limits, show off your dance moves, or just enjoy the ride—our Intramural Open is about one thing above all: HAVING FUN.

Get ready to bring your A-game, show your team spirit, and make some unforgettable memories. Let the games begin!
