Upcoming CrossFit Games In South Florida

CrossFit isn’t a type of workout. It’s more of a lifestyle for those who choose to take part it in. Going way beyond “working out”, fitness games and CrossFit training, challenge all aspects of your physical capabilities, and push athletes to their limits. Having exploded onto the scene in the last few years, CrossFit is picking up huge momentum. Now is a better time than ever to get involved in a CrossFit gym near you. Here, The Culture Trip profiles some of South Florida’s upcoming fitness games and competitions that will be drawing in competitors and spectators from around the country.

In October 2013, the CrossFit community rallied together in spectacular fashion to support the Autism community in a worldwide workout event called LiftUpLuke. This ‘competition for a cause’ specifically sought to support early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, raise funds, and turn a global spotlight on the severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world. This year, under the more inclusive name of Lift Up Autism, athletes and coaches will get their chance to compete for the third year in a row, in an effort to raise money and awareness. Below are just a few of the South Florida locations that will be participating this month in Lift Up Autism 2016.
