CrossFit German Throwdown 2023 - Classic | Date: 18. & 19. November 2023 | Location: Halle 45, Mainz

CrossFit German Throwdown Community Challenge

 

Since we can’t come together this weekend in Berlin we want to give you a chance to show off your latest living room gains.

The community challenge is open to everybody, it’s free, doable for everyone and can be done with no equipment at all. We will post a workout at 6 pm every Thursday for the next weeks and you will find it below on this page. 

We have teamed up with our partners to sweeten up those crazy times. Everyone taking part has the chance to win a price. Your position on the leaderboard is not important as we will raffle the prizes out. However the WOD-winners will for sure get their spotlight and bragging rights in being on top of the leaderboard.

The Community Challenge is hosted by WODProof. All you have to do to take part is:

  1. sign up in the WODProof app
  2. go to Training Programs/Communities and
  3. become a part of the German Throwdown Community

You will be notified as soon as a new workout is available. You then simply film yourself with the WODProof app doing the workout and log your score on the leaderboard.

We are looking forward to do some fun workouts with you!
