WE ACCEPT DROP-INS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH APPROPRIATE CROSSFIT EXPERIENCE
welcome
Visiting Whistler? Drop In & Make Opus Your Home Away From Home
We’re fortunate to welcome athletes from around the world to drop in and train with us—including athletes participating in the CrossFit Open. We’d love for you to make Opus your home away from home while you’re here!
A Note About Experience
We do require that all drop-in athletes have previous CrossFit experience before joining our group classes. We’re strict about this, so if you’re unsure whether your experience qualifies, please contact us before arriving for class.
You do not need to be exceptionally fit to drop in. What matters most is knowing how to move safely and having enough CrossFit experience to follow a group class. Keeping you safe is our priority!
Drop-In Rates
For a casual drop-in, the cost is $30 + tax.
Planning to train with us more than once? We also offer 1-week and 2-week passes, as well as 10- and 20-class punch cards. Please note that punch cards expire six months from the date of purchase, so make sure you’ll use them within that timeframe.
You can find all of our current pricing on our Rates page.
Programming
Once upon a time, CrossFit was all about preparing for the unknown and unknowable. These days, many athletes arrive following a specialized training program—and that’s totally fine!
If you’re following your own programming and don’t want to participate in our class workout, please book an Open Gym session instead.
If you join one of our group classes, expect to do our programming. We’re extremely accommodating and will always scale and tailor the workout to suit your needs and abilities.
Please Pre-Register
We ask all of our members to pre-register for classes, and the same applies to visiting athletes. We limit the number of athletes in each class, so reserving your spot in advance is important.
If you’re planning to purchase apparel or a pass option that isn’t available for online purchase, please reserve your spot by paying the drop-in fee online and completing our liability waiver before you arrive.
Reserve Your Spot
Your credit card information and drop-in payment are required before arrival.
We’ve had too many instances of guests reserving spots and not showing up. Unfortunately, those unused spots could have gone to another guest or one of our members. Pre-payment helps us make sure everyone has a fair opportunity to train.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
We can’t wait to have you train with us!
self serve
To sign up for classes head to our schedule and create a profile as a new user. Once you’ve created a profile you can register for classes. In order to reserve, the system will charge your credit card to reserve a space.
THE CROSSFIT OPEN
The Open is a special time for Crossfitters! And if you signed up for the Open, and are in Whistler over that time, we want to help you get your workout in! Over the years we've helped many guests do their workouts and be judged, and they've helped us with some judging along the way.
Friday night will be our community throwdown night. Having said that, Friday night isn't the only time you can do the OPEN at our gym. We will add additional times where you can register to do the OPEN WOD. Please have a look at our schedule for details. Look for the class that says CrossFit OPEN WOD, and register away. For an average class, we look to finish on time, and end on time. For the open, that is unknowable. So, upon arrival, look for a heat sign up in sheet. That will give you an indication of what time we estimate you will be able to do start the workout.
Please do your best to be aware of the workout, movement standards, as well as anything relevant to that workout. Upon completion of the workout, your judge will give your a score card. YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR SCORE! WE DO NOT DO THAT FOR YOU. Our affiliate name is CrossFit Whistler. And we will validate scores that are submitted prior to the deadline.
Every year that schedule accommodates most people, but not everyone. So, if you can't make any of those times, here are your options. As you read on, please keep in mind that we are not trying to charge more than our drop in rate of $33 per class. But we also have classes to run and a small gym to make everything work.
We do have some “open gym” classes on our schedule. That is a great time to do an open WOD. But, a judge on call waiting on you to arrive is not a fair expectation. You can bring someone to judge you, that will work. If you need to have someone here to judge you, we might have to charge a fee. Please enquire if that’s your request. But truth be told, we’d prefer one of the previous options work for you.
If you are looking to do the workout right when it's released, then unfortunately we “May” not be able to help you. I say this because without prior knowledge of the workout, and how to properly judge it, set it up, etc… I can say without hesitation that we won't be prepared. There is potential for doing it later in the evening. However, that cannot be determined until the workout is released. And we know how to execute the details.
here to stay?
We offer a variety of passes, so if your visit to whistler is more permanent, we’d be happy to make your Opus Athletics your new place to train. Please visit our rates page for longer pricing options.
So to sum things up, we’d love to have you join us for a workout! But, we need you to sign in to classes, please don’t just show up. You can always call or email to get yourself registered in.
WHEN IN ROME
You might find that our gym runs a little differently than the one you train at. Should you feel uncomfortable or have questions, please bring it up to our trainer so that we can help you out. We can accommodate any injury or modification out there, so you have nothing to fear. If you feel the workout needs modification, we are always happy to assist.
Lastly, we are not set up for you to do your own programming unless you arrive at Open Gym Times. So if you’d like to train with us, be prepared to follow what we are doing. (We do our best to accommodate slight changes to programming if we can, but our priority is to run the class.) If you have a special request that falls outside what’s described, email us and we’ll do what we can.
I CROSSFIT, BUT MY FRIEND DOESN'T - can he or she come to a Crossfit class?
Unfortunately, to attend a CrossFit class, you need CrossFit experience. It has zero to do with fitness level, as their fitness level could well exceed the average person, or maybe fitter than any of our clients. But, we have no way of ensuring safe execution of the exercises. All risk no reward would be how I would put it. This policy is to ensure we can provide quality training to our clients and guests, and cannot do so unless all of our guests have CrossFit experience.
The one exception to the rule, is someone without CrossFit experience can attend a RideFit session. No experience necessary to attend that session.
