Workouts
The Format
The Butterfly Effect is an all-female functional fitness competition for teams of 3, offering divisions for Beginners, Intermediate, Masters and Advanced athletes
Teams will tackle 4 workouts over the course of the day, with workouts released months in advance to give you plenty of time to prepare.
Our divisions are designed for all fitness levels, from first timers to seasoned athletes, and you don’t need to be a ‘CrossFitter’ to join! The Beginner division focuses on accessible movements and will not include complex techniques like Snatching or Gymnastics.
A prize purse totaling $5250 is up for grabs in the Advanced Division
Movement Standards
For detailed movement guidelines, visit the Movement Standards table located under the “Athlete” menu option. This will provide an overview of the weights and movements that may be required in the workouts. If you’re uncertain, don’t worry! You can adjust your division after the workouts are released—flexibility is always an option.
What to Expect
From high-energy challenges to supportive team spirit, every element of the Butterfly Effect is designed to bring out the best in each participant by celebrating every win along the way – no matter how big or small.
Expect an atmosphere that’s empowering, uplifting, and inclusive. This isn’t just about competing; it’s about feeling proud of what your body can accomplish and connecting with like-minded athletes who share your passion.
