G’Day, Perth CrossFitters! Are you ready to step up your game, push your boundaries, and immerse yourself in the CrossFit community you love? If so, you’re in the right place. From novice to elite, Perth’s CrossFit scene has never been more vibrant! We at Innerbloom CrossFit have put together WA’s first ever comprehensive chronological guide to Perth’s annual CrossFit competitions. This is your go-to resource for a chronological list of competitions in Perth.
Let’s jump right in and map out your year of competitions:
QUARTER 1
RFX Summer Showdown (January) – As we kick off the new year, the RFX Summer Showdown in January presents a golden opportunity. Held at the spacious RFX Athletic within Roar Fitness, this event is more than just a competition. It’s a platform for athletes to set the tone for the year, fostering an atmosphere that’s both competitive and supportive. It’s about personal bests, friendly rivalry, and a celebration of the CrossFit community.

QUARTER 2
Masters HQ (April) – This competition typically takes place in April and begins as an online qualifier competition. If you progress to quarter and semi finals, the most recent semi finals competition was held at Injustice CrossFit in Rockingham. It’s specifically designed for our more seasoned athletes, often referred to as ‘Masters’ in the CrossFit community. The Masters category in CrossFit is for athletes aged 35 and over, with further age divisions as athletes get older. These categories allow older athletes to compete against others of a similar age, providing a level playing field. The Masters HQ competition is perfect for these athletes looking for an individual challenge. It’s a testament to the fact that age is just a number, and fitness can be pursued and enjoyed at any stage of life. The competition is as fierce and the community is as supportive as in any other CrossFit event, making it a highlight of the annual CrossFit calendar for many.

Festivus Games (April) – This year, in 2024, was held on April 20 at CrossFit Perth. Not just a local competition here in Perth, but is a worldwide competition and this one is, as they say, “for the rest of us”, meaning not full of incredibly top level skills and weights, more accommodating for novice and intermediate athletes! You can participate as an individual or as a team of 3.

Sagitta Triples (May) – This teams of 3 event, is being held on May 4, 5 at Byford Secondary College this year, 2024. Unlike pairs or teams of four, the dynamics of a three-person team require a different strategy and level of coordination. Each member’s strengths and weaknesses become even more critical, as there’s less room to hide weaknesses and more reliance on each team member’s contributions. The challenge lies in effectively coordinating and leveraging the strengths of all three team members to perform optimally across the various workouts. This makes the Sagitta Triples a thrilling and unique competition in the CrossFit calendar.

Girls Gone Rx (May) – This unique competition, the final one typically held in May, is a celebration of strength, resilience, and the power of women. Girls Gone Rx brings together teams of three women to compete, not just against each other, but against their own personal bests. While the event promotes a sense of community and camaraderie, make no mistake – the competition is fierce and the workouts are challenging. The athletes push their limits, proving their toughness and determination. But it’s not just about the competition – Girls Gone Rx also serves a greater purpose. It’s a fundraiser for a breast cancer charity, making it a meaningful event that combines fitness, community, and a good cause. The event offers two divisions: Rx and BAM (Badass In the Making), catering to both experienced athletes and those new to the competition scene. Girls Gone Rx is an opportunity to test your fitness, meet amazing people, and contribute to a worthy cause, all while showing the world the power of women in CrossFit.
