Registration for the World Fitness Project’s online qualifier is now officially open. The World Fitness Tour – Challenger Qualifier I began accepting registrations on Competition Corner yesterday afternoon. Athletes will be competing for a spot at the World Fitness Tour Event 1 on May 9-11 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The online qualifier will run from March 19-25, the week following the conclusion of the 2025 CrossFit Open. The top 30 athletes in the online qualifier will be invited to compete at the in-person Tour Event 1 in May.

The top 10 will compete in the Pro division against the athletes who have signed their Pro Card. Those Challengers who finish 11th through 30th in the qualifier will compete in the Challenger division.

All 30 athletes will earn points on their quest to become a “Pro” in 2026.

For the men who are looking to qualify, I have bad news for you. You will have to go through me to earn your spot to Tour Event 1. That’s right…I have registered for the online qualifier. Good luck…

So far, about 16 hours after registration opened, 25 men and 12 women have signed up. There’s still plenty of time to sign up, but right now I’m guaranteed a spot in Indianapolis.

There are some notable names already on the leaderboard. Bruno Marins, Kaiden Hogan, Keanu Redongo, Romain Fellonneau, Caroline Ferreira, Dana Paran, Jennifer Muir, Jessi Smith, Lily Burkhead, Matilde Garnes and Noortje Bleeker are already signed up.

The World Fitness Project is still in the process of announcing the 20 men and 20 women who have signed contracts for their Pro Card this season. You can see the running list of signed athletes here.
