Fantastic experience: Terrific experience dropping in for 3 days while at a conference. Jeremy, Amy and Chris were friendly, helpful and kept my new CrossFit journey right on track. Programming was excellent and the members were very welcoming. If you’re in search of a box and a great workout while in Austin, you have to go here. It’s just a short scooter ride from all the hotels.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from New Jersey. Impressive box and equipment. There was plenty of room for each athlete. I need to give a big thanks to Coach Chris for great muscle up progression work. I feel like I have a good basis to practice the technique. People who live in Austin are lucky to have this gym in their backyard.
