CrossFit Classics!

CrossFit Austin and CrossFit Central are proud to announce CrossFit Classics, a monthly CrossFit celebration for fitness athletes and fans in Austin, TX!

Once a month we will pay homage to the roots of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games by competing in a “Classic” WOD. It may be anything from one of the original “girls,” a famous CrossFit Games Beatdown, or something even “nastier”! The workout will be announced on the first day of each month and will typically take place on the final Friday night of the month (exact times and dates will be announced with the workout). We will be accepting a limited number of competitors for the workout, so register early!

EVERYONE is encouraged to come take part in the festivities. Workouts do not have to be performed Rx, and we will have free drinks and after-party specials at local establishments! Follow this page for all updates and announcements concerning the event!

The event will take place at CrossFit Central Downtown  on  October 26th, 2012

When: Friday October 26th, 2012 @ 5:30 – 8:30 PM
