Some benefits of our events:
Most experienced event staff of its kind. Not another one-off weekend throwdown!
Indoor venues for all our events, meaning sponsors, athletes and spectators don’t deal with the weather
Fun, friendly atmosphere
Competition Idea
We believe being fit means being able to do well across a variety of different physical tests. As such, we’ve designed a competition that tests people for all-around skills.
Games Format
The games will incorporate a variety of different skill sets and be scaled to any level athlete. We will incorporate standard movements (bodyweight, weightlifting, kettlebells, running, rowing, etc…) in workouts that will be selected to test athletes in strength, endurance and skill. We will announce the 3 events that all competitors will participate in 48 hours prior to the competition. We typically hold a finals workout for the top 5 teams, though this varies from competition to competition.
Sample Workout Formats
Event 1: 7 minutes to establish a 1 Rep Max Hang Snatch
Event 2: 3 Rounds of Row 500 Meters, 21 Squat Cleans, 21 Burpees
Event 3: AMRAP 10 Toes-to-bar 10 Thrusters
Divisions Available divisions can be seen in the registration options.
RX: RX means you can do almost every “girl” workout RX. In some cases, weights and movement requirements will be more challenging than the “girl” workouts.
Novice: Novice is for athletes new to SuperFit, or competitions of it’s kind. Expect weights and movements that are still challenging, but not as challenging as our RX division.
Masters: While not always available, the Masters division is for athletes 45 and older. Expect the workouts to be somewhere between the challenge of the Novice and RX divisions.
Prizes We will have a prize basket for our winners from our sponsors, as well as a custom SuperFit medal RX winners can expect to receive larger prize packages than the Novice winners.
Swag All athletes will receive a great contest shirt from Hopper Apparel, as well as a variety of samples and freebies from our sponsors.
Entrance Games will be open to all level athletes over the age of 16. We encourage athletes to be familiar with different fitness domains and have some exposure to CrossFit style workouts. .
Refunds We do not do refunds for our events, but will happily accept ticket exchanges if you can find someone to buy your ticket. Please make sure to fill out a registration change request if you sell or buy a ticket. Ticket changes must be made at least 2 weeks before the event.
Spectators Please bring $10 if you want to spectate. Kids 16 and under are free.
Weather We will hold the event, even in a blizzard. Please come prepared.
From CFA Management: CrossFit Austin is proud to introduce the newest members of our Coaching Staff, Zach Lane & Josh Harris. These guys are joining our team with a wealth of knowledge and athletic experience! We’ll let them tell you more about themselves… but we’re excited to have these two on our team! We’ve brought these guys on board to focus primarily on personal training as a way to help our community reach their goals, but you’ll see them in many rolls. Be sure to welcome these guys to the community next time you see them!
Zach Lane
About Zach: Zach has been an avid CrossFitter since early 2012 where he needed something to keep the competitive juices flowing. Having been involved in all kinds of organized sports from an early age and all throughout college, CrossFit was the next step in evolving his mind and body. Along with his degree in Sport Management from Southern New Hampshire University, Zach has studied many levels of fitness and nutrition, both in school, and on his own including acquiring his CrossFit Level 1 certificate. He stays very active outside the gym as well, taking part in rec sports and anything outdoors. He tries to stay active in the community, working out with people all around Austin and the country when traveling.
A Message From Zach: My true passions in life all have to do with exercise, nutrition and people. Needless to say, I can’t wait to start this new journey at CFA with so many great, Athletes and Coaches with so much knowledge and experience. As soon as I joined CFA, I knew this gym was on a different level than other gyms I have experienced. I look forward to meeting every single person that comes through the gym and being there for anyone that has questions or simply wants another eye to enhance their experience. I am very competitive and vocal with my coaching and hope to spark that flame in those that need an extra push in their workout.

Josh Harris
About Josh: Josh attained a B.S. in Sports and Exercise Science with an Emphasis in Exercise Physiology from West Texas A&M University. He is currently attending Texas State University for his M.S. in Exercise Science. At Texas State, Josh is a Graduate Teaching Assistant. One the weekends, he enjoys his passion for wine and bartends at Hye Meadow Winery in Hye, Texas. He is a CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer and ACSM- Health Fitness Specialist certified.
A Message From Josh: All of my life, I’ve been active. Growing up in a military family, we moved consistently; however, I have always had sports. In high school, I played football, basketball, baseball, ran track and swam. I then went on to play college football for all 4 years at West Texas and had the opportunity to play professionally for a year with the indoor team, Amarillo Venom.
Being involved with so many activities, I’ve always wondered how things work and what can I do to improve them. These curiosities lead me to be heavily interested in sports performance, exercise science and bettering our health. Being part of the Crossfit Austin family gives me the chance to do so. Whether it’s getting off the couch or getting prepared for the next competition, there is no better time than now! “In Omnia Paratus”
