Travel and Parking

Just like last year, Regionals will be held just down the road in San Antonio. We have a Facebook group created to help coordinate carpooling on Friday and Saturday. Please comment below if you have not been added to the group and you are planning to come watch.

Freeman Coliseum
3201 East Houston St.
San Antonio, Texas 78219

Parking is $7/day or $18 for the 3 day pass. There is no in and out, and it is limited.

This year roughly twice as many spectator tickets have been sold so please account for the fact that there will be a lot of people trying to get in and park at the same time and this may create some significant delays.

What if I can’t make it?

Looking forward to a great weekend for all of our athletes and wonderful community! 

From CFA Management:
CrossFit Austin is proud to introduce the newest member of our Coaching Staff, Tim Garland.  Previously an athlete and Coach at CrossFit Kyle, Tim joins our team with years of professional and athletic experience! We’ll let him tell you more about himself… but we’re excited to add another seasoned and experienced coach at CrossFit Austin! Be sure to welcome Tim to the CrossFit Austin community next time you see him!

About Tim:
Tim comes to CrossFit Austin with 9+ years experience in the fitness industry. He began his formal education at the University of Oklahoma, where he studied Health and Sport Sciences and was a member of the Sports Medicine team (football). During his time in Oklahoma, he also played for OU’s Rugby Club, before transferring to Texas State University to complete his degree requirements. He walked the stage in 2009 with a B.S. in Exercise and Sport Sciences from the Health and Human Performance Department at Texas State, and currently holds the American College of Sports Medicine-Certified Personal Trainer and CrossFit Level One Trainer Certifications.

A Message From Tim:

I have competed at several different levels in a few different sports over the years, and enjoyed them all. Finding something that pushes you to develop your mind and body, as well as your character, is a goal worth pursuing. CrossFit has afforded me the opportunity to once again test myself in a new ways and provides an arena for these tests on a daily basis.
