Thank you to everyone who made it out to our 7th Anniversary & Holiday Party this past weekend! It meant so much to have everyone come together and celebrate with us. We’d like to take a moment to recognize our new Push Up Man & Woman winners, as well as those who were bestowed with the most prestigious Bitter Burpee Awards 😉 Congrats you guys!
Push Up Man & Push Up Woman of the Year Jose Gonzalez & Meredith “Mer” O’Brien!
“The Push-up Man and Woman of the Year exemplify everything that we love about our athletes, our community, and the human spirit. Not only do these people walk through the doors of CFA day in and day out, and work hard to improve themselves; they go out of their way to lift up everyone around them. They make their friends and families a priority over themselves. They lead and encourage by words, actions, and example. They represent the burning spirit of what makes our little South Austin gym unique and special. We at CrossFit Austin can humbly bestow no greater honor and we give our utmost heartfelt thanks that you both have chosen to make our gym, business, family, and lives a better place!”
