I'm faster, stronger and almost two pant sizes smaller! Besides my husband really taking notice (he didn't think my legs could be any better than they already were), the best thing is that I don't have to work nearly as hard at the running as I used to. I would highly recommend Jeremy's CrossFit class....if you're lucky enough to get in...because CrossFit is the best kept secret in town! Catherine Fisher

On-Ramp, A Focus On Movement
“I had a few expectations about On-Ramp when I started. I knew because it was CrossFit that I would still get in a great workout, and I ended up getting even more than that,” said Sarah Cross of CrossFit Central.
Proper form in a CrossFit workout is critical to maximizing the benefits of a WOD and preventing injury. The CrossFit Elements program is designed to ensure clients the safety and confidence that they need to move on to a CrossFit class. However, sometimes clients need additional time spent on the functional movements learned in Elements, as well as increasing their strength and endurance before starting a Coed or Women's Only Program. CrossFit Central has developed the new On-Ramp Program to address this need and give personal attention to clients that need to improve their form while still getting in a good workout.
I awoke in the middle of the night to the roar of thunder and crash of lightning. I slowly crept over to my bedroom window and peered through the blinds. It was pouring. I glanced over my shoulder at my alarm clock - the fluorescent blue numbers beamed 4:30am...this should be interesting.
All CrossFit Central coaches and staff were to meet at the gym at 6am for a quick briefing and then carpool over to the event location for WOD 1 at shoal creek trail. At 7:00am sharp the first wave of Women's Challenge competitors would start to arrive. The rain came down - in fact, it hadn't let up all morning.
Boot Camp is a non-traditional way to get in shape and feel great! Through resistance training using body weight, randomized movements, and cardiovascular training – you can get a lean, toned body.
CrossFit Central has 20 boot camps in North, South, East, West and Central Austin. Current boot campers chose CrossFit Central and have stayed with CrossFit Central because of the camaraderie, convenience, coaching, positive reputation, results, and the intensity and efficiency of workouts. Each week current clients see themselves improving and growing stronger. Dallas explains, “I feel good about myself for what I am accomplishing. A lot of my daily stresses go away when I work out!”
CrossFit Endurance, is adding 2-3 anaerobic (link defining anaerobic) run/bike/swim workouts to your current CrossFit training program to allow you to compete in endurance sports. These workouts will supplement your CrossFit training regimen and will promote endurance development with less training time with less injury! When followed correctly, CFE training can get you to ultra-marathons and ironman distances in only 6-8 hours a week - compared to 15-20 plus hours with more traditional programs.
Increasing Confidence, General Physical Preparedness &
Academic Performance
By: Therin Smith & an interview with CrossFit Kid, Morgan
The goal of the Crossfit Kids Program is to help kids individually develop healthy habits for life and recognize how good choices can make them feel. The Program promotes fitness through fun activities like relays and games. It has the power to increase a kid's self confidence, motor skills, development, and can make them smarter.
Morgan, a CrossFit Kid, is a tremendous role model for other kids through her relentless self-discipline, contagious motivation, and her selfless empathy for others. She pushes hard every day and never complains. Morgan has accomplished great feats this year due to all of this hard work!
