CrossFit City Limits

Great box! I will definitely visit again. The coaches, Blake and Kyle were very inviting and gave some great instruction. I highly recommend this box. Thanks for the hospitality. Can’t wait to come back.

I hate working out, but I LOVE working out here! I never thought I could be into crossfit until I came to Crossfit City Limits. The coaching is amazing and they are more than patient with beginners like me. I started going about a year ago and it gets better and better every time.

Crossfit City Limits is an amazing place and community with EXCELLENT coaches. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this gym!
A friend turned me on to Crossfit – and I searched and searched to find one that fit me well. Crossfit City Limits is the only Crossfit I found in Austin that had everything I was looking for and more.
Here are just a few of the things I love about CFCL:
1. The workouts are different every day – and they are challenging in all sorts of ways.
2. Blake and Kyle are the best coaches around. They are so kind and down to earth. (In fact, everyone in the gym is very grounded.) They break things down in a way that is easy to understand. They encourage you and motivate you to keep going when you want to quit. They reward your small successes and never fail to notice the things that you accomplish – and they NEVER make you feel bad or insecure. They add a personal touch to all of their classes and are sincerely interested in getting to know you on a personal basis. Plus, they’re hilarious.
3. The classes are small and not overwhelming in size. You get to know everyone in your classes and you all support each other.
4. They are so flexible with their class times and days and even ask for our input when thinking about adding or taking away classes.
5. The prices are fair and competitive. They even sometimes offer incentives and «bonus» opportunities.
6. They CFCL group is like a 2^nd family. Everyone is very welcoming and the coaches make it a point for us to do things outside of the gym. There are all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds in this gym – no need to be intimidated!
If you’re thinking about joining a crossfit gym – go with CFCL. You won’t regret it!
They even have «open community» workouts so you can try them out first!
I’m certain you’ll love CFCL like we all do.

I have been taking classes at CrossFit City Limits for about three months now and it has been a great experience. Kyle and Blake (the owners) are very knowledgeable coaches and provide really logical and thorough instructions on how to properly perform the workouts. Also, they give really helpful feedback to correct improper form which has helped me improve my performance a lot. Besides being great coaches, Blake and Kyle are just really nice and fun guys who care about their members which makes you feel at home in their gym and look forward to coming to their classes.

I was always interested in crossfit and really enjoy working out. What I like about this gym specifically (so glad they opened one up close to me) is 1. the prices are comparatively low to other crossfit gyms-​especially central! 2. The classes are still small, so you get the one on one personal training like attention, but still a competitive atmosphere to push yourself. 3. And while many people call crossfit a cult, the coaches and members have become more like family – and its always nice to have someone hold you accountable. especially in the gym. I like the fact there isn’t a lot of pretentious meatheads here either. A lot of nice, down to earth people, especially the trainers that know what they are doing and help you get to your potential. If interested in joining crossfit, feel free to try them all, but stop here.

I was looking for a CrossFit gym to visit during my recent Austin trip. Out of a several boxes around the hotel I was staying, I picked CFCL mainly based on the location, but also because the coach, Blake, was very responsive to all my inquiries via email and was very welcoming (the famous box in «Central Austin» was neither responsive nor welcoming…), and also on their FB page, it looked like a fun community. So I went there for three days in a row at the same time (6:30 AM), and I fell in love with CFCL pretty quickly. Because I was there only for three times, my review might be somewhat limited, but since I had such a positive experience, I wanted to share it on Unilocal.
Coaching: All three visits, the first 30 min was spent on warm ups and skill practice. I found Blake very good at explaining forms and movements. I am new to CrossFitting (only a little over a month), so I have a lot to learn, and he gave some really good tips on forms that I found very valuable. He was also very friendly in person, too, introducing me to the class at the beginning, and asking me questions and such during a cool down so that other members can get to know me better. I appreciated that.
Box size: It was small, but had all basic equipment and more that CrossFitters need. CrossFitting does not need lots of equipment any way. :-)
Class size: Each session I went to had a medium size class, about eight people. This was a perfect size; not too many so it remained personal, but had a community feeling.
Community: I absolutely loved the tight and welcoming community at CFCL. Very friendly people who would talk to me and cheer me from day one. Since I am still new to CrossFit, I had trouble with some movements, and they were very helpful so that I could get it. I enjoyed being there very much, and could easily imagine myself being a part of this community if I were to stay there longer.
My initial plan was to visit a different box at every Austin trip, but I think I’ve changed my mind and want to go back to CFCL every time I am in Austin!

Looking for a crossfit gym? Join this one! It is amazing!
It is a fairly new gym that is growing quickly! So it has that smaller, tight-​knit community feel with smaller classes (so its not intimidating), but also has a very professional structure and great equipment (so the workouts are very well planned and are challenging)!
The owners, Blake and Kyle, are really great. They care about each and every members’ personal growth and are really engaging as coaches. I did not have a crossfit background before joining and feel like they challenge me and encourage me really well! I love the community and the atmosphere they have created for each class.
Check out the website and stop by and give it a try! You will be hooked after one class and will make great friends!

Pretty sure the only places I spend more time at than this gym are my house and work, and that’s only because I HAVE to go to work!
I had been wanting to attempt CrossFit for about a year before I started, but I had always worried that I wasn’t in shape enough or that I couldn’t afford it. I began joining bootcamps that I would find deals for on Groupon or Living Social, but I never fully committed to them, and therefore never saw the results I was looking for. I finally decided that it was time to buckle down and start CrossFit.
I was hooked from the first class I went to, and felt right at home. Everyone at this gym is so welcoming, and it really is the more the merrier! I was SO wrong about not being in good enough shape to handle it… that is what it’s FOR! I am seeing a huge difference in the way I look and feel… I haven’t some of these muscles since the old cheerleading (it IS a sport ;)) days. SO glad I stumbled upon CFCL!
