Specialties
CrossFit Abilene is a strength and conditioning facility that develops individuals, athletes, and teams to reach elite levels of fitness through constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high intensity. We are located at 408 South US-83, Abilene, Texas in a 6,000 square foot warehouse gym that is 100% CrossFit. Our training methods produce undisputed, tangible results for all levels of fitness; from children to elite athletes, and everyone in between.
Our program efficiently combines the most effective training methods of weightlifting, gymnastics, and high intensity cardio. There isn't a strength and conditioning program anywhere that works with a greater diversity of tools, modalities, and drills. At CrossFit Abilene we train incredibly hard; harder than most thought they were capable of. Everyday our athletes break down barriers and set new standards for themselves. Our training is intense, and it creates a bond among our members that can't be faked or manufactured. We sweat, we expose weaknesses and we get stronger...together.
The community aspect of CrossFit Abilene is our greatest strength. At CFA there are no ego's, and no room for bad attitudes. Those type of people just don't last here. We are supportive, we are competitive, we are strong, we are humble, we are athletes...we are CrossFit Abilene.
History
Established in 2012.
CrossFit Abilene became a licensed CrossFit Affiliate in late 2012. With allowing a few months of start up and brainstorming, we began having classes in the bottom floor of a historic building in downtown Abilene summer of 2013.
We soon moved to a 10,000 square foot warehouse on the South side of Abilene December of that same year where CFA currently resides.
