Our Story
rossFit Central co-founders, Jeremy Thiel & Carey Kepler, along with their 3 brothers and sisters grew up on a squash farm in Lubbock, Texas. From a young age they learned the value of working hard, providing a quality product and impacting people’s lives through service. Both Jeremy and Carey were athletic from a young age and played high school and collegiate level sports. They chose to combine their love of fitness with their desire to change people’s lives – they set out to build a fit community in Austin, Texas.
In 2005 the brother-sister duo began running boot camps in parks all around Austin. Jeremy worked from his one bedroom apartment day in and day out blogging, emailing and programming; strong relationships sprouted out of his emphasis on the importance of being heavily involved in the Austin fitness community. Jeremy laid the foundation for his future by hiring a strong team; coupling his drive with people who were passionate about CrossFit and dedicated to the company’s vision.
In the Spring of 2006 we opened our first gym, becoming one of the first 50 CrossFit Affiliates in the world. The space was roughly 500 square feet on Burnet Road. Since then we have moved into a 4,000 square foot facility one mile from our original location and opened 2 additional gyms including an elite performance facility, RedBlack Gym. In June 2012 we broke ground on our 3rd indoor location, CrossFit Central Downtown, bringing CrossFit to downtown Austin. Along the way, our Relentless boot camps have grown to include 13 locations.
We remain a locally owned and operated family business. We love this city and we would love the opportunity to help you reach your goals
