Where to Workout in Austin During the 2022 Rogue Invitational
The 2022 Rogue Invitational is less than two weeks away, and we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about visiting the Texas capitol area of Austin. Between now and the competition, we’ll be dropping the best places to grab coffee, cocktails, a quick meal or a delicious sit-down, and must-do activities to stay active when you’re not cheering on your favorite athletes at Dell Diamond.
To kick things off, here’s your guide to getting your fitness in while in the Austin area.
1. CrossFit Central
CrossFit Central Downtown

CrossFit Central Burnet Road

2. CrossFit Round Rock
350 Old W Dr, Round Rock, TX 78681
While many attendees choose to stay in the heart of Austin, the Rogue Invitational is actually held in Round Rock, about 20-25 miles north of the buzzing city. If you’re staying closer to the venue, CrossFit Round Rock (CFRR) is your go-to. Located only 10 minutes from the event, they’ve expanded their open gym hours to make sure every fan can get their own dose of fitness in.
Modified open gym hours: Monday – Thursday: 10AM – 8PM, Friday: 7AM – 5:30PM
“Not only does CFRR have the best community, all the surrounding gyms have amazing ones as well and welcome all traveling CrossFitters with open arms,” General Manager and coach, Sam Auburn, said. “We are so excited to meet CrossFitters from all over the world and showcase how welcoming our community is, here at CFRR. It’s an honor to host all the athletes each year. It truly inspires so many within our CrossFit community.”
