Kawi Crossfit

Took a drop in 530pm class at this location while in town for an Olympic Lift seminar. The team and members here are some of the most welcoming and energetic group of CrossFit athletes I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. If you’re visiting Austin and looking for a gym to get a WOD in, check these guys out.

I moved to Austin at the beginning of December 2025 and the very first thing I did was try and find a CrossFit gym. I chose Kawi CrossFit for a lot of reasons—quality programming, open gym availability, class sizes that weren’t too big or too small, and experienced coaches—but the biggest reason would have to be that the people here are awfully nice. When I was looking at gyms, I was stressed and nervous about finding a new gym, starting a new job, and being in a new city, but I always walked away from Kawi feeling welcomed and happy. It’s such a good gym, and I've seen a ton of progress since I joined too - just did my first ring muscle up in about two years! There’s a good balance of Hyrox style workouts, strength work, and traditional CrossFit workouts. I would highly recommend Kawi to anyone, from experienced CrossFiters to someone just thinking about getting started.

Coaches offer excellent guidance, regardless of your skill level. Very welcoming environment, clean gym, workouts are challenging and really take your workout regimen to the next level. If you’re thinking about trying CrossFit this is a great place to learn without feeling intimidated!

The best workouts everrrrrr! For someone who is just getting into hybrid training, Kawi has been my favorite spot in Austin. The community is great and Nader the owner is awesome— always ready to assist with pacing, form, and modifications. Super welcoming to all levels of athleticism and just great vibes all around. 10/10 would recommend!!

I have been doing CrossFit for several years and this is one of the best gyms I’ve trained at! Excellent programming and a solid mix between Olympic lifting and Hyrox style workouts. Great instruction and members, too.

Kawi is a great gym with a great community. If you're new to town or a long time native you will benefit from joining a great community that welcomes you and challenges you to be better, look better and feel better.

Kawi is a phenomenal gym with an awesome community. The owner is extremely intentional; he cares for his members and creates an atmosphere where people feel accepted, challenged, and motivated. It is a safe environment for people of all levels to grow. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for more than a transactional gym experience!

As a total beginner to CrossFit, this gym has been amazing. The coaches are great—they took the time to show me how to do every movement properly and made me feel welcome from day one. I love the variety in the classes and programming, especially the bodybuilding-style ones, but they're all fun and challenging. Plus, the cold plunge, sauna, and outdoor spaces are a huge bonus! Highly recommend for anyone just starting out.
