It is time to make your move!  Training outdoors with Relentless ATX will show you huge improvements in just 6 weeks.  Take on an Athletic Training Class or Boot Camp Challenge today and spend your summer with more energy & confidence and most importantly having FUN!
Make your move
Relentless Training Systems offers two core programs for athletes: on-going Athletic Training Classes and 6-Week Boot Camp Challenges. Which is right for you? Here's a quick explanation of the two programs to help you decide:
 
Athletic Training Classes
Over 20 classes offered at various days/times around Austin. Athletic Training is formerly the only program offered by Relentless and are where most of our athletes train each week throughout the year. Classes meet 2 or 3 times per week, with up to 15 athletes per class. Programs are constantly varied, scalable to all fitness levels, and are suitable for both new and more elite athletes. With the help of your Coach, you decide how much weight to use and how hard to push yourself, making the workouts custom to your goals. Centrally programmed scored workouts provide a competitive environment across all classes. Equipment used includes Hyper Wear Sandbells and Kettlebells. New athletes are required to take a one-day elements session called "Combine" as a prerequisite to joining class. Enrollment is open and you can join programs at any time. REGISTER HERE
 
6-Week Boot Camp Challenges
Offered 5 times throughout the year, the 6-Week Boot Camp Challenges are perfect for the athlete looking for a jump-start to meeting their fitness goals. Boot Camps meet 3x/week and are offered at 3 locations around Austin, with up to 30 athletes per boot camp. The focus of these classes is on teaching proper technique for kettlebell movements and providing progressively more intense workouts, tailored to new athletes to our programs. Nutrition guidance and accountability is provided and participation in food journaling is expected. At the end of the Boot Camp Challenge, athletes are ready to join our on-going Athletic Training classes. Registration is open for the next Boot Camp Challenge, which starts on May 21. REGISTER HERE

The Relentless 5K Race is this Saturday!  There are only a few spots left so grab your partner now and join us at Camp Mabry!  The 5K race will be run on a flat, fast, gravel track at the Camp Mabry Parade Fields. Teams will complete three 1-mile loops of the track with their partners. Since this is not your average 5K event, you should note the accessibility of the pullup bars near the track. Expect to do more than just run fast - this is a Relentless Event, after all! 

Relentless Partner 5K Race
Saturday, May 12
@ Camp Mabry, Austin, TX
Check-In at 7:00 AM
Race Starts at 7:30 AM

Athletes and spectators are welcome to bring chairs and umbrellas/tents for shade, but we will not be hanging out at Camp Mabry for very long after the event, as there is a dedication on base later that morning.

Volunteers and medical staff are needed for the event. Please contact events@relentlessATX.com if you can help out!

As Lisa Bender Thiel enters her 5th month of pregnancy she is feeling great and staying active.  Like many CrossFitters, Lisa cannot muffle her competitive spirit.  As the South Central Regionals approach Lisa is taking on the Regional WODs at an easier pace but still having a great time! 
 

"I qualified for South Central Regionals but realized that actually participating wasn't the best decision for me (or the baby!).  However, this week when the WODs came out, I got hit with the "bug" all over again.  They look FUN and just up my alley....well my pre #PREGOFIT alley anyway!
This week--before the "real" South Central Competition - I've decided to do 1 of the WODs each day.  While MU and pull ups are MUCH!!!! harder than a few months ago, the only move I absolutely can't do is HSPU.  This week I took on a #PregoFit "Diane" and WOD 2."  Read More
