The term “bootstrapping” seems to be a trendy and new concept for some entrepreneurs. For CrossFit Central, it’s all we’ve ever known. Words we often used in the early years —> “urban” “scrappy” and “economic”. Some equipment, signs, and other useful tools around the gym we hooked up, made or pieced together ourselves. Five years later, we are still using a lot of these same techniques.

We’re rolling out a new series called Do It Yourself for the Garage Gym Community. First up is our ring holders. Our pull up bars are outside of the garage gym doors. We have the ability to hang rings inside the gym, but sometimes we need more space due to class size or multiple classes going on at once. We were hanging out with Jeff Tucker and the GSX Athletics crew for an event a few years ago and noticed their crafty ring holders. We brought the idea back to Austin and implemented it in our gym. Check out the wow to video below.
