PAINKLLR® PAINCAVE ATX 0411

PAINCAVE is our in-gym competition series — gritty, intimate, and community-first.

Born from the roots of where PAINKLLR started, this event brings the raw energy of a local throwdown with the premium feel of a professionally-run experience.

Think fight club meets competition — stripped-down, no fluff, just real effort and real payoff.

No massive crowds. No stage lights. Just two-person teams, one shared floor, and one chance to prove what you’re made of — no matter which gym you call home.

PAINCAVE is back again for our twice a year expereince in Austin, Texas. Hosted in partnership with CrossFit Jaakarhu, one of the most respected gyms in the city.
