TimeLine
2008:
Dr. Eric Richards and 3 other owners open “The Garage–A CrossFit Gym” as a licensed CrossFit affiliate in Woodstock, Georgia.
2010:
The guys hold a competition at a park in Woodstock, Georgia, and call it “The Garage Games.” The event was a HUGE success. Check out this video.
2011:
Many people loved the idea of hosting their own competition. The team thought they could use their success and partner with other CrossFit affiliates in bringing events around the Southeast. Even better, they decided it would be cool to have a series of events that competitors could compete in for points and be crowned as The Garage Games series winners. There were 12 events in the Southeast and four in the Northeast. Reebok partnered with the series to hand out $10,000 in prizes to the overall series points winners.
2012:
The Garage Games series gains in popularity. Even more affiliate owners want to provide the competition experience in their local communities. Again Faster, Progenex, Life As Rx, and Concept 2 become Garage Games series sponsors. JournalMENU provides cool personalized journals to all winners. Inov8 gives shoes to event winners. There are more than 80 events across the country from Washington State to Long Island, New York, and everywhere in between. On another note, The Garage Gym in Woodstock, grows out of its current space and moves to a larger facility. CrossFit is booming, and we are so thankful for all your support in our gym and in our series.

I thought the Travelers Rest Comp went very well. It was well organized with plenty of volunteers and the host were very accommodating. Thanks! Also thanks for adjusting the 70+ weights. Our range of motion just isn’t that great and anything overhead is a challenge to not get hurt. Looking forward to the next one.
