PAINKLLR® PAINCAVE ATX
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 for our second round in Austin, Texas. Hosted in partnership with CrossFit Jaakarhu, one of the most respected gyms in the city.
Austin, TX December 13, 2025 Hosted by CrossFit Jaakarhu Open to athletes from all local gyms This is your invite to step into the cave.

Organized by: PAINKLLR
We see fitness as more than an activity, it's an opportunity to push boundaries an answer that burning question we have all asked ourselves - Can I do it? Is it possible? No one is born driven or tough physically and mentally, they are built. Built through experiences. It's the challenges, the failures, the wins, the small decisions we make every single day that compound and make us who we are. Our vision is to help people unlock potential through fitness, sport and movement. -PAINKLLR
