MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Ashley
Q: What brought you to CrossFit in the first place?
A: Devan suggested it to me and I had been curious about CrossFit in general and wanted to find a more accountable gym.
Q: What was your first impression? How has that changed?
A: I was a little intimidated at first and didn’t think I’d be able to keep up or even be able to do half of the workouts. I quickly realized it was easy to modify and make more realistic goals for myself while I get stronger.
Q: What was your first “bright spot”?
A: When I realized I am pretty good with the row machine.
Q: What’s your favorite CrossFit CTRL memory?”
A: I was pretty excited when I got my PR in the deadlift at 205lbs.
Q: What do you love most about CrossFit CTRL? What keeps you coming back each month?
A: I love the people. It’s nice to be surrounded by a group of people with health and other similar goals as their focus.
Q: Who Inspires you?
A: Everyone that consistently goes to the gym inspires me to stay persistent.
Q: What is your current occupation? What are some hobbies, clubs, groups, or activities you participate in?
A: I work as a graphic designer at and engineering firm… so lots of sitting which means I love to get outdoors as much as possible and do things like: kayaking, hiking, and biking. I also love art: painting and drawing.
Q: What would you say to someone you love to encourage them to try CrossFit CTRL?
