JULY 2026 || ATHLETE OF THE MONTH
ALEX BRUCE
We're excited to celebrate Alex Bruce as our July Member of the Month! Alex's positive attitude, determination, and willingness to embrace every challenge make her a valued part of the CFPC community.
Alex first discovered CrossFit in the fall of 2017 after finishing her competitive badminton career. She struggled to find a workout routine she genuinely enjoyed until her brother encouraged her to give CrossFit a try. Although she was hesitant at first, it only took a few weeks before she was hooked!
What Alex loves most about CrossFit is that exercise no longer feels like a chore. It has become something she looks forward to, and her dedication to showing up—even when progress doesn't always feel obvious—is truly inspiring.
Her favourite lift is the power clean, but her greatest achievement isn't tied to a single workout or PR. It's her commitment to herself. Alex says she's most proud that, even during times when she feels like she's not improving, she continues to show up. That perseverance is what builds lasting strength.
One of the things Alex loves most about CFPC is the incredible community. Moving to a new area can be daunting, but she found a welcoming group of people who quickly made the gym feel like home.
Her advice for anyone just starting CrossFit is simple but so important:
"Be patient and take it slow. Focus on learning the technique before loading up weight."
Alex, thank you for bringing your positivity and determination to CFPC. Your consistency and dedication inspire those around you every day, and we're so grateful to have you as part of our community.
And a special shout-out to Matt Reilly for being her amazing partner in life and at the gym! Congratulations on being our July Member of the Month!
