☀️ Member of the Month – June 2026 🎉
Help us give a big welcome to our June Member of the Month… Sam! 💪🏼
Sam joined CFA at the end of last summer after living in a van for the previous three months, traveling around and exploring. She had known about CrossFit before then but finally decided to take the leap and give it a try. She’ll be the first to tell you that she was nervous before getting started, as she had never done most of the movements. However, she quickly caught on and made tremendous improvements in her technique, form, overall fitness, endurance, and strength.
When she’s not at CFA, Sam enjoys being outdoors as much as possible and works at her family’s wholesale greenhouse. She and her husband also love hiking, traveling, fishing, trapping, and gardening.
We asked her:
When did you realize that CrossFit was right for you?
“I knew it was a good fit for me when I started meeting like-minded people in classes. I appreciate the community at CFA. Everyone shows up, gives it their all, and encourages one another.”
If you could have one skill or characteristic of another member at CFA, what and from whom would it be?
“I appreciate the consistency of people like Derek, Gary, Deb, and the girls in the 5:45am class. These people just have grit, determination, and kindness. Those characteristics are way more important to me than any skill I could learn here.”
We are thankful that Sam joined CFA and has become such a dedicated and friendly part of our community. We really appreciate all of her hard work. Keep it up, Sam!
