The strongest athlete in the room was once the person wondering if they could even finish the warm-up. The coach leading class was once nervous to walk through the doors. Every person you admire started exactly where you are at the beginning.

Five years ago, I had never touched a barbell in my life. I didn’t know the movements, I wasn’t confident, and I definitely didn’t think fitness would become such a huge part of my life.

I actually started my own journey with a free week, just like the one I’m offering you now. I remember wondering if I was good enough, if I’d fit in, and if I could really do it. Looking back, saying “yes” to that free week was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I took a chance on myself.

I kept showing up, even on the days I felt discouraged. I celebrated the small victories, learned from my setbacks, and trusted that every workout was making me stronger, even when I couldn’t see it.

Fast forward five years, and I’m now a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and the co-owner of CrossFit Iron & Ash.

Not because I was the strongest.
Not because I was the most talented.
Not because everything came naturally.

But because I refused to let being a beginner stop me from becoming who I was capable of becoming.

That’s exactly why we’re so passionate about helping people take that first step.

You don’t have to get in shape before you join.
You don’t have to know every movement.
You don’t have to be confident.

You just have to be willing to start.

At CrossFit Iron & Ash, we’ll meet you exactly where you are. We’ll teach you, encourage you, celebrate your victories, and remind you that every single person in our gym was once the “new person.”

One day, you’ll look back and realize the workout that once scared you has become your favorite. The things you thought were impossible have become your normal. And you’ll be thankful you didn’t let fear make your decision for you.

If you’ve been thinking about trying CrossFit, this is your sign.

August 3rd–7th, we’re inviting all first-time visitors to experience CrossFit Iron & Ash completely FREE. This week is for new members only, and there’s absolutely no pressure just an opportunity to see what our community is all about.

Come meet our coaches, try a class, and discover that you’re capable of far more than you think.

Your journey doesn’t have to wait another month or another year.

It can start with one free class/ week just like mine did.

We can’t wait to meet you at CrossFit Iron & Ash. Your first step could be the one that changes everything.

Monday–Friday:
5:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 8:30 AM, 4:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM

Member Spotlight

Today’s Member Spotlight goes to Anita Taylor

Anita started her journey with us in our Foundations class, and watching her grow has been incredible. She came in ready to learn, put in the work, and trust the process and it shows every time she walks through our doors.

She continues to get stronger, more confident, and more consistent with every workout. What we’re most proud of isn’t just the progress she’s making physically, but the commitment and determination she brings every single day. She never gives up, and that attitude is exactly what leads to lasting results.

Anita, we are so proud of how far you’ve come, and we know this is only the beginning. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. Keep showing up, keep believing in yourself, and keep doing what you’re doing because you’re doing amazing!

Help us congratulate Anita in the comments! We can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next. 🖤🔥

The Reaping

Two part workout

This event is designed to test both speed and strength. Teams will need to work together to earn the fastest possible tiebreak before tackling a six-minute clean ladder where strategy can make all the difference.

Part B
EMOM 6 – Clean Ladder

Using one barbell, both athletes will lift during the same 60-second window each minute. Athletes are responsible for changing their own weights before the next round begins.

Rounds 4–6
Choose your own weight each round. The weight must increase every round.
