🏆 September Member of the Month: Ashley 🏆
When we think of a 5 AM Hero, we think of Ashley! 🌅💪 While most are still asleep, Ashley is showing up, putting in the work, and starting her day by making time for herself. Her consistency, positive attitude, and leadership make her an easy Coaches’ Choice! 👏
Here’s a little more about our September Member of the Month:
💭 What got you to join Cajun CrossFit?
"2023 was a rough year, and I knew I wasn’t where I wanted to be for myself or my family. A wonderful friend, Rena, kept telling me to come try it because CrossFit really is for everyone. So, on December 23, I finally showed up.
Pretty sure I blacked out and definitely didn’t finish the workout, but the people supported me through every step. I initially said I would give it three months, but I haven’t stopped showing up since then."
🏋️ Favorite movement/workout?
"Anything with the barbell, especially power cleans! I also love Hero and Memorial WODs because they’re a time to reflect on how precious life is and how blessed I am to be here while moving my body."
🙅♀️ Least favorite?
"I LOATHE snatches and anything overhead and upside-down." 😂
💙 How does CrossFit help with your day-to-day life?
"Cajun is my safe place. As a mother of three, wife, and administrator for a School of Nursing, I’m constantly working and thinking for others. At Cajun, it’s MY time to focus on me, reset, and become the best version of myself for the people I love."
🛠️ Fun fact:
"I love a good DIY project and would have been an attorney in another life!"
Congratulations, Ashley! 👏 Thank you for your leadership, consistency, and the positive attitude you bring to our 5 AM crew. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the Cajun CrossFit family!
