GAMES WORKOUTS!

 

July’s monthly focus brings Games workouts to us! One to two times per week, you will see some of the most memorable and challenging Games workouts.

We’ve included everything from 2019’s The Standard, and the entire 2007 CrossFit Games during the third week of July!

Of course every WOD is adaptable and can be modified to the level we need....and some of these workouts are turned into partner workouts! 

 Community Leader of the Month!

Our JULY Community Leader of the month is Ashley McKilligan!

 

You can find Ashley within our noon class (usually) but you can also see her in some early morning/late night classes! Not only do we love Ashley....but we also love her daughter Poppy! If you watch our instagram stories..you have seen videos of Poppy running the show at Ashlar :) We admire how hard Ashley works and how easily she can juggle the "new mom life" while at the gym. Ashley is a welcoming face to any new member and always helps out anyone who has any questions! Ashley can also be found harnessing George and leading him to make the best decisions within classes;) 

Did we mention Poppy? lol We just love how Poppy tags along side Ashley and we can not wait to see her first baby burpee! We are so lucky to have Ashley & Poppy within our community!  

More about Ashley:

1. What is your favourite thing about CrossFit Ashlar?

I love how positive, friendly, and welcoming our community is and seeing people of all ages enjoying fitness. I am so proud to raise Poppy in a community where exercising is a fun thing we get to do for our health & well-being! 

 

2. What is your favourite post workout meal?

An air fried grilled turkey & cheese sandwich dipped in ketchup, and some veggies on the side!

 

3. Which accomplishment are you most proud of?

I am so proud of prioritizing regular fitness since becoming a Mom last August. I always joke about the coaches & members being Poppy’s gym coparents but we honestly could not do it without the community’s amazing support. Many have entertained Poppy or carried her around so I can finish a WOD.  George Lake would happily give up an entire WOD to chase her around! Coming to Ashlar & getting a workout in however we can has been the best part of our day during maternity leave! 

 

4. What is your next goal?

I want a bar muscle up! 

 

5. What is your favourite CrossFit movement?

Burpees alllllll day!
