More about Aime:
1. What is your favourite thing about CrossFit Ashlar?
Hands down my favourite thing about CrossFit Ashlar is the community that Tarra and Glendon have built. The coaches are all such amazing people and have great tips and tricks to help everyone become better athletes, both physically and mentally. The membership at Ashlar is the best in the city, by far. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging and will greet you with a smile when you walk into class.
2. What is your favourite post workout meal?
I go to classes in the evenings, so my post workout snack is always a banana or an apple with some nut butter on the side.
3. Which accomplishment are you most proud of?
Honestly, sticking with CrossFit is what I am most proud of. I was a dancer for 30years and after I quit, I was kind of lost when it came to fitness. I tried out a bunch of different things, but nothing really stuck. I tried a CrossFit class on a recommendation by my massage therapist and was lucky enough to meet Laurie Meschishnick. Laurie kept me motivated to keep attending classes and to keep getting stronger. When I started, I could not hang from a bar, had to repeatedly rest during any type of cardio, and had never touched a barbell in my life. Fast forward a few years, and I am in the best shape of my life. A close second would be the surprise flash dance we planned for Tarra’s 40th birthday. Everyone did so well, and she was so surprised.
4. What is your next goal?
Pull ups are next on my list.
5. What is your favourite CrossFit movement?
Anything with a heavy barbell – squats, deadlifts, and power cleans. Heavy days are my favourite days.
