Fitness has always been a part of Ashley’s life; she grew up dancing competitively from the age of 3 until graduating from college in 2011. After graduation, her love of fitness and activity translated into running half marathons. It wasn’t until 2016 when, needing a change of pace, she found CrossFit. Ashley fell in love with CrossFit, its variety, and its physical and mental results immediately. The community gained from CrossFit Monadnock helped ease her transition and made her feel at home during a relocation from Philadelphia to New Hampshire. Ashley wanted to be able to give back to that community, and in October 2018, she completed her Level 1 Trainer course, coaching others at CFM weekly. Ashley’s favorite part about training at CrossFit Monadnock is working with newer clients; she loves making them feel at home, just as her On-Ramp instructor did for her in 2016, and she loves seeing them progress in the CFM programming.
