May Member of the Month!
June 6, 2011
I have the pleasure of announcing Melissa Warner as the May Member of the Month! This amazing athlete has shown more heart and determination than I can possibly ever describe. Melissa, since day one has refused to back down from any challenge and continues to push her limits every time she steps through the doors.
Melissa came to us with a yoga background, looking to expand her horizons. In her journey here, she has gained tremendous confidence, and surpassed any and all expectations. She recently participated in the CrossFit Open, which takes a lot of courage in and of itself. Despite scaling workouts, she gained valuable experience and showed her determination to better herself. She came in early on Saturday’s for Competitor’s classes, putting the extra time to work on skills. No ego, just hard work.
Injuries. Not an excuse. Not an option to miss. That was actually a direct quote from her. She still comes in, modifies workouts, and always gives everything she has. She is a valuable asset to our community, as you could not ask for a more humble person, and she is always quick to encourage other athletes.
Melissa has met every obstacle head on, never quits no matter how hard it gets, and continues to impress us all. We are lucky to have her as an athlete, and are privileged to know her as a person. You can expect big things from her in the future, and we’re excited to be along for the ride. Congratulations Melissa!
“Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It’s OK to fail. If you’re not failing, you’re not growing.” — H. Stanley Judd
About Caleb
I found CrossFit while in college at SUNY Cortland, studying for a degree in Kinesiology. At the end of my program, I needed to fulfill my internship requirements and came to Albany CrossFit to work with Jason. The rest is history. CrossFit has changed my perception on fitness and I feel privileged to be able to bring this gift to the masses. My goal is to help make people happier and healthier and spread the love of CrossFit with everyone.
