Athlete of the Month
All of us who work out here at Mission CrossFit SA train hard. We are all on our own journey in pursuit of a higher level of fitness, health and ultimately, life. It is not an easy journey, but it’s worth it. It requires hard work, sweat, discipline, and perseverance. The journey is filled with challenges, obstacles, and sometimes-even setbacks. And although every person’s road is unique, it is not a solo endeavor. We are in the pursuit of fitness together. Like a team, when a person is knocked down, the group responds by picking them up. Equally as important, when someone succeeds, their accomplishments are enjoyed and celebrated by the whole. To that end, every month, one person will be recognized for their outstanding achievements in fitness, whether they are in or out of the box.
This page is dedicated to that individual who portrays what CrossFit is at Mission CrossFit SA. It is someone who pushes hard, never gives up and wants to accomplish something each day they step foot inside our gym. They are chosen by their peers and lead by example. The athlete doesn’t necessarily lift the most amount of weight, or win every WOD, but instead they have passion and desire for what their individual goal is. Work hard, everyone is always paying attention, and you could be next!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MORNING ATHLETES
WE WILL NOT HAVE WATER UNTIL AT LEAST 8:30AM TOMORROW (6/4)
We sincerely apologize to our members for this issue. Unfortunately, we have no control over the situation. Plumbers came to fix an issue outside of the building and were unable to resolve it. What resulted was the gym not having access to water for the evening classes this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Apologies to those members who had to deal with the situation this afternoon!
What this means… We won’t have access to showers, water fountains, or bathrooms tomorrow morning until the issue is fixed. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience but the issue is out of our hands. We’ve tried to contact everyone possible to try and get someone back out to finish the job, but alas no one was able to help remedy the situation.
We hope the issue if resolved by 8:30AM tomorrow morning and we will be sure to keep you all updated. Sorry again and we ensure you that we will do everything we can to get this taken care of at the earliest time possible tomorrow.

Athlete of The Month – April 2014
Name: Ashley Rice
Started CrossFit: August 2011(I had a few week stint in August 2011 but I legit started in November 2012)
Favorite WOD: preferably with burpees or KBS
Least Favorite WOD: The Bear
Favorite Lift: Back Squat
Least Favorite Lift: Shoulder Press
Story: I initially tried crossfit and decided that not being able to walk properly for days at time just wasn’t for me. Fast forward a year and a half later… I found myself sitting at a computer eight hours a day with no physical activity and my bagel bite/Gatorade diet was far from “clean.” Luckily a few of my missionista friends convinced me to give it another shot and man am I glad I listened to them! I have met so many inspiring people at Mission, both coaches and athletes, that not only motivate me to be a better athlete but to be a better person as well. So excited for more PRs and more great people.
April 2014 Athlete of the Month – Ashley Rice
Congratulations to Ashley Rice who was selected as our April 2014 Athlete of the Month! She’s an athlete who has seen huge improvements since her first day walking in the gym (especially considering we didn’t see her for a while after her initial stint at MCFSA, kidding!). I’m sure if you would have told Ashley early on in her CrossFit days that she’d be involved and competing in a program that includes some of the best athletes at the gym, she would certainly call you crazy. However, she’s doing exactly that and killing it! Her technique has greatly improved and she’s been knocking down PR’s on a regular basis. Congrats Ashley and keep up the great work!
