Check out our latest Success Story! It's on the lovely Samara Ali-Ahmad. Each week, Samara does private training with Melissa 2 days and one class on her own. And, she WODs with her daughter Layla (shown here). How cool is that? They truly a fantastic family, and yes, Derek, that includes you too.
Samara Ali-Ahmad
For Samara Ali-Ahmad, CrossFit is a family affair. Introduced to CFLB by her daughter Layla and Layla's boyfriend Derek (both CFLB members), Samara and her husband signed up for the July 2011 On-Ramp class, and she's been getting stronger ever since.
"I remember in the beginning Samara couldn't push press 10 LB dumbbells," recalls her coach and personal trainer Melissa. "She's now up to the 20 LBs. She is truly amazing! Not only has her strength improved, but her stamina as well. She's dropped over 3-5 minutes in a lot of the repeat workouts."
Melissa has seen changes in Samara's confidence level as well. "CrossFit has made her stronger not only physically but mentally," she explains. "When she first started, she was very unsure about all things CrossFit, but now she has a solid understanding of the movements and challenges herself in every workout."
