Meet Alex Creasor…
Alex got talked into attending one of our Saturday workouts by the one and only Coach Stephanie. Comes to find out, they're neighbors! Once Alex dropped into a few classes, she was hooked. She quickly picked up on all of the movements and has been non-stop growing ever since. Having Alex in class is a true pleasure based on her coach-ability, attitude and overall personality. We enjoy having Alex as a part of the 926 family. Be sure to give her a high five when you see her!
As part of being Athlete of the Month, we asked Alex a few questions to get to know her a little more, below are her answers:

3. Favorite hobbies?
My hobbies are my dogs, crossfit, cooking, and playing on Lake Norman.
4. Athletic Background?
I actually do not have much of an athletic background. I used to get made fun of because of how uncoordinated I was. I did gymnastic when I was young and danced for a year in high school. Other than that, I was not very athletic.

Stephanie is my neighbor and she invited Carissa and I to come check it out. After 3 classes we were hooked. I have been going for almost a year now.
