We have some amazing members at Armor! To recognize and celebrate each other, we’ve decided to have a different coach each month pick two members they’d like to highlight. The coaches will express why they’re choosing the members and we’ll have an opportunity to learn more about the selectees in a blog post. Thank you for being a part of our community! This month’s members were chosen by Coach Jess K.
Ashley is a consistent and hard-working member. She is constantly working on her technique and movement, and always trying to get better and stronger. And more importantly, she is always a kind and happy friend, even at 6 am! Always encouraging her fellow members and spreading kindness!!

Ben has been a long-time member at Armor. Transitioning from CrossFit to Olympic weightlifting he has been a dedicated athlete, rarely missing a day and never complaining. Ben has grown tremendously as an athlete and member at Armor. He is always willing to offer help and advice to a fellow lifter and volunteers in our OLY meet and even during the CrossFit Open, and tries to always participate in our community events!
