Angi Conley

Hey friends! My name is Angi. I was born and raised in Iowa (go Hawkeyes!), and have lived in Michigan since 2016.

‍

A fun fact about me is that I speak French, and am learning Spanish as well.

‍

I have one son who is a senior in high school, and one furbaby named Georgia (also known as Coach Georgia) who accompanies me to every class.

‍

I was a track and cross country athlete in high school, but when I went to college I basically stopped all sports and exercise. When I turned 30 I realized I needed to get active again, and thanks to a Groupon deal, decided to try something that I had never heard of before called CrossFit.

‍

I've now been doing CrossFit for 10 years, and coaching for over 4 years. My favorite thing about CrossFit is that it makes me feel powerful. I've learned to do things in the last 10 years that I never imagined I'd be capable of doing, and I LOVE helping others achieve the same. I also believe that as we get older, basic functional movements become a more and more potent medicine that can help us keep living our lives confidently, independently and with less pain.

‍

My favorite movements are Wall Balls, Burpees, Handstand Walks, Toes to Bar, and anything with a heavy Dumbell!

‍

I came to Ada Valley CrossFit for the first time because I was looking for a CrossFit gym that was dog friendly. I stayed because it instantly felt like home.

‍

If you take one of my classes you'll find that I like to be a little goofy when I coach, because I believe that fitness should be fun and enjoyable. We all have enough obligations and pressures in our lives. Keeping our bodies strong and healthy shouldn't be just another chore, it should be one of the best hours of our day.

‍

If you're nervous about starting, just know that Ada Valley CrossFit is one of the most welcoming supportive gyms around, so let that fear go and just give it a try! Coach Georgia and I look forward to working out with you!
