CrossFit Beaumont

Featured Athlete – Cassi Raley

Posted on June 15, 2010
Meet our next featured athlete, Cassi Raley. Cassi has been with us since before we opened; and is still seeing gains in her training and appearance! She's just another example of what a little bit of hard work and determination can do for you.

My name is Cassi Raley. I am a stay at home mother of 3, and before crossfit  I had never been part of an exercise program before. I was always a naturally thin person, but  after having 3 kids in 5 years, that was not the case anymore. I had finally gotten fed up with myself and accepted the fact that i was not going to loose the weight by sitting on the couch and eating whatever I wanted.  I slowly began to make a few changes in my life. I would jog a little, cut back on the sweets, and other minor things. I managed to lose a little weight.

Then, in December a friend told me about Neal's class that he was teaching in the park once a week. I decided to try it out, and it was by far the hardest thing I had ever done......but I went back for more!! Shortly after that, Neal opened CrossFit Beaumont and I was able to start working out a few times a week. I started seeing results very quickly. After just 8 classes, I lost an inch in my waist. Now here we are 5 months later and I have gone from a size 6 to a size 2!  Crossfit has also given me the desire to not only want to loose weight but also to live healthier.

I am very suprised that I am so addicted to a fitness program of this extremity, but I really can't get enough! The atmosphere is great, and I find myself really pushing it to the limit everytime I go. I know crossfit is not for everone, but this is definately the program that works for me!

  1. WAY TO GO CASSI!!!!

  2. Way to go Cassi, I am proud of you and I am glad you dragged me to my first class. Your right, this is not for everyone but it is for anyone with a huge desire for a family of great people to push you to your utmost capability and then exceed it and I am glad you were so enthused that you talked me into trying it. You are looking great, keep up the great work.

  3. Outstanding Cassi!!!! Keep up the hard work. There is a responsibility with being the AOTM you have to stay ahead of the pack for the rest month. I have no worries that you can do it. Congrats again.

  4. Congratulations, Cassi! You put in a lot of hard work!

  5. Cassi… One of the CFB originals.
