CrossFit Powerlifting Certified

Molly's interest for CrossFit was piqued by the seemingly ittle cardio, more lifting and shorter workouts involved with CrossFit. She decided to experiment and do CrossFit.com as her sole workout program. The results gained in such a short amount of time proved this was something worth investing in. It has changed her life for the better; a fitter body and a healthier, stronger mind. Molly's true passion is being able to help others, with health and fitness being the avenue. She works well with every one and takes pride in her clients.

Molly started as a Personal Trainer/Group Fitness Instructor at 17 years of age and continued working in a gym and found her way into the CrossFit community. She has a background in basketball, rugby, and weightlifting. Molly has her BA in Business with a concentration in Sports Management along with a minor in Exercise Science. She works full time at CrossFit Instinct and helps out her mother at Gold's Gym as the Director of Group Fitness and Wellness. She also writes a weekly article for BeHealthySpringfield.com, a part of the State Journal Register.

Ashley O'Connor

Ashley’s determination to live a healthier, more productive lifestyle started during her first week of CrossFit with Molly and Tim at Gold's Gym. As the workouts got harder and the results started showing, CrossFit became her new obsession. By following the CrossFit Journal, CrossFit.com and elite CrossFitters, there was no denying CrossFit would become a major part in Ashley’s life. Along with her own fitness, she is motivated to help others and inspire every person shape and size to strive for excellence in their own health. Ashley believes that going beyond your limits into the impossible is the only way to truly test your mental, emotional and physical capabilities.
