Huge congrats to our Athlete of the Month for November Iestyn Coles! Iestyn is one of the O.Gs at CrossFit Access and when he puts his mind to it this man can do some serious damage! One of Iestyn's key attributes which we admire him for is his ability to just get work done! Us coaches set what appears to be an almost impossible task and this man will find something deep inside him and get it done! Be-it making a lift or hitting a new benchmark WOD time.
