November's Extraordinary Athlete ~ Charlie Wensinger

November’s Athlete of the Month is Charlie Wensinger. Many of you know him because he comes to class several different times of the day, depending upon his schedule. Many of you also know his beautiful, sweet wife, Madelyn, who just gave birth to their adorable baby girl, Charlotte, aka Charlie.

Charlie has been coming to CrossFit Odyssey for almost seven years. He started coming originally with his mom, TerriSue, who was doing personal training with me. After a short while, she moved to California, and Charlie stayed on with me. However, he was only one day per week on Friday mornings, and he really didn’t want to push himself much at all.


A couple of years ago, Charlie and his sweet Madelyn got married, and Charlie decided to switch to a group plan, and he brought Maddie with him. They often worked out together in the evening classes, and both of them kind of fell in love with getting stronger and healthier together. You know, they say the couple who CrossFits together stays together!!! 




Fast forward two years, and they just celebrated the birth of sweet baby, Charlotte. Maddie is recovering, but Charlie hasn’t missed a beat. In fact, we all think that becoming a dad has sparked a light in Charlie, encouraging him to be his most amazing self. In the past year, Charlie has PR'd all his lifts and learned bar muscle-ups, ring muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, and more!


Congratulations, Charlie, on your Journey to Extraordinary! We are so happy to be a part of it and watch you and your beautiful family grow.
