If you’ve ever worked out next to Crystal, you know she’s equal parts grit, sarcasm, and heart. She’s been at it for a year now, chasing fitness for health and “graceful aging” (her words, not ours 😉). Her favorite workout? “Uhh…” Her favorite movement? “Isn’t that the same question?” Classic Crystal. But don’t let the humor fool you—she’s gotten stronger, fitter, and found a community of people who share her goals. She swears she could live on pizza forever (we don’t disagree), and she’s happiest when life is drama-free, hanging with her awesome family, her CFV crew, and dominating Thursday trivia.
What makes Crystal special isn’t just her progress in the gym (though that’s been awesome to see), but the way she appreciates and encourages the people around her. She says CrossFit has helped her realize she’s stronger than she thought, and that there’s a whole community of people out there who share the same concerns, goals, and hopes of just wanting to be better somehow. Crystal, we love your wit, your work ethic, and your energy—you make CFV a better, funnier, and stronger place to be.
