The Member of the Month is someone who, very simply, is experiencing fitness results because of their consistency in applying the CrossFit methodology.
The Gratitude & Grit Award goes to a KCI member who consistently displays one or more of our Core Values:
Bought In: We genuinely believe in the value of CrossFit
Family: We go through it together & lead by example.
Gratitude: We show appreciation; seeing every experience as an opportunity to grow
Grit: We persevere through challenges to achieve long term success.
Member of the Month: Emily Foote
Emily is just a few months into CrossFit and loving every class! She is making progress everywhere and will soon (with a little more practice) be able to do pullups!
KCI- It’s impressive you show up to KCI before school! As a high school student, what motivates you to come to KCI before school each week?
Emily- I’m motivated to show up to class because I’m genuinely grateful for the ability to move my body—something I never want to take for granted. It’s become a happy space where I feel challenged, rewarded, and connected to myself and others!
KCI- Who inspires you?
Emily- I am inspired by Mr. Gooch [90yrs old]. I dream to be at his level of fitness, consistency and strong commitment when I am his age.
KCI- What is some advice you would give someone your age to motivate them?
Emily- I would give someone my age the advice to never be scared to start. Everyone has to start somewhere so be bold and do it. And never forget to be kind to everyone.
Gratitude & Grit Award: Alayna & Monroe
Alayna and Monroe started in the Homeschool Youth class this summer and already embody the KCI Values!
Their mom heard about KCI through a homeschool group she's in and the kids loved it right way because of the community and being able to push themselves each week. The family loves instilling healthy exercise habits in a fun way - and KCI meets that need for them!
Since starting CrossFit, Alayna and Monroe have had a desire to be more active at home. So much so, that their parents bought some agility equipment so the kids can learn things at KCI and then be able to do them at home too!
Isn't that the Gratitude & Grit spirit being lived out?! Keep shining you two! (and mom & dad!)
