Athlete of the month:
Kiersten Curti
Kiersten may be the only athlete at UCCF who genuinely enjoys burpees, but what truly sets her apart is her determination, effort, and attitude. Kiersten works hard at every class she attends, pushing the pace when she needs to, while also working to refine her skills and improve her form. Her confidence has grown along with her strength, and we are grateful to have her in our community! Well done, Kiersten!

A little more about Kiersten...
How was I introduced to CrossFit?
I kept hearing about Crossfit through friends, but was really nervous to try it. But when I heard that a Crossfit gym was opening just down the road from me, I figured I had to give it a try. I was in the first elements class at UCCF and was immediately hooked. Can’t believe it’s been 7 years.
My favorite WOD/exercise is?
Filthy fifty. I like the long chippers.
My 3 favorite movements are?
Hand stand push ups, clean and jerks (does that count as two?), and weirdly perhaps, overhead squats
If i never had to do this exercise again i would be psyched:
Anything involving a front squat... I’m looking at you, walls balls and thrusters. Rowing is very close second.
My favorite cheat meal is:
Dark chocolate (does that *really* count as a cheat??) and ice cream
My proudest CrossFit accomplishment is?
A squat clean PR in last year’s open. Friday night lights is definitely a testament to the power of the amazing UCCF community.
My six month goal is?
Get more than 1 strict pull-up
If I created a WOD and named it after myself it would be:
Hmm, maybe some combination of running (but not in the cold!), handstand pushups, burpees or burpee pull-ups, and overhead squats?
