Strong? Yes. Intimidating? Maybe. 😊 Friendly? Absolutely! These are just some example of how we could describe our November Athlete of the Month, Kelly Taylor. Behind the super concentrated and laser focus expressions during movement, Kelly is an unbelievable athlete. When there's an Rx written on the board, Kelly simply says, "bring it on." She is not one to back down on a tough workout and will acknowledge when she needs to work on skills.
Before CrossFit, Kelly was doing other fitness routines that didn't give her the results she was looking for. She wanted something to make her stronger and help her improve her overall fitness. That's when Kelly joined Shogun CrossFit and everything changed. CrossFit gave Kelly the means to get strong, fit for pregnancy, stay healthy during her pregnancy, and have a quick return after birth. Here's more from Kelly on her journey.
If you haven't had the chance to WOD with Kelly yet, you best hurry. Kelly and her family will be departing Okinawa soon for a different adventure with the Air Force. We have been all so lucky to have such a dedicated athlete such as Kelly all these years. We wish her and her family the best and may her CrossFit journey continue to grow and shine brightly as she moves forward. Congratulations Kelly!
Not just because I'm her mom, I just know how hard Kelly will workout. She's always been that way. I'm so very proud of her. Hopefully her and her husband Marq can continue to meet many more awesome friends through cross fit as they start a new chapter in their lives.
