Celebrating Kristen : 1,000 Classes and a CrossFit Transformation

When a Mom, Coach, and CrossFitter Commits to 1,000 Classes, Magic Happens

Looking for CrossFit for moms in Cary NC? Meet Kristen Williams, who just joined CrossFit Coordinate's exclusive 1,000 Class Committed Club! Her transformation proves it's never too late to reclaim your fitness

From Crossroads to CrossFit

July 2020. Post-two c-sections. At her heaviest and most unhealthy weight. Gyms shutting down everywhere.

"I found CrossFit Coordinate in July of 2020 and it saved me. I had a history of being in the fitness industry, teaching group fitness classes and overall having a healthy lifestyle. After two kids and a global pandemic that shut down all gyms, I suddenly found myself at a crossroads: continue down this unhealthy and ultimately unsafe road, or find my way back."

If you're a parent reading this—especially a mom who's had c-sections—you know exactly what Kristen means. But Kristen chose to find her way back.

A Decision That Changed Everything

Kristen in action—stronger than ever at CrossFit Coordinate

"I joined CrossFit Coordinate on a whim with my husband and immediately fell in love. The mentality, the workouts, the community... it brought me back to life. I was able to find a piece of myself that I thought I had lost forever after becoming a mom. I am now the fittest I've ever been and I have CrossFit Coordinate to thank for that."

Let that sink in: The fittest she's ever been—even compared to when she was teaching fitness classes professionally.

That's the power of sustainable, coach-led programming combined with a supportive community that shows up for each other, day after day.

From Member to Coach to Manager

Kristen's transformation happened fast. Hooked within the first week. Discussing coaching at six months. Coaching regularly within a year. Managing the gym within two years.

"Not only do I love the workouts, the intensity, and the connections with the people there, but I truly love the heart of our community, the amazing people, the commitment to one another, the true care that everyone has. The gym remains family oriented, which I think is huge."

Today, as both coach and manager, Kristen has a special passion for helping other moms:

"I have a huge passion for other moms who just like myself may find themselves in a position that they're not super happy with, but not really sure where to go from there. And our gym is the perfect way for them to find their way back to something they can be happy with."

What 1,000 Classes Really Means

This is what dedication looks like

One thousand classes represents over four years of consistent commitment. Early mornings and late evenings. Showing up even when motivation is low. Prioritizing health alongside family responsibilities.

"One of the best things for me is that I don't have to think about it - the day is already planned out for me, and it's different every single day which keeps it from getting boring."

No decision fatigue. No wondering what workout to do. Just show up, and your coaches have everything ready.

After 1,000 Classes, Kristen's Favorites

Loves: Squat cleans, thrusters, and (yes, really) burpee box jump overs

Least favorite: The Echo bike

Kristen's Advice: Just Start

What would Kristen tell someone interested in joining CrossFit Coordinate?

"Just do it and don't look back. It's really easy to look at some of the super healthy and fit people in the gym and get really intimidated, but that's not the point of CrossFit. The point is for every individual to be able to find progress from day to day, and to work on improving themselves, not comparing themselves."
