Crystal Kennedy
Crystal was born and raised in Bedford County. She played basketball, volleyball, and softball at Liberty High School, and rec league throughout her time at Radford University (Go Highlanders!). Her happy place is outside on the trails with her wife, Robin, and their two dogs. She enjoys participating in local road/trail races and OCR races. She also really enjoys the Ultrarunning community in our area and hopes to keep chasing longer race distances.
She’s known for her tough workouts and big heart. Crystal coaches our Hyrox, Spartan SGX, and DEKA training workouts. She also talks members and friends into doing all kinds of races and endurance events with her in her spare time!
Her favorite movie that makes her LOL is Bridesmaids, and her favorite pump-up song is anything by Missy Elliot! Her go-to healthy meal is grilled chicken and honey-drizzled roasted sweet potatoes. Her favorite desserts are cheesecake or yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Her favorite way to adventure in our region is hiking the trails on Mill Mountain. Her favorite Ferguson Fitness workouts are Hyrox, DEKA, Stronger Together and Field Days!
She is passionate about seeing people try something new and push beyond their perceived limits. She says, “The old saying You never know until you try is so true. Seeing folks step outside their comfort zone and surprise themselves is such a fun moment to witness!”
