Kyle Stark

I am a 2008 graduate of the University of Kentucky, with a degree in Agriculture Economics. After graduation I moved several times looking for work all the while struggling with my own fitness. When I finally settled in Northern Kentucky in May 2010 I was an avid runner and cyclist. I finally found CrossFit in late November of 2010, and I went to my introduction with the impression that I was in good shape. Lets just say after laying in the grass outside trying to hold my lunch in, I realized I had a long way to go. In all my years of athletics and fitness I had never been that wiped out; I was immediately hooked and haven’t looked back since. I competed in the 2011 CrossFit Games Open, and had the privilege of competing at the Central East Regionals on the CFNKY team. The Regionals were an amazing experience and the sense of community between the athletes and affiliates was inspiring. What I love about CrossFit is that it is always changing, and always challenging. There are days when you walk in the door and think “there is no way I can get through that workout” but you push those thoughts out and dive in headfirst. Then when you emerge on the other side you have a new found respect for how strong you are, both mentally and physically.
