In honor of the recent CrossFit Games, we thought we’d take a little trip down memory lane! Did you know CrossFit Reston has a long history of sending athletes to the Games dating all the way back to the very first Games in 2008. Back then, it was just a bunch of people working out on a ranch in California, but Maggie and Jeff were both there! Year later Christy would be there too.

In 2010, the Games moved to a bigger venue in Carson, CA. Christy was there, of course. She would go on to become a CrossFit Games staple, competing there a total of 8 times, earning her the nickname “8-time”. She had 7 individual and one team appearance with Balance Gym in DC (plus one demo team appearance)

In 2011, Gretchen would Christy her to make her first of four consecutive Games appearances. She would become known for her gymnastics skills and sparkles (of course)

In 2011 Reston sent our only ever team to the CrossFit Games. Maggie, Adrienne, Jen, Tim, Mike, and Jon came in 2nd at regionals. Back then, teams were made up of 6, rather than 4.

In 2013, Kim, competing in the 45-49 division took 3rd, then in 2014, she’d go on to become Kimpossible The Champ! After an injury hiatus, Kim returned to the Games, this time in Madison, WI with Christy as her coach in 2017-18 for a total of 5 appearances.

Jeff made his Games return in 2014 with an amazing 2nd place finish. Then, after a competition hiatus, he most recently made his return in 2021, which included an event win!

We have also seen Steph compete in 2014, 2015, and 2019 (her highest placement of 5th)

Additionally, we had Jim compete in the 60+ division.

Which brings us to 2024, when the masters athletes had their own competition in Alabama and Bret made his CrossFit Games debut!

Meet Kim! Don’t be afraid to say hi if you see her around the gym 🏋️‍♀️💯🔥
