Athlete Profile-Kim Kurek Maloney



     Kim has been working out at CrossFit LifeSport for almost 5 years, now. She "wanted to lose the baby weight that I had gained after three children. My youngest (Jameson) was just 9 months old when I started at the gym." 

Kim has definitely achieved her initial goal, and then some. She is a woman that others, in the gym, strive to keep up with. Her consistency in training over the 5 years shows in her form, technique and physique. While she believes she only contributes "some laughs here and there", the fact is Kim is a great motivator, inspiration and friend to everyone who comes to the box. The healthy competition you feel when working out side-by-side with her is contagious...she makes people try harder.

CrossFit LifeSport is a part of the Maloney family-her husband Dan works out here , too. "My very good friend Ericka Parker told me about the gym and how she had great results, so I didn't second guess it. I just showed up one day and the rest is history. It is now part of my life." And, you can see Kim here 3 days a week, setting new PR's and encouraging her fellow athletes.
