Athlete Profile~Kate Kelley

Kate Kelley has been a fixture at CrossFit LifeSport for quite a while. She is friendly, fun and very strong! If you watch Kate workout, you will see determination, tenacity and sheer strength. She puts up big numbers and fast times, but she is also there cheering on everyone else at the box. 

Her major contribution to the LifeSport family, in her opinion, is "Uh, conversation? I do like to talk to everyone. (I think Todd doesn’t appreciate my conversational ability.)" While she is a talkative lady, Kate brings much more to the table than that...She has run many races (marathons, 5K's), is very involved in her community (Toledo's Warehouse District) and is a huge supporter of local/small businesses (she is a self-employed Financial Advisor).

She is a natural athlete, and looks like she's been doing CrossFit forever. "After 20 years of searching for something where I could see measurable improvements in strength and conditioning, I finally found it with CrossFit." Well, she found the perfect place to call home at LifeSport.
