The Hottest Exercise Trend: CrossFit

Guest Bio: Kristan Clever

One of CrossFit’s all-time fiercest competitors, the 5’2”, 130-pound Kris Clever was the 2010 “Fittest Woman on Earth” and has three other Top 5 CrossFit Games finishes to her name. For many of her fans and competitors, though, Clever made her greatest impression at the 2013 Games, when she refused to quit even as the intense pain of a severe shoulder injury had put her out of the running. This effort later earned her the “Spirit of the Games” award.

Clever remains a dedicated Rogue athlete and currently trains in Van Nuys, CA, near her lifelong L.A. stomping grounds. Now over 30, she elected to take a hiatus from individual CrossFit competition in 2014, but did take part in the team events at the SoCal Regionals.
