MISSY & BRIAN HARVOLD – JANUARY 2026

*MEMBER SPOTLIGHT*

Missy and Brian are two of our most consistent members. They jumped into CrossFit in 2024 with two feet and never looked back! We’re so impressed with their drive to work hard, to learn new things, and to improve. And the best part is they’re having fun! They bring so much cheer to the 5:30 night classes. #strongereveryday

” As recent empty nesters, we were looking for something to do together that also supported our health. We’d been dabbling in running and working out in the garage, but nothing really stuck. We couldn’t stay consistent and a seasonal cold would derail our entire program. Our daughter Taegan had recently joined a CrossFit gym and her enthusiasm got us looking into it as well. Around Mother’s Day in 2024, we decided to see what it was about and took an introductory class at CFBR. Despite nearly passing out during the warm up, we were hooked! The friendly, positive, encouraging atmosphere was enough to keep us coming back for more. Missy really enjoys showing up and having someone tell her what to do for a change. She still likes to “hide in the back” 😊. She looks forward to the December Bingo and is proud of completing a modified Chad Hero WOD this past November. Missy is motivated by her personal improvements in V-ups, squat depth and overall mobility. Brian’s favorite part of CrossFit is the positive community which provides stark and much needed contrast from work. Having a third place where we belong, outside work and home, is a crucial part of our overall wellness. It’s been fun and empowering to see our personal improvements over the past couple of years and hope to finally start nailing down some finer skills like double unders and pull ups!”

CLOE NUCKOLS – SEPTEMBER 2025

*MEMBER SPOTLIGHT*

Cloe is a CrossFit veteran who’s been kickin’ butt for years. And she just keeps getting stronger and faster. Cloe has really been puting in the time and effort and it shows. Always fun to have in class, always great to workout next to, always supportive. We love ya Cloe!

“I have always tried to stay pretty fit but definitely had times where I let that go by getting busy with work and life. I’ve never felt like a real athlete. I started CrossFit about 13 years ago after moving here from Idaho. I am a Realtor here and in Idaho which has been a really amazing career. I enjoy Carnation and our little town outside the city. I get to plant so many flowers every year. And veggies too! But the dahlias and other flowers are what I really enjoy. We have raised our son here. I think he will be going to the teens class in just a couple short years

We spend a lot of our time traveling in the RV, taking Denton to so many sports tournaments, fishing adventures.

I really liked the tight knit group and everyone cheering each other on. I was even able to continue with it until I was 8 months pregnant. After that I was on-again off-again with CrossFit. Spent a few years hanging out with my refrigerator during covid. It was finally time to get back in shape and feel better. When I walked in the door 3 years ago there were so many familiar faces and new friends. I had to really make a decision to take control of my health. So, for the first time I put the effort into getting stronger and better every class. And it’s been an amazing journey! I feel stronger and more confident at 48 than I did at 28. I love our big competitive, encouraging group. The coaches and the athletes make it worth all the sweat, burpees, and pushing thru the uncomfortable stuff. Having a set schedule to commit to really makes it work for me. No putting it off – just show up and do it. CrossFit Big Rock is authentic, challenging and often the best part of my day.”

JASON ROSS – JUNE 2025

*MEMBER SPOTLIGHT*

Jason is our Cardio King!! Like he mentions below, he came here for the cardio and the sweat. But what he didn’t realize then, was he was going to get a heck of a lot more. Jason is incredibly strong, in body weight movements and with the weights. And then when it’s all mixed together in a workout, he totally excels. He just keeps getting faster, stronger and has the best endurance. He always walks through the door wearing a huge smile, ready to work hard, and ready to support his fellow mates working out alongside him. We love having you in our Big Rock family!! Get to know Jason a bit more…

“My family moved to Duvall in July 2019, and my first ever CrossFit class was in December. I remember thinking “how hard can a burpee be?” More than 5 years later, I’m still finding out.

Although I like to say, “I’m here for the cardio,” I’m really here for all of it — especially the community. Going to CFBR is always a highlight of my day, and it’s so rewarding to suffer (in the best possible way) with your friends.

Outside the box, you can often find me running on the trail behind CFBR, at Parkrun on Saturday mornings, and at Eastside Runners Club track workouts, where I get to pretend I’m still on a track team while getting absolutely smoked by much older people.”
