Kristie Luckett

Kristie grew up in Canada in a very sports-centered family, which eventually led her to the U.S., where she swam NCAA Division I at UMBC. After earning her degrees in Biology and Psychology — and later a Master’s in Sport Management — she naturally gravitated toward a career centered around movement, performance, and people.

She found CrossFit in 2017, right after college, and everything changed. The coaching, the challenge, the community… she was hooked. She started coaching in 2018, and now has been coaching here at Blackbird since 2024. 

Kristie believes fitness is for everyone, and that growth is most powerful when you’re surrounded by people who cheer for you, challenge you, and celebrate with you. That’s why this community is so special. Being a coach at Blackbird is an extension of everything she loves: coaching, connecting, and helping people become the best version of themselves.
