+–Who is Krystalore Crews?
Krystalore Crews, MBA, is a 22-year U.S. Air Force veteran, cancer survivor, The SHYFT Master and CEO of Crews Beyond Limits. After being wheelchair-bound with a rare form of rheumatoid arthritis, she came back to run 28 marathons and a 50-mile race. She is a certified somatic coach and a doctoral student in Somatic Psychology, and she created the M.O.V.E. system taught in Prescriptions.plus FIT and MOVE.
+–How many marathons has Krystalore run?
28 marathons, plus a 50-mile race, after a time in a wheelchair with a really rare form of rheumatoid arthritis.
+–What is the Spirit Award?
At her 50-mile race, the race director picked Krystalore for the Spirit Award. She carried the American flag for the last 4 miles up a mountain, still smiling after 50 miles in 9 hours 8 minutes of nonstop running, during her comeback season. She calls it one of her proudest moments.
+–Why does MOVE include coaching and daily check-ins?
Her 50-mile race was her most successful and most challenging race, and the one she was most prepared for: she trained for six months with an Olympic athlete's coach by her side the whole time. She credits that coaching, which is why coaching, daily check-ins, nutrition, mindfulness, community and connection are part of her system today.
+–What did Krystalore do at the Pentagon?
As a leadership instructor, she was asked to develop curriculum at the Pentagon for the entire military on temperament, personality, emotional intelligence, effective communication, generations, mindful self-leadership, wellness, holistic wellness and resilience. After multiple interviews and listening sessions, she designed and developed a 40-hour train-the-trainer program and wrote six computer-based trainings that more than 180,000 uniformed members complete every year.
+–What does M.O.V.E. stand for?
Mindset, Ownership, Vitality and Environment. It grew out of what Krystalore studied to come back from a wheelchair (mindfulness, nutrition, movement and active recovery) and it helped her bounce back quicker from cancer.
+–Is Krystalore a doctor or therapist?
No. Krystalore is a coach, speaker and retreat leader — not a physician, physical therapist, psychologist or dietitian. Her programs are coaching and education, and they work alongside the licensed professionals who care for you.
