The Short Version
Kierston Bell won a full year membership at Crunch Fitness Westminster, 4 personal training sessions and an OWL Movement T-shirt in The OWL Movement’s very first giveaway. She is working on getting back to feeling her best, and Crunch put up the membership and training without hesitating for a second. We announced Kierston as the winner on April 2, 2026.
The Whole Story
Who Won the Free Year at Crunch Fitness Westminster?
Kierston Bell from Westminster won the free year, and she is our very first giveaway winner. Along with a full year membership at Crunch Fitness Westminster she got 4 personal training sessions and an OWL Movement T-shirt.
Out of everyone who entered our first giveaway, Kierston stood out. She is working on getting back to feeling her best and this prize is hers to do exactly that.
Who Is Crunch Fitness Westminster?
Crunch Fitness Westminster is the Westminster gym behind Kierston’s prize. You can find them on Instagram at @crunchwestminster.
Their team backed The OWL Movement before we had ever named a single winner. If you have been wanting to make a change, go see what Crunch Fitness Westminster can do for you!
How Did Crunch Fitness Westminster Get Involved?
We walked into Crunch Fitness Westminster and told them what we were building with The OWL Movement, and they did not hesitate for a second. They covered the full year membership and all 4 personal training sessions. Matt at Crunch was the one who said yes that day.
That kind of generosity means everything to us, and we said so the day the giveaway went up on March 18.
“We are honestly still a little blown away by this one.”
How Did Kierston Win the Giveaway?
Kierston entered our free giveaway before entries closed on March 31, and we named her the winner on April 2. Entering took three steps.
- Follow The OWL Movement
- Tag someone who deserves this in the comments
- Stop by our shop at 525 Old Westminster Pike in Westminster to sign up in person
On March 25 we reminded everyone there were 6 days left and asked them to tag someone who has been wanting to make a change. We closed that post with one line.
“This might be exactly the push they needed.”
March 31 was the last day to enter and we really wanted to make sure the right person won this. Kierston was that person! You can meet every giveaway winner so far on our Stories page.
What Happened After Kierston Won?
Crunch kept right on showing up for us after Kierston won. In July their team put an OWL Movement sign up at the gym to tell everyone who walks in that they are all in on this town! Matt and the Crunch team came back in August with a 6 month membership for another one of our giveaways.
Kierston’s prize gave her a full year to keep working on feeling her best, and she has been putting her membership to good use!
A huge thank you to everyone at Crunch Fitness Westminster for leading the way from day one!
