Two Resolution CrossFit Athletes Crowned “Fittest on Earth” — And They’re Just Getting Started

Yorba Linda, CA — Resolution CrossFit is proud to celebrate an extraordinary milestone that has put our local community on the global fitness map.

In 2025, two women from the same gym — in two different age divisions — were each crowned “Fittest on Earth” at the CrossFit Games, the highest level of competition in the sport.

  • Cindy Hinkle (55) – 1st place, Women 55–59

  • Denise Moore (65) – 1st place, Women 65–69

This achievement is incredibly rare. Out of more than 233,000 athletes worldwide who entered the 2025 CrossFit Open, only a small fraction advanced to the CrossFit Games. To have one champion from a local gym is special. To have two champions — both women, both in Masters divisions — is almost unheard of.

And the story didn’t stop there.

Back-to-Back Podiums at the 2025 Legends Championship

Just one week later, Cindy and Denise proved their dominance again by stepping onto the podium at the 2025 Legends Championship in Arizona, one of the premier Masters fitness competitions in the world.

  • Denise Moore earned 1st place

  • Cindy Hinkle earned 2nd place

Competing against the best Masters athletes globally, both women once again demonstrated that elite fitness doesn’t fade with age — it evolves.

More Than Medals: A Story of Resilience, Community, and Longevity

This isn’t just a competitive CrossFit story. It’s a story about what’s possible when training is done safely, intelligently, and consistently over time.

  • Cindy Hinkle is not only a world champion but also a coach at Resolution CrossFit and a cornerstone of our community. Her leadership, work ethic, and commitment inspire athletes of all ages every single day.

  • Denise Moore is a breast cancer survivor whose journey represents perseverance, resilience, and the power of movement as a lifelong gift.

“These women are rewriting the script for what’s possible at any age,” says Matt Ilharreguy, Owner and Head Coach of Resolution CrossFit.
“They show that fitness doesn’t have an expiration date — and that with the right coaching and community, you can continue getting stronger year after year.”
