Meet the Men & Women Who Make Crystallyn Kay’s Studio Feel Like Family
At Crystallyn Kay’s Studio, we believe that community is everything.
It’s not just about burpees, sweat, or how strong your core is (although we love that too). It’s about showing up for yourself, being surrounded by people who cheer you on, and leaving every class a little stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
We’re proud to say that our space is made up of some of the kindest, most determined people you’ll ever meet. Here’s a peek into just a few of the stories that make CKS feel like home—for both women and men in our Sheldon community.
Madison Dykstra:
“She dragged me here… now I love it.”
“When Lanette (my wife) told me she was going to a hot yoga class, I thought, what in the world is that now?! I’d never been into fitness, and honestly, I was a little reluctant to try it.”
But Madison said yes to the challenge—and hasn’t looked back. After hitting his one-year anniversary at CKS, he’s now a staple in our community.
“I actually really enjoy going. There’s yoga, sure—but it’s way more of a workout than I expected. Every instructor brings something different, and the energy is always encouraging.”
Madison and Lanette now plan their schedules around CKS, using it as quality time, motivation, and a shared lifestyle shift.
“Crystallyn, thank you for making your dream a reality. You’re helping so many of us become stronger and more confident in ourselves.”
Lauren Thorson:
“I was out of shape and hesitant.
Now I’m hooked.”
“When I got the text asking if I wanted to come to hot yoga, I was unsure. I wasn’t working out, and honestly, I was a little worried it would be too much.”
But Lauren trusted the invite. And what started with one class turned into a life-changing routine.
“Now I go to 3–4 sculpt classes a week. If I miss one, I feel off. My favorite thing about CKS is that it’s my time—to move, reset, and forget the stress of daily life.”
She’s now one of the warmest, most consistent faces in our studio. Her advice?
“If you’re nervous, try just one. The people are kind, the classes are different every time, and you’ll never regret trying something that makes you feel this good.”
Lindsey Maggert:
“I had no motivation—until CKS.”
“Before CKS, I struggled to stick with anything. I’d try to work out at home but never pushed myself. I had no consistency.”
Group fitness changed everything.
“There’s something powerful about being in a room with people who are pushing through with you. CKS gave me a balance between challenging myself and enjoying the process.”
A year later, Lindsey’s transformation isn’t just physical—it’s emotional.
“I’ve become a better version of myself. If you’re on the fence, sign up for your first class. You’ll walk in nervous and leave proud.”
Wendy Robinson:
“One class changed everything.”
“I was in a bit of a slump—nothing was clicking. I’d stopped going to the gym and needed something new to spark that fire again.”
Wendy took a chance on one of Crystallyn’s very first classes back in Sioux Falls, and it turned out to be exactly what she didn’t know she was looking for.
“I was hooked after the first class. It felt fresh, challenging, and fun—and the people were incredible.”
Now, Wendy’s a CKS regular. With a full-time remote job and four kids (two in college!), she still makes time for the studio—and even brings her daughters when they’re home.
“The strength and energy I’ve gained here goes beyond physical. I feel like myself again.”
We’re so lucky to have Wendy as part of the crew. She shows up, supports others, and leads with joy—reminding us that one brave ‘yes’ can shift everything.
This Is CKS.
