Kim Washington built a successful career in public and higher education, including serving on President Barack Obama’s Presidential Inaugural Committee and supervising White House interns during President Obama’s administration. Her life later took a dramatic turn when she developed an autoimmune disease, gained significant weight, and faced serious health challenges, including liver fibrosis, diabetes, and mobility limitations that at one point required her to use a wheelchair. At her lowest point, 380 pounds and on multiple medications, Kim began rebuilding through water aerobics, cardio, and strength training, eventually leading to weight loss surgery. When progress stalled, she dug deeper, learning to address metabolism, hormones, and inflammation through nutrition counseling and management, intermittent fasting, hormone replacement therapy, and later using GLP-1 medication as a supportive tool rather than a shortcut. Today, Kim has maintained her goal weight since 2022, eliminated major health conditions, and competes in various senior games, earning two silver medals and a gold in cycling at the Louisiana State Games (all in one day) and placing fifth in the 20K time trial race at her first Huntsman World Senior Games.

From an upbringing in Central California to life now in northern Utah, Bill Baker has spent decades chasing adventure outdoors: road and mountain biking, climbing iconic spots like Yosemite National Park and Joshua Tree National Park, and living all-in on movement. In addition to his career in pharmaceuticals most of his life, he was a private pilot for 35 years. However, in early 2025, everything changed. After a spinal complication left him unable to walk, Bill didn’t back down. He set bold goals that he has already surpassed, defied expectations, and fought his way back onto a bike, eventually competing at the Huntsman World Senior Games in a 25-mile gravel biking race at just a fraction of his strength. Bill continues to rebuild, push, and chase new goals along with his wife, three sons, and four grandsons.
