Hi East Dallas Crossfit!
Over the next few weeks, you’ll see an increasing number of posts to social media and this blog. My name is Kaitlin Starrett, and I’ll be the one producing some of them! I love to write, I love social media, and I love Crossfit, so (as you can imagine!) I’m excited about adding some content to help you get the most of your time at EDCF!
A little about me: I did my undergrad at UT-Austin and my master’s at Baylor, both in Kinesiology. After graduating from Baylor, I was hired on as a lecturer for undergraduate human performance courses. During that time, I taught several classes for Baylor and I launched a personal training business. I worked with a variety of clients, and I focused on nutrition and fat loss. I realized that I loved helping people reach their goals, but that I didn’t know what type of goals to set after their physique goals had been met. Then, I became exposed to Crossfit and holistic nutrition in 2012, and my world was rocked. I loved chasing performance rather than aesthetics, and I’ve had so much fun mastering my first pull up, first 1.5x body weight deadlift, first pistol, and more. There are truly no limits to what you can accomplish when you do Crossfit! As well, I adopted a paleo-zone style of eating, and I saw really great results, both in my body composition and in my general feeling of well-being. I now teach full time at Southern Methodist University as a lecturer in their Applied Physiology & Wellness department. I love teaching my students about weight training, nutrition, and the benefits of functional physical fitness. It is such a joy to share my love of fitness with my students and clients, and now I’m so excited to share with you!
When I’m not writing about fitness or working out, you can find me teaching at SMU, cooking delicious paleo meals, reading, or hanging out with friends, family and my soon-to-be husband, Brad!
I want to post about things that you are interested in, so feel free to find me at the gym (I’m usually in the evening classes!) or comment here to let me know what you want to learn about!
