From finding CrossFit through a grainy GIF in the early 2000s to opening one of the first affiliates in the world, Starrett reflects on the ideas that shaped the methodology and the lessons learned through decades of coaching athletes, Olympians, and everyday people.This conversation explores durability over time, why pain is not a failure but a request for change, and how movement quality, range of motion, and basic strength set the foundation for performance at every age.Starrett and host Jocelyn Rylee dig into the future of CrossFit, from longevity and conditioning to the irreplaceable value of affiliates as places built around coaching and community. This episode is an honest look at what CrossFit has always been about and what it can become if we apply what we have learned.Topics CoveredThe early days of CrossFit and the original affiliate cultureMobility, durability, and reframing pain in trainingWhy youth athletes need movement literacy before specializationTraining for sport versus training only for fitnessThe future of CrossFit and longevity-focused strength and conditioningResources MentionedThe Ready State Becoming a Supple Leopard by Kelly StarrettBuilt to Move by Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett800-Gram ChallengePower Monkey FitnessThe Anxious Generation Kelly on SocialInstagramFacebookTiktokXYouTubeCommunity HighlightKristin Savage grew up around autoimmune disease.
