Kate Pankhurst

Kate is one of those ordinary people that Crossfit gets hold of, and radically transforms. Thanks to this system and the Zone diet, she changed from morbidly obese couch potato to (much smaller and healthier) Crossfitter. Read part one of her weight loss story here.

Thanks to Andrew Stemler, Kate has been immersed in Crossfit since 2007, and has passed her Crossfit Level 1 trainer exam. She teaches Beginners and Foundations classes at Crossfit London. She learned Olympic lifting with Giles Greenwood, and may be found teaching some moves at the i-Course.

Now the owner of a brand new Sports and Remedial Massage diploma, her anatomy education includes cadaver studies and dissection. As a result, she has a pretty fair idea of where the bits and piece go.

A magazine art director of many years, she designed and shot the photos for the Crossfit London book Elite Fitness Guide as well as the Olympic Lifting, Kettlebell and Ring Training guides. Is still to be found at seminars sticking a big camera up people’s noses.
