Hi, I’m Caitlin Murphy and I created Fit Fab Cities to share all my favorite things when it comes to being fit and looking fab. I’m a fitness instructor and television fitness/ lifestyle reporter and I love trying and exploring new and fun ways to get in shape. It’s no fun keeping all those fitness finds to myself so I’m really excited to share all my favorites here on my blog.
I’m also a beauty editor and proud owner of the largest fashion and style magazine collection known to man. I’m a beauty and style junkie who is always blissfully happy walking the aisles of Sephora looking for the perfect lip gloss and flipping through the new JCrew catalog obsessing over the ballet flats.
I’m excited to share anything and everything from fitness and style to beauty, food and more…things I think make life a little more fit and a little more fab.
So, here is a bit of what you’ll find…
Fitness
- workout videos (straight from my classes or when I’m loving at the moment)
- printable workouts
- workout playlists
- reviews: classes, trends, products
- Motivation Monday quotes and fitspiration
- tips and more
- beauty tips and makeup and hair tutorials
- outfit inspiration
- must haves
- things I come across that I just love:)

Hi Caitlin! I just found your blog through FitSugar’s 40 Minute Treadmill Workout link-I love it! You have the same philosophy as I do when it comes to fitness and fashion! I’ll be visiting much more!
Thanks Katie!I’m so glad you like my blog! I think I’m going to try your “They Don’t Wear Gray Workout” this week and I’m excited to let you know how it goes, it looks great!
Please do! It’s a toughie!
Hey Caitlin!
Wow. Just stumbled upon your blog from a interest post, and I am honestly in heaven. How did I not know about this gem before? I can honestly say already you are one of my favorite blogs.
Plus, it’s awesome that you live in Seattle, because I’m from Washington as well! My brothers both attend UW (well, the older one is graduating in a few days), and while I’m at University of Portland in Oregon, I still am a big Husky. It’s kinda awesome that you’re a big deal (not to quote Anchorman, haha), but typically you expect blogs that are this detailed and well done are from those in California or New York. Way to rep the Pacific Northwest!
oops. Autocorrect got me! Pinterest*, not an interest post haha.
