More than just a gym.

OWNER / COACH

I started CrossFit in 2011 and I have never looked back. I have had great experiences, competing at national and international CrossFit competitions and the CrossFit Regionals. We created CrossFit Leyland in 2012 with a focus on creating a community CrossFit gym with the aim to help every single member at CrossFit Leyland achieve their goals, whatever they may be!

Having a baby last year, it is important for me to show how fitness can still be a part of family life. The benefits that it bring both physically and mentally are outstanding and it is a fantastic way to become a role model for my son.

OWNER / COACH

I started CrossFit 11 years ago. I was doing general fitness events, open water swimming and triathlons and wanted to try something new to add to my training. I liked the idea of a mixture of training styles from olympic lifting to gymnastics and had read a lot about CrossFit methodology.

Now I am getting older, 11 years in, I train for longevity and making sure I am the fittest I can be.

Favourite lift - Bench press

Favourite thing about CrossFit - That no workout is the same and to see people develop and grasp things and being able to be part of that journey with them.

Favourite WOD - Helen

Interesting Fact - I used to be a breakdancer!

COACH

I started CrossFit 6 years ago after being dragged along by an enthusiastic friend! I had never heard of CrossFit and didn't know what to expect. What I found was something that challenged me (and still does) daily, supports a positive mindset and most of all, has brought some amazing friendships with it.

Crossfit for me is about enjoyment, community, keeping as fit as I can be and seeing people achieve things they never thought possible!

Favorite movement: Burpee

Favourite lift: Hang power clean

Favourite thing about CrossFit: Community + everyone cheering each other on

Interesting fact: I have walked the Inca Trail in Peru 11 times!

COACH

I started CrossFit 5 years ago when I was working in a commercial gym. I wanted to do something very different to the training I was used to and I became addicted to the variety, the challenge and learning something week by week.

For me, CrossFit is a healthy relationship with exercise, body, nutrition and mental health and to be able to relate to members is one of the best parts of coaching.

Favourite movement: Push up

Favourite lift: Bench

Favourite thing about CrossFit: Seeing people achieve things they never thought possible

Interesting fact: I can drive a lorry
