ANA VELJANOVSKI

Ana has duel role in CFTP. She is our manager and one of our coaches. She combines both roles with the knowledge and passion in managing and delivering high quality service to our members and visitors from around the world and making everyone feel welcome at CFTP. 

"My passion for fitness began when I was only 9 years old participating in all the sport my school had to offer. At 11 years old I found my calling in handball and competed professionally for several years before I deciding to relocate to the UK. I joined a gym but working out alone wasn’t much fun until a friend mentioned CrossFit. That was 2011, when I first joined a Crossfit box. I was later given an amazing opportunity to become a coach and since then, I haven't looked back. Helping people achieve their fitness goals drives me to be a better coach every day.

DAVID CAMARINHA

David is one of our CrossFit Coaches. Know for his boundless energy and awesome(!) playlists, here he is in his own words:

"My first experience with exercise came at the back of my friend's butcher shop... he was a lot older than me and asked me to lie on the floor and bench press a 20kg bag of potatoes for an AMRAP... From that moment... I caught the fitness bug and that was without stepping foot in the gym..

A few years later I became a personal trainer and have helped people transform their lifestyles and bodies - check out my client transformations on Instagram at: beforeandafter_ltd 

My goal for any member is to make sure they are smiling from start to finish - whilst still making sure they are working as hard as they can safely, efficiently and learning from every class - leaving the gym feeling they have achieved fitness and can’t wait to come back to go through the trenches all over again!!"
