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.
SETH
Seth is our Weightlifting Coach. Know for his kindness and love for Arianna Grande, here he is in his own words:
"I am a BWL Level 2 Olympic Weightlifting Coach and a certified Personal Trainer. I represented Wales at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. I am a British Champion and multiple Welsh Champion. During my weightlifting career I developed an interest in utilising the Olympic lifts combined with functional training to maximise fitness development and athletic performance.
My easy-going approach, patience and experience enables me to coach in a manner that is fun, friendly, and informative. I believe in simplicity of training combined with hard work and determination. In my eyes, there is no magic pill, or shortcuts in attaining fitness goals.
Train hard. Train smart. Lift easy".
