“I go further to enable my clients to achieve their goals in a way that is enjoyable and sustainable. I do this by looking closely at nutrition, flexibility, core strength, postural imbalances and bodyweight strength”.

I will challenge you to push your body in a variety of ways to maximise your results whilst learning effective and intelligent training techniques."

ANA VELJANOVSKI

"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

"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".

KHOA

"My fitness journey begun when I was introduced to CrossFit back in 2011. Who would have thought that a fitness program would positively impact my life, as without CrossFit, I would never have discovered Weightlifting. My love for both sports is immense and im 40+ now (10+ years experience) and have never felt fitter, stronger and overall happier.

Being a coach was a natural progression and I can say that I love nothing else but to help athletes explore their potential in a fun, safe environment. I’m a strong believer in maintaining a general level of fitness to ensure the pleasures of life, whether that is playing with the kids, exploring the great outdoors, or just travelling and experience the world cultures.

"I love to coach and train. Prior to studying my degree in Sport and Phyaicsl Education I represented at County level in netball and athletics. In my final year of uni I was talent Id'd into weightlifting, picking up a barbell at the age of 20. I am a former Welsh record holder and Welsh Champion in Olympic Weightlifting. My proudest moment was holding a commonwealth ranking in Olympic weightlifting.

My passion is in helping others to achieve their goals. I have coached at junior, university, senior and masters athletes, team managing international competitions.

I look forward to working alongside the experienced coaches at Crossfit Tufnell Park and sharing my expertise to enhance your fitness experience."

MAT

I am qualified as a Level 4 Massage Therapist and am also a member of the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT). I have participated in sports my whole life, starting as early as six years old playing badminton. I have become very passionate about helping others with not just their fitness goals but also their recovery methods, which is what inspired me to pursue a university degree as well as achieving various qualifications and attending a variety of additional courses to improve my knowledge and skills. I look forward to utilising my expertise to help you make the most out of our sessions together whether you´re just needing soft tissue work to feel better or individualized programming to achieve your fitness goals!"

SARAH LAWS

"My names Sarah, I’m originally from Kent. Qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer and Level 2 Crossfit coach, and have been coaching for 6 years. After seriously injury and surgery (torn teres major) I decided to re-evaluate my career choices and embrace my passion for coaching and have been fully dedicated for the past 18 months.

I enjoy weightlifting and gymnastics as it’s always challenging. I’ve competed in several crossfit competitions, and love pushing myself. My favourite movements are push-ups and pull-ups, currently most proud of my recent 103kg bench press.

Originally with no sports background, I have built myself up from an overweight young adult. I know what it’s like to struggle and love to help people achieve their own goals, and celebrate becoming strong together.

Can’t wait to join the community, coaching and training with you all. Please come introduce yourself to me, and hit me up if anyone wants to 1-2-1 training. @rarah89"
