Sarah is passionate about Olympic weightlifting and is responsible for the Olympic weightlifting programming. In her classes she breaks down the snatch and clean & jerk into clear, manageable drills, focuses on improving mobility and bar path, and supports lifters to build confidence under the bar in a safe, structured way.
Rachael Parkman
Ladies Who Lift beginners coach
Rachael is our wonderful beginners/improvers coach, focussed on the Ladies Who Lift Sunday sessions. Her aim is to help you learn to lift safely, to understand why we lift the way we do, and to build your confidence in the gym. In her sessions she takes time to explain technique in simple terms, offers plenty of individual feedback, and creates a welcoming, judgment‑free space for women who are completely new to lifting as well as those returning after a break.
Chris Ekers
Olympic Weightlifting coach
Chris is one of our specialist Olympic Weightlifting coaches, coaching on both our beginners courses/workshops and in the regular classes. He is known for his eye for technical detail and his patient, encouraging coaching style. Whether you are learning the lifts for the first time or refining your technique for heavier attempts, Chris will guide you through structured progressions, from positions with the stick to confidently lifting from the floor.
Lisa Hu
Strength and Mobility coach
Lisa is one of our powerlifting coaches, also with an interest in mobility. She coaches Ladies Who Lift and Building Strength classes, as well as our mobility workshops and courses. In her sessions she combines strength work with mobility and movement prep, helping you improve your range of motion, reduce niggles and feel more confident in the main lifts, so you can train hard while looking after your body for the long term.
