Marianna

Coach

I’m a CrossFit Level 1, L1 Olympic Weightlifting coach, and L4 Sports & Conditioning coach with a huge love for team sports. CrossFit has been the foundation of my success in competing at national and international levels in Quadball for both England and Spain at European and World Cup events. I’ve also been selected for the Manchester regional tag rugby female team. I also love marathon running, having completed Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Valencia-with my sights now set on a trail ultra race! At CrossFit PRL, my goal is to help athletes of all levels reach their maximum potential and elevate their game inside and outside the gym. I also offer personal training for those working on their first TTB, pull-up, or handstand push-up, as well as sports-focused programming for running and team sports. Keep an eye out for my dog, Russ, who often comes along to help “coach” classes with me!

Jo

Coach

I’ve been doing CrossFit for more than 10 years now and started coaching just before the pandemic hit – coaching on Zoom was an experience!!! I absolutely love CrossFit and helping everyday people to improve and achieve things they never dreamed they were capable of. Seeing your confidence grow is such a privilege as a coach. I definitely prefer barbell work over gymnastics, and my favourite movements would be rowing, burpees, and barbell cycling. I’m a qualified CF coach, PT, and Nutritionist.

Martyn

Coach

Passionate about health, fitness, and flavour, I’m a qualified chef with a love for CrossFit. Whether I’m in the kitchen crafting balanced, high-performance meals or pushing limits in the gym, I’m all about discipline, creativity, and making the most of my time in and out of the gym.

Chris

Coach

With over 12 years of training experience and 6 years deep into the CrossFit life (I’ve tried most fads and I am still finding all the wrong ways of doing stuff so you don’t have to!), I’ve finally taken the plunge and earned my CF-L1, completing the journey from member to athlete to coach.

I love and believe passionately in the CrossFit methodology: everything it brings to the table and everything it pulls out of the people who show up for themselves every day. What could be more rewarding than dragging others down the rabbit hole with me?

Leah

Coach

Sport and exercise have always been part of my life, but things got serious when I discovered CrossFit five years ago. Turns out I’d finally found something I was half decent at which is annoying, because I wish I’d found it 10 years earlier 🙂 I was thrown in at the deep end and absolutely loved it. Six months in, I somehow ended up on the dance floor RXing with Rach and Sal, and I’ve never looked back.

The pain cave is somewhere I weirdly enjoy being, but most importantly, I fell in love with it because of the people and the way we celebrate each other.

No matter your fitness level, CrossFit or HYROX (I’m a recent convert to the dark side of dodgy wallball standards 😜) genuinely enhances your life.

It’s not about comparing yourself to others it’s about tracking your own progress. It’s your journey, and if I can play even a small part in supporting you and being your biggest cheerleader, then I’m here for it.

P.S. I’m the Welsh one.

Owen

Coach

An L2 Coach with a passion for sport. I turned to CrossFit after sustaining multiple injuries whilst playing rugby as a kid and all through university. The constantly varied approach to training and high emphasis on skill has made CrossFit stick for me and the benefits of training in a great community have scratched that itch I had from leaving team sport behind. I’ve not looked back since. Always down for a competition and favourite workout is Helen.
