Dorota is passionate about all things fitness, especially weightlifting, CrossFit and competition. Whether she’s competing
individually or working as part of a team, she loves a challenge and thrives on pushing her own limits.
As a coach, Dorota is passionate about helping people move well, build strength and develop healthy habits that last.
For her, it’s about more than lifting heavier or getting fitter — it’s about moving with confidence, building a strong foundation
and feeling good both inside and outside the gym.
Outside the gym, Dorota is a mum, a PE instructor within the Prison Service and a
volleyball lover, so sport and staying active are a huge part of her life.
With a background in powerlifting, competitive rowing, and swimming, Leah was once a CrossFit sceptic turned convert.
After giving it a go in 2023, the community and coaching team completely won her over.
She loves the variety of movements and the constant pursuit of improvement—developing new skills in her 30s.
Now, she’s on a mission to build strong, capable athletes and help people feel confident with a barbell in hand.
A big fan of weightlifting and the assault bike (yes, really), she’s always first in for a barbell workout…
burpees and running are still a work in progress.
