Our founders

Two athletes, a man and a woman, celebrating and jumping on a running track at the Hyrox European Championships in Vienna, Austria, 2023, surrounded by spectators and flags.

Between them, Katie and Andrew have spent a lifetime immersed in sport. Katie brings extensive experience in CrossFit and hybrid training combined with a background in competitive athletics, while Andrew adds a wealth of coaching knowledge and decades of personal involvement across countless sports. Together, they have qualified for multiple HYROX World Championships, competed in dozens of HYROX races, and participated in countless CrossFit and hybrid competitions.

They don’t just talk the talk - they’ve lived it all: the highs, the lows, the wins, the losses, the comebacks from injury, and everything in between. Passionate about CrossFit and hybrid training, and even more passionate about helping others discover their potential, they are here to guide you to get stronger, fitter, and maybe even share a few laughs along the way.
