What Our Athletes Say

Current and previous clients share there experience of working with Angela, stepping into the powerlifting world and developing their strength and powerlifting skills.

Alice, Oxforshire

Angela is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and just an all round lovely person. She’s helped me make more progress with my lifts than I ever have before, even when I was training much more frequently. She encourages me to push myself as long as it’s safe to do so, and her enthusiasm is contagious. I highly recommend her coaching!

Lindsey, Oxfordshire

Angela is a fantastic coach:
"If you’re looking for a coach who will calmly watch you fail a rep, tell you exactly why you messed up, and then make you do it all over again until it’s perfect—Angela is your woman.
I’ve been training with her for a few months and recently doubled down on my sessions because her 'problem-solving' is basically magic. If a movement isn’t clicking, she’ll swap it for an alternative in seconds, all while maintaining a level of positivity that’s honestly impressive given how hard she works you. Whether you’re a total newbie or an elite lifter, you want Angela in your corner. Just don't expect her to let you off the hook!"

Lucy, Wiltshire

Angela is a brilliant coach, I am a powerlifting beginner and Angela is so knowledgeable and encouraging she makes me feel very motivated. She is also very good company I always really look forward to training

Ben, Oxfordshire

"As a former rugby player and bodybuilding-inspired apostle of hypertrophy, I recently saw the barbell-based light and transitioned fully into powerlifting. I have been working with Angela since then and can confidently say she is a great coach! Firstly, she does as she preaches and the fact that she is competing on a national stage reflects her intricate depth of knowledge of the sport. Secondly, she is collaborative in her approach rather than directive; if you're a novice and you just want someone to write you a full program then Angel will do that. But, equally, if like me you enjoy having control over your own programming she can adapt or advise on training strategies based on your personal feedback and knowledge of you as an athlete. For me this has been critical in the run up to competitions in terms of adjusting training volume and intensities in order to be at peak conditioning before getting on the platform. Lastly, and this is the most important one for me in any coaching relationship, she has a great sense of humour and a genuine passion for powerlifting. If I can't establish a rapport with a coach then it doesn't matter how technically gifted they are. This, however, won't be a problem with Angela and she's been a delight to lift alongside as a training partner, and under her tutelage as an athlete.
