Alana Lawes

Head of HYROX, Coach

-‘The best hour of your day’ is a quote I live by when it comes to coaching. I want you to step into class, feeling supported, celebrated and educated so you are always looking forward to the next session.

Ive been the person hidden in the corner of the gym with 1 pair of DBs feeling like I was ‘getting in the way’ and this has been a huge driver to becoming a coach. Seeing women step into their confidence and realise they are capable of far more than they ever thought whilst feeling a sense of belonging at the gym is without a doubt my favourite thing about coaching!

CrossFit and Hyrox are for everyone, no matter your start point and one of the best things is witnessing someone do something for the first time especially when they have put hours of work in to get there. Whether you want to compete or just doing it for your own health and wellbeing, Adira is such an incredible community to be a part of and achieve the goals you have.
