Head coach, strength

Mara Quinn

Mara teaches the barbell from the dowel up. She wrote Foundations and still coaches most of it, because the first four weeks decide the next four years.

“Strong is a skill. We teach it the way you would teach any other.”

Mara came to coaching from competitive weightlifting and kept the part that matters for everyone else: positions first, load second, and a written plan for both.

She programmes Barbell Club and the Strength Block, and runs the Saturday technique clinic. If you have been told your squat is fine but it does not feel fine, she is the coach to book.
