Why do you love training? I love training because it offers a blend of physical challenge and mental resilience. Training gives me an outlet for stress, boosts my mood, and fosters a sense of discipline and structure. Training plays a significant role in maintaining mental health and wellbeing. I love setting goals and I love the work and process that goes into working towards those goals. Though, to me, training isn’t just about getting better physically, achieving or seeing tangible results, rather, it’s a holistic approach to achieving a healthier, happier life.

Sandra Slowik
Deputy Manager & Strength Coach
What are your qualifications? ZeroW Coach Development System. I also have my PT Level 2 and 3, GB Powerlifting Coach Lvl 1, RTS Emerging Strategies Classroom and more!
How many years have you been strength training? I’ve been strength training for about 10-11 years, and powerlifting for 7 years.
What are your best sporting achievements? 2x u57kg Welsh Powerlifting Champion.
Why do you love training? As a totally non-sporty kid, I tried to find some kind of activity that would give me joy, and after trying different things over the years (I even tried crossfit 🤫), I found strength training and powerlifting. I love its repetitiveness, you know what to expect in every session. Also, powerlifting is a sport for lazy people – you get to do 3 exercises, 9 lifts and no need to run in between! A dream sport to be involved in!
What do you specialise in coaching clients for? I’m a powerlifting coach. But I also coach more recreational lifters, as the main 3 lifts can be an amazing base to all kinds of goals.
Why do you love coaching? I could say the same thing as most coaches – that I love helping people achieve their goals, which is of course true. But what I love even more is seeing the mental changes that are happening because of strength training. Building mental resilience and respect for what our body can do is unbelievable, and it will affect your daily life in the best possible way.
What do you want new clients to know about you? I love having fun in the gym, but I am very serious about getting you a result. If you want to do it, I will give you all the tools and support that I can, so you can do the job you need to do to get the results you want. I also sometimes talk too much and I like cats.
Why should a new client get coached by you? Because I deliver!
