MATT
I love seeing progress and the process clients go through towards what they want to achieve. The challenges that are presented with every client/member is unique and I love helping work through them - always something to learn! Programming conditioning workouts and energy system training is my jam!
Currently focused on calisthenics and areas of #movementculture.
"I'm an ex-competitive swimmer so I love being in the water. Recently started scuba diving and am always looking for a chance to get to the beach and sea. Huge MMA fan and have spent some time training Muay Thai and boxing - enjoy smashing bags when time permits!

As a dedicated fitness coach, I help people achieve better physical and mental health, with longevity and quality of life as the ultimate goals.
Building strength, endurance, and flexibility, through the aspects of training not only helps us tackle everyday tasks more easily, but also develops mental strength.
I am also a passionate sports and clinical massage therapist.
Recently, I’ve discovered a love for fitness holidays - being able to join races or competitions while exploring different countries!

KEVIN
I'm specialised in developing strength in the simplest form while gaining the result in the process.
I enjoy watching people becoming stronger versions of themselves & realising they are stronger than they initially thought they were.
I personally enjoy lifting weights off the floor & occasionally go on a run.
Never limit your fitness to one spectrum when there are many out there to explore.
Kettlebell Coach (IKFF)
JAMIE
Jamie embodies the principles he teaches, sharing his passion for fitness through purposeful, engaging classes.
As both a Hyrox coach and professional football coach, his dynamic approach pushes you beyond your limits. Each session reveals new strengths, leaving you empowered and energised.
With expert programming and killer playlists, his classes offer the perfect mix of hard work and fun.
INTAN
I’ve been working out for 12+ years, focusing on CrossFit for the past 6. I enjoy competing as it challenges me mentally as well as physically.
Barbell cycling workouts are one of my favourite ways to train, as they make me feel accomplished.
Currently working on improving my gymnastics skills, to become a well rounded competitive athlete.
I love helping members achieve their goals and push through their mental block. The joy on their faces as they make progress is one of the reasons I enjoy coaching so much, along with seeing them pick up on new skills and movements.
It feels amazing being a part of such a supportive and positive family that we have here at D13. Hope to see you soon. ☺️
Originally from the UK - my fitness coaching journey started in 2012 as I tried to make myself a better athlete. Along this journey, I realised that the real satisfaction was helping and develop others.
As I started my OCR (Obstacle Career Race) journey in 2015, I built a community and trained them to be better racers.
A Spartan Race Ambassador since 2018, I now focus on develop Hybrid athleteswho want to get faster, stronger and more efficient in Spartan Races and other hybrid fitness events.
RAJ
KARI
I’ve been involved in weightlifting for almost 40 years, starting at age 10, following my father’s and godfather’s legacy. I competed at the national and international level, winning Finnish Championships, Nordic titles, and European Youth medals before transitioning into coaching after a knee injury.
As a coach at Vanguard Weightlifting and District 13, I focus on teaching the technical beauty of Olympic weightlifting. My goal is to help athletes develop strength, confidence, and focus through repetition and dedication, guiding them to unlock their full potential in this incredible sport.
BEN
Beginning with a CrossFit background of 3 years, now dedicated to Olympic Weightlifting for almost 10 years and counting.
With training, learning from experience with the struggle, hardship & grind to become a better individual. Not just physically, but also mentally. Especially in this sport where it can really take a toll on your body and mind.
Coaching gives me joy when I am able to see different members put in time and effort to improve, and grow as an athlete. From changes on technical aspects of a lift, understanding simple anatomy functions, & being mindful of their well being - this is crucial to positive character development for any individual today.
Generally, feeling healthy is something I am very thankful for. But personally, I feel it's the mental aspects of training that have taught me alot about myself. It's given me different perspectives in life today on how to do the best I can, and enjoy the journey :)

CHEEM
I’ve been coaching for the past 4 years and it has been a joy to see members get strongers everyday and achieve their fitness goals.
As a full time sports photographer, the functional training that I do every day has definitely helped me during my shoots as I lug a 10kg backpack full of gear as I run around chasing the athletes.
Hope to see you in one of my classes !

I enjoy seeing people learn more about themselves through physical training and how their consistent efforts can change the way they move and feel in their lives. Helping people regain lost mobility or develop new strengths is what I love about my job.
I am a martial artist at heart. I practiced Wing Chun through most of my twenties and am currently a BJJ blue belt. I love spending time in nature, hiking and chasing waterfalls. I also enjoy rock climbing and unconventional lifting.
