Meet Lina

Certified Fitness and Weightlifting Coach 

I’m deeply passionate about helping people realise what they’re capable of. I know I can come across as a bit intense at times, which I put down to my Lithuanian roots and a genuine care for doing things properly. Like a lot of people, I’ve struggled with body image, and fitness became a turning point for me. I didn’t truly begin my strength journey until the age of 28, which showed me that it’s never too late to change. Training taught me to see my body not for how it looked, but for what it could do.

 

My journey hasn’t been straightforward. Recovering from a slipped disc forced me to really understand biomechanics, movement, and rehabilitation, not just in theory, but in real life. That experience shaped how I coach and sparked a commitment to ongoing learning, leading me to qualify in Personal Training, CrossFit, Weightlifting, and Gymnastics.

 

Now in my 40s, I’m often amazed by what the body is capable of when it’s supported properly. Everything I’ve learned through sport, setbacks, and coaching now feeds into how I support others. My focus is on helping people build strength safely, develop balanced habits, and grow the confidence to take on challenges both inside and outside the gym.

​

Olympic Weightlifting 

I was 29 years old when I decided to give this sport a go. Knowing most of serious competitors start in their teenage years and not having a sports back ground, I kept an open mind. But the sport has taken me to regional and national competitions and I am quite proud of my achievements.

All though I stopped competing a few years back I am still very passionate about it. I love the sport. It is so complex and challenging, but rewarding at the same time. When you do it all right and make a very heavy barbell feel weightless in the air, it makes you feel like a super human. It trains all of the 6 motor skills: agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction and speed. You carry out motor skills when your brain, nervous system and muscles work in concert to move parts of your body in large or small manoeuvres. And it all transfers into meeting the demands of daily tasks. 

I a certified British Weightlifting Level 2 coach. I would love to share my experience and help others to perfect their lifts. And don't worry I know not everyone wants to get involved with Oly Lifting and that’s ok, there are plenty of other ways to get all the benefits of the sport.
