Meet your coach!
Hi, my name is Lee-Ann. I’m a national-level powerlifter with multiple podium finishes at National Championships. I’ve also had a rewarding career as a primary & secondary teacher, including in leadership as an Assistant Principal.
I first discovered the incredible benefits of strength training in 2017. Even while working full-time as a teacher, I quickly realised it profoundly improved not just my physical health, but also my mental wellbeing, helping me manage stress, boost my energy levels, and even better handle my overall workload.
Now, as a co-owner of MDSTRENGTH, I hope to help others experience the benefits of strength training. I am excited to share my love for getting strong and can’t wait to see you experience it for yourself!

Mark and Lee-ann made me feel very safe and supported as I learned new skills. They both really know their stuff and are extremely patient. They want you to do your best. The space is clean and really well resourced and the atmosphere friendly. I’ll be continuing at the next level.”
