Amelia Rodriguez Alamo

Since her teenage years Amelia practised different sports: dance, football and tennis, but none of them provided her the chemistry she was looking for.   

Always searching and not settling, five years ago she tried weightlifting while doing CrossFit. It was love at first sight: the movements and mechanics of it called her to get deeper into it. This was when she found Hackney Weight Lifting Club and coach Patrick Atteridge.   

She has qualified as a Level 2 British Weight Lifting coach and completed the Club’s own coaching course.

She has also taken the Inner Engineering course to enhance inner well-being with meditation, yoga and a healthy diet.

Amelia can coach in English or Spanish.
