  • Leah Powell

    Strength Coach

    Leah truly cares—about people, progress, and lifting others up…literally and figuratively!
    Trained as an occupational therapist who first joined Strong Space as a member, Leah quickly fell in love with strength training and the incredible transformations she witnessed—members going from “shit to shiny” time and time again. Inspired by the real, lasting changes happening around her, she made a bold career shift to become a coach herself. Now, she brings her therapeutic expertise and deep empathy to every session. Oh—and she’s also a squat powerhouse!
