About Karolina

I’ve been involved in strength sports for around a decade and my journey with powerlifting started in 2016. Despite competing at regional and national level, coaching is where my heart is and always has been. My coaching journey started in 2018 after obtaining my level 3 PT, and shortly after my S&C. I am a British Powerlifting Level 2 Coach (IPF Level 1) with international-level experience, having coached Team Scotland at Commonwealth Championships in 2024. I also hold up-to-date WADA and Safeguarding Qualifications. Throughout my career, I coached clients of various levels, ages, and abilities. From absolute beginners to national level lifters, folks coming back from major injuries or those who don’t even want to powerlift, just want to get strong.

I encourage my clients to get involved with the community, build connections, support one another and, as they are making steady and sustainable progress towards their goals - have fun. You don’t need to fit into a ‘insta-perfect’ mould to be a good powerlifter. And a good egg. And a little mischief inside.

Client Testimonials

Caitlin Arbuckle-MacLeod

I've really enjoyed my time with Karolina and got so much out of her coaching since I started with her; with her insight and guidance over the months I've been able to both manage an ongoing injury while building strength and improving technique significantly. I always feel comfortable contacting her with any questions I have, big or small, and feel like I can really rely on her patience and expertise to help me stay focused on my training journey.

Dayna Smith, 63kg Scottish Junior Champion & University Silver Medalist

Being coached by Karolina has been such a great and worthwhile experience. She has so much insight and knowledge regarding lifting to give and share. Working with her has massively improved my form and as a result my strength. I always feel comfortable contacting her with any questions and her replies are always very speedy. She is also fantastic at holding me accountable with my training.
