Scott has a particular interest in developing mobility and healthy joints in his athletes, and in championing the long-term benefits of CrossFit.
Sam found a passion for strength and conditioning whilst playing a few seasons of American Football in Colchester. After leaving the team he continued his strength training with the usual powerlifting/bro split style lifting
After watching the “Fittest on Earth” documentaries Sam decided to give CrossFit a try and hasn’t looked back!
He attended classes for about a year – finding new skills, strengths and an amazing new community and then decided to take his CrossFit L1 certificate so he could start to pass on his love of the methodology onto others.
Sam loves to see the self belief that can be born from CrossFit training. Watching people try it for the first time and starting to realise what their body is capable of – and the sense of achievement that comes with it.
Leah came to CrossFit after a very active childhood with trampolining, netball, swimming, ballet and finally finding her passion for horseriding, primarily showjumping, at age 11. After breaking her back in a bad accident, she hung up her riding boots and took up bootcamp style training.

After two years, she realised that she had reached her limit of physical conditioning and needed to address strength and mobility — leading her to the door of CrossFit Blackwater in 2017.
Since then, Leah has trained through two pregnancies, recovering and rehabilitating after each to participate in various team competitions, including Tribal Clash, Turf Games and Rep It Out.
Leah is a true believer in “Exercise is a celebration of what the body can do,” appreciating how it can keep us all healthy and vibrant throughout our lives.
