Coach Leigh

Leigh Madoc - Class Instructor and personal training

My name is Leigh Madoc, I’ve been a trainer at Hardshell since February 2023!

Hardshell’s strong values and dedication to the community are hard to come by and I feel so lucky to be working with this team in such a supportive, inclusive community!

Dynamic fitness has always been a big part of my life; Tae Kwon Do when I was a teen, running distance when I was in college and cycling as a main form of transportation as well as a livelihood as a young adult. I take a holistic approach to health and come at it from a lot of different angles, always studying different facets of physical and mental health and well being.

I meet folks where they are at and offer sustainable programming to get folks feeling strong, capable and confident. I focus on facilitating safe, mindful movement to build strength and enhance mobility.. In working with me, you’ll gain an understanding of what your body can do rather than what it looks like. Whether you have a long history of exercise or you have never touched a kettlebell in your life, I’ve got you!

I’m a proud southsider - I love my community and I believe in the power of compassion and vulnerability. Creating a safe space for those to understand their bodies in movement and find their strength in a low pressure environment through consistency and empathy is my goal.

Lifting has brought into my life a sense of groundedness, intention and belonging while developing confidence in myself and my abilities. I love the power that training has in evolving not only one's physical health but also the wildly positive effects it has on one's mental health! I’m stoked to share the power of lifting with you!
