Who we are

At Hybrid Quarters, we don’t conform to the standard coach vs members hierarchy; we are a community of training partners, supporters and friends, every person as important as the next. Without our incredible team, this gym would not be where it is today. Our very own members helped lay the floor, paint the walls and build every bit of kit in here. We help each other out in the gym and beyond.

We hold regular social events from a coffee after training on a Saturday to Summer and Christmas parties. Whilst there is no pressure to join us outside of the gym, we really hope you find yourself at home within our gym family.

Hyrox athlete and hybrid training coach at Hybrid Quarters

Sara Mahany - Co-owner and coach

Sara is one of our newer coaches at Hybrid Quarters. Her passion is very much around fitness being for everyone, from the Mums and Dads to the children you’re trying to set an example for. In terms of training focus, it’s all things hybrid training with a real focus on the Hyrox movements.

Sara’s working career to date is very much in the legal world. She came to fitness later in life than your average and feels very passionately that making time for fitness is something that anyone can and should be making time for to benefit their life in various ways. Sara is a mum of young children and has a first hand understanding of starting a fitness journey from scratch, dipping back in when you’ve had a long break and the juggles that come with struggling to make time for yourself.

Sara competes in Hyrox singles and doubles and after coming into the fitness race rather later than some, she secured herself a place in the world championships after her third race. She’s determined to make her way back there this season so you will see her putting a lot of hours into running and sleds! If there’s one word you can describe Sara as, it’s determined so we have no doubt she’ll get there. Sara has a very much can do attitude. If you think you can’t do something, she will find a way. By setting small incremental goals, she will keep you motivated and show you that nothing is impossible (it just might take time).

What to expect when you meet Sara:

  1. A huge smile and warm welcome
  2. Some sort of Hyrox-related chat
  3. Probably a new pair of trainers (she loves a new shoe, much to Daisy’s frustration!)

If you would like to speak with Daisy, Laura or Sara about how we can support you, please drop us a DM on Instagram or email us on info@hybridquarters.co.uk.
