LastLift About
The person behind LastLift.
Background
I have been under a barbell since I was 15. I am 47 now. In the time between I have competed in powerlifting, trained as a strongman, bodybuilder, and CrossFit athlete, and ridden road bikes long enough to know the difference between training hard and training smart.
I am a Level 3 personal trainer and a Les Mills instructor across three formats. I have been teaching Body Pump for over twelve years, Body Attack for over sixteen, and GRIT for over twelve. Each format is a different coaching challenge — GRIT in particular demands precision cuing under fatigue in ways that group barbell work does not.
Between group formats and one-to-one programming, I have spent a long time learning what works in practice rather than just on paper. I have had enough injuries of my own to specialise in rehabilitation training alongside strength coaching. When you have rebuilt a body from damage more than once, you stop treating recovery as optional.

Why I built LastLift
Most workout trackers are built to impress you in the app store, not help you in the gym. They add features until logging a single set requires four taps and two screens.
LastLift does one thing: shows you what you lifted last session and gets out of your way. I built it for the same reason I use it — because the gym is for training, not for navigating software.
