Leisha, originally from Mumbai, India, brings a dynamic background of over a decade in dance and a deeply personal journey into strength training. With roots in movement through Latin American dance styles such as Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, and Jive—as well as Hip Hop, Street Jazz, and Contemporary—her love for physical expression began early and laid the foundation for her fitness career.
After relocating to Germany in 2018, Leisha found herself hesitant in the traditional gym setting. Starting with Zumba classes to overcome her shyness and gym anxiety, she gradually built confidence—until one day, she picked up a 20kg barbell, and everything changed. That moment marked the beginning of her passion for strength training, starting with the Wendler 5/3/1 method, and she hasn't looked back since.
Leisha believes in a balanced, sustainable approach to health: one that fuses consistent training, daily activity, and a nutritious, wholesome, and supportive diet. For her, discipline always outweighs motivation, especially on the toughest days. Her mission is to help others fall in love with movement, develop a deep appreciation for their bodies, and embrace fitness as an act of self-love and empowerment.
Her motto: “Make harder choices today and reap the benefits for life.”
