    Neil Laverty

    Affiliate Owner
    I’ve been doing CrossFit for 18 years, coaching for 15 and have owned 8020 for the last 11 years.

    In that time we’ve had over 30 appearances at regionals / semi finals and 9 appearances at The CrossFit Games.

    After achieving a lifetime ambition of sending someone to the games in every category, I recently took a step away from competitive coaching to focus on my true passion, helping normal people achieve extraordinary results in their health and fitness.

    8020 isn’t about elite athletes, it’s about giving people passionate about their fitness a community and second home to spend time with others achieving things they never thought possible.

  • Emma Willis

    CrossFit Coach
    I’ve been coaching CrossFit for 5 years and personal training for 7 years. I have a first class honours in Sport & Exercise sciences, CrossFit level 2 qualified and Precision Nutrition Level 1.

    The variety of training got me keen to start CrossFit, and have never looked back from when I started. I have completed at the CrossFit Games in 2022 on Team CrossFit 8020 (the first Irish team to make it to the Games).

    CrossFit Coach
    I am Coach Dave, I have been a coach/PT for the best part of the last decade and the last 4 years full time here at 8020. I am currently a CrossFit Level 2 Coach (Programming & Scaling Certs also).

    As cliche as it is when your 'work' doesn't feel like 'work' you know you are in the right place. Getting to help people achieve goals that they may have previously thought impossible is truly the most rewarding part

    In my own training I love all things barbell - the heavier the better, with that said gymnastics is rapidly catching up.

    Sporting background outside of CrossFit ranges from rugby to MMA.
