Leuca

Now offering both Personal Training and Run Coaching!

My name is Leuca Hanish! I have two years of coaching experience, and I am a certified personal trainer at the Downtown and Vernon YMCAs. I have been a runner for 13 years, including on the Allegheny College team where I was a key scoring member of three Presidents’ Athletic Conference titles. As a senior, my teammates recognized my value to the team as someone who connected on a personal level and helped them manage stress, and voted for me to receive the “Life of a Runner” award. Since graduating college, I have run 3 marathons. I won the ORRRC Xenia Marathon in 2024, and I qualified for and ran the Boston Marathon and Chicago Marathon in 2025. I was a volunteer assistant cross country and track coach for the Allegheny teams, where I provided mentorship and training advice to each runner based on what they wanted to get out of their experience. I approach training with compassion and guidance to set you up to reach your goals, whether you want to get into shape, run a marathon, or anything in between.
