GymHippie Holistic Personal Training

I have 140 five-star reviews on my Google Business page - the Highest in Reading 

Here are a few examples:

"I wanted a personal trainer to help me drop a few dress sizes & feel more confident in myself.

Whilst I wasn’t new to fat loss or strength training, I’d always struggled to achieve the consistency required to sustain my progress. The story was always the same: make changes —> see progress —> get derailed. Looking back, it was “all or nothing”, and it was frustrating! I’d also lost confidence when it comes to training on my own, and I wanted to get this back.

I reached out to Luke because of his track record, holistic approach, and emphasis on mindset. He was exactly what I needed. Not only did he provide structure, expertise, and a clear plan of attack, he also helped me understand myself better. This improved self-awareness was massive for me, as it’s really helped me “break the cycle” and ensure the changes I’ve made are sustainable.

Today, I still face the same obstacles as before – life happens! But with Luke’s support, guidance, and my new-found perspective, I’ve been able to keep the ball rolling on my fitness journey throughout. What would have once been barriers now just feels like small bumps in the road.

I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made. My routine feels manageable alongside my busy life. It’s just part of how I live day-to-day. I also feel much more knowledgeable in the gym, and I’m able to train confidently on my own.

I’d absolutely recommend Luke & GymHippie to anyone looking to take control of their shape & strength in a sustainable way."

"Luke is by far the best personal coach I’ve ever been with. He’s a thorough professional, very kind and understanding person.

When I decided it was time to make some changes after crossing the three-figure mark, I started looking for a personal trainer and came across several of them; what made me choose Luke is his approach to the whole process. From the initial discussion itself I’ve realized Luke is the right coach for me! The initial questionnaire he shared made me introspect about what went wrong in my two earlier failed attempts at the gym to reduce weight.

Soon I realized it’s not the weight I should reduce but the fat, and it’s not just about cutting down a few kilos in a short span but developing a healthy and sustainable lifestyle which is exactly what I was lacking. Through his journals and 1:1 chat, Luke has made me realize the mistakes I made earlier and set out a plan for how to improve and recover from the obstacles that one would face during the journey. I never understood the importance of calorie tracking and the importance of a balanced macro diet until I met Luke!

The training approach was tailored to suit my requirements/body. In the initial sessions, he emphasized the importance of bracing and the use of proper techniques, which are the cornerstone to building sustainable and injury free training. The subtle changes he recommends to the posture, or the movement could do wonders; trust me on that! I’ve hit and knew the muscles which I never knew existed before. It’s been 5 months since I started training with Luke, and I’m standing at 88kilos, which is more than 14kilos from where I started! I feel more confident, and I could feel my strength has also increased considerably, all without starving or doing an insane amount of training.

If you’re looking to make a change and want to embrace a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, you won’t find a better partner than Luke to walk you through that journey!!

A happy and proud GymHippie"

"I approached Luke over a year ago to help me identify an approach to fat-loss that could be integrated into my busy schedule. It was also during a time where I had experienced two bereavements. I was feeling low in energy & mood as well as physically sluggish and fatigued. I was pretty depressed.

Luke's holistic approach has really helped me. He is attentive, considerate and realistic. He listens.

After a thorough analysis of my needs, Luke designed a plan for me that felt attainable and integrated training alongside mindset change.

At first I was worried that results appeared slow, but over time I’ve seen big changes in my body and behaviour. I am far more conscious now, and I don't beat myself when I hit bumps in the road. Instead, I am quicker to step back into who I want to be and I no longer let one derailment control the rest of week, month, year.

I have the tools to feel in control, which means I don’t slip back into crash dieting as I did before.

I have appreciated Luke's patience & non-judgemental approach. I have all the best intentions but consistency and continuity are not my strongest traits. Luke took the time to understand my strengths & weaknesses. He also doesn't give me a hard time for making excuses because life can suck. On the contrary, everything I do is celebrated.

I don't feel like I am reaching my goals on my own, but instead I have someone who wants me to excel at taking care of myself.

Thank you Luke for all the wisdom you have instilled in me and for walking with me through some of the hardest times. You are probably the best coach I've ever had"
