Hi there, my name's Luke. I'm a Pisces - apart from all the bad bits, obviously! For any fellow Myers-Briggs nerds out there, I'm also an INFJ. I've always felt fairly unconventional & quirky; a bit of a personal-growth junkie; a bit of a hippie at heart - although it took me a fair while to embrace it.
Thinking of getting professional help with your fat-loss goals? Exciting times! But there are SO many fitness professionals out there - how an earth do you choose between them!? Let's have a chat to see whether I'm the right coach for you. No strings attached! Lockdown had many affects. For me, less exercise and more food resulting in significant weight gain.
My 12-Week Fat-Loss Programme provides a methodical & personalised approach to take you from A to B - or from base camp to summit! A solid Nutrition Strategy will burn unwanted fat & promote health. A structured Training Strategy will make you stronger & reshape your body. And a bulletproof Fat-Loss Mindset will ensure that everything we do is sustainable.
To demonstrate the role of Mindset, let's look at the main objectives of our Nutritional Strategy. You see, standing between everyone and sustainable fat-loss success are three Mindset Barriers? An unpopular truth is that most people are dazed & disempowered from decades of misinformation around how to burn fat.
Whilst fat-loss success will ultimately require us to boss both our Nutrition and Training Strategies, let there be no confusion: when it comes to burning fat, nutrition is by far our most powerful weapon.
Because, when it comes to creating that all-important fat-loss prerequisite - a calorie deficit - it's infinitely more sustainable & time-effective to take control of our calories IN - via managing our nutrition - than it is to ramp-up our calories OUT - through increasing our levels of physical activity.So what about exercise?

Earlier in 2021 I was ran over by a car and consequently I ended up spending more than 6 months in crutches. In that time I had put on a lot of weight and that is why as soon as I recovered I reached out to Luke/GymHippie.
Weight loss has been a constant part of my life and I am one of those people who have tried everything (Slimming World, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, gym classes etc.). All those efforts have always helped me reduce weight but only temporarily. This time I wanted something different, something more permanent.
Before reaching out to Luke I followed him on Instagram and the advice

I’ve been working with Luke for the last 4 months to achieve my health and fitness goals, and it’s been a very positive experience. I was looking for a personal trainer after an injury over a year ago while I was exercising, I’d been to a physio and chiropractor but I knew I needed to find someone who could help with making sure I trained correctly and also to build up my muscle tone and strength without further injury. I chose to work with Luke specifically because of the principles he uses to help embed life forming health habits which I want to sustain, and not a quick fix which becomes

I found Luke due to feeling in need of a lifestyle change and realised the main obstacle getting in the way of my fitness goals was my mindset. I needed someone to identify where I was going wrong, redirect me in more goal supportive ways and most importantly to hold me accountable. Luke’s approach offered an alternative to other personal trainers with the combination of being a fitness, health, life coach and mentor all in one. Luke has been my saviour in so many ways… I have learned so much about myself on this journey, including how to adopt habits that are realistic and achievable to suit

I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted from a personal trainer when I contacted Luke. I knew I would need some accountability to help keep me on track with my goals, and Luke seemed like someone who was well matched to what I wanted.
He describes himself as more of a coach than a generic PT, and he has certainly Lived up to that.
What particularly resonated with me about Luke, is his approach to fat loss and changing eating habits.
I’ve never bothered with a “diet” because I don’t see the point in temporarily adopting a different eating pattern to shift some weight, and then ultimately

I started working with Luke after a really challenging year that had left me emotionally and physically drained. I wasn't looking for a standard 'PT', I wanted someone who would support my holistic wellbeing as I got back on track with good exercise and nutrition. Luke is the perfect coach - motivating, supportive, empathetic and a great listener. He has invested considerable effort into really understanding my values, goals and the (often self-imposed) obstacles that I've encountered on the way - all with incredible insight and good humour. No topic of conversation has been off-limit; I've laughed

If you are looking for an effective and sustainable change Luke is your guy. After years of physio and osteopathy treatments, weight loss plans and failed fitness attempts I decided to try one more time before I finally give up. Having been very active and fit for most of my life a combination of hip and knee injuries that required surgeries, and hectic professional and family life I found myself entering my fifties being constantly tired, overweight with chronic back and hip pain. There are a lot of fitness trainers and diet and wellness experts but very few offer an integrated solution. Then

I reached out to Luke after repetitively failing to make the weight loss/fitness progress I’d be chasing and feeling like I was stuck going round in circles.
I had tried several ‘personal trainers’ over the years but found them all to take a rather blunt force approach to what can often be an extremely complex problem. In essence, it was always just ‘eat less, train more’, a simplistic approach that I personally don’t find sustainable.
I chose Luke due to his ‘mindset first’ based approach, and from the start it was clear that Luke is a rarity in the world of personal development

Luke is a great trainer who equips you with both the knowledge and training for fat loss and strength. Since I started working out with him (5 month now) I have lost weight and also grown in strength and energy. His follow ups have helped me to be consistent and guided me through the journey. I am grateful and happy to recommend him.

Luke pulled me out of a bad place and has helped me to re-evaluate my everyday decisions - but more importantly, helped me stick with them. I needed help with my nutrition and I needed someone to help me build confidence in going to the gym. Before becoming a Gym Hippie, I'd never set foot in one and dreaded the thought of doing so! I look forward to my weekly sessions with Luke, enjoy my change in eating habits and can't wait to continue on my journey.

I trained with Luke for a period of 3-6 months in the run up to a holiday abroad and I can’t fault him - I enjoyed every session..I definitely had to work hard and put 100% in but the end results were amazing and I was in great shape in no time. Luke is easy to talk to, down to earth and not your typical PT. Our conversations weren’t limited to… gym, lifting and diets...many a time we spent a session waffling about star signs...right up my street 😂 oh and he’s also a talented video / photo taker if you need a few gym shots for the gram. I thoroughly recommend Luke

I really enjoy training with Luke! I joined Gym Hippie with no prior experience of strength training and really want to reshape my body and more importantly living in a healthier lifestyle. Luke leads me through the transition step by step and he really listen to your needs / concerns and tailor his approach to fit your specific requests. I have… joined the programme for 3 months now and benefited a lot from the programme by 1) living in a sustainable healthier lifestyle 2) keeping up with the hard work even during busy busy time 3) enjoying and looking forward to the weekly training and

I had been looking for a personal trainer who could help me implement a sustainable lifestyle change. I came across Gymhippie and loved his holistic approach from the start. Luke took his time getting to know and understand me and my personal goals and continues to do so every week. I have now been training with Luke for 7 weeks and I’m so happy… with the results so far. I look forward to our sessions every week and can’t wait to see how much further we can take my training. I would recommend Luke to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in your life, body and strength

I was looking for a personal trainer to demystify weight training in the gym. I had previously done CrossFit and was familiar with explosive movement but a total novice at weight training in a controlled way, under tension and undertaking progressive overload. Luke demystified the world of weight training and gym etiquette whilst building a love of… weigh training within me that will last a lifetime.
I was looking a personal trainer that I would really enjoy working with and after meeting with other personal trainers, Luke stood out to me with his holistic and sustainable approach.

Luke’s holistic approach to wellbeing is incredibly inspiring and he really gets you motivated for change. I had been going to the gym for many years before I started training with Luke and having plateaued in my workouts, he regenerated my training. The workouts are really fun and effective, and are tailored for my specific needs. I would highly recommend Luke as a PT.

When I saw Luke had a Christmas promotion on I had to take it! I had met him in the gym and was able to see how friendly and knowledgeable he is, exactly what I wanted from a personal trainer. He pushes you to learn and achieve in a supportive way, and I am now feeling much surer of my techniques and goals after even a very short time with him! I definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get more out of their workouts and feel good about it!

I can’t recommend GymHippie enough :) Just go for it, you won’t regret it! I was very impressed with his client’s progress, so I decided to enrol in this adventure. He has in mind your goal and is very supportive in helping you reach it. Before this, I felt like I was plateauing in my workouts and he helped me overcome it. This was very important to me, with him I managed to stay more focused. The sessions are very hardcore, but I always felt amazing after them! I’m very happy with the end results :)))

I’ve started working out with Luke at the beginning of the year. He got recommended to me by my previous PT. I absolutely love working out with Luke. He’s very supportive and pushes me quite often to my absolute limits. I’ve been on a weight loss journey for the past 2 years and I’ve gotten my best results with Luke over the last 9months. He’s… showed me that going to the gym doesn’t mean endless cardio, he’s helped me discover my love for weight lifting, something I never thought I’d say. I see Luke once a week but he’s gives new programmes

After my old personal trainer moved away, I was looking for someone else - really enjoying Luke's classes at Buzz Gym I asked him if he'd be free to train me. The initial assessment process with Luke was far more professional than any other PT I've had experience with; he really took the time to understand every aspect of me from what my goals and… aspirations are through to my personality and what can affect my mood! Luke has really helped me so far during the 4-5 months I've now been training with him; I've lost weight, toned up and feel good! I like working with Luke as he makes each
