Luke Wilson

Luke's personal training sessions have been my exercise lifeline over the last year. After gyms closed for shelter in place, Luke switched to virtual training sessions at the same quality and challenge as in person. His workouts consider who you are and your fitness goals. I love that he pushes me with creative workouts. We use kettlebell, dumbbells, medicine balls, and body weight. He's a stickler for form which is impressive even over FaceTime! Highly recommend Luke for personal training.

What can I say, Luke is the best. I've been through my share of personal trainers and can say that Luke is part of the 1%. Physically I am stronger and more toned just after a few months. Luke teaches technique that is total body - but like legit total body because he really pays attention to your form and educates you along the way. I always feel like he is pushing me to work out harder than I have ever in my life in each session.

You can tell that he has a lot of knowledge, passion and sincerity. In fact, Luke's professionalism, enthusiasm and overall awesomeness are so motivating that I've gone from working out 2-3 days a week to 6 days and I've changed my nutrition (food type and quantity). To say he's transforming my life seems like an exaggeration but it's not - he's motivating me to help me accomplish personal goals that I've struggled with for the past decade and doing so in a really healthy and sustainable way.

I've known Luke for a little over 4 years. In the interest of full disclosure, we worked together at a big gym, and now he trains at my studio. But he has also trained me and HE KNOWS HIS SHIT!!! His training sessions kicked my ass every time...this is a rarity since most people don't push me hard enough.
Or when they do, it just means they put more weight on and that's just boring...Luke is creative and did I mention he knows his shit??? He is very knowledgeable about all modalities, nutrition, injuries, and how to keep you interested.
He is constantly educating himself and updating his training style. I have actually learned a lot from him.
AND he's funny to boot!

I know everyone says their trainer is great, but mine really is.

Seriously.

I first heard about Luke through a coworker who I noticed had lost bunch of weight and was suddenly really fit. I called Luke the next day and 6 weeks later I had lost my extra weight in the middle ('ahem "muffin top") and could nicely fit back into my favorite jeans. I was stoked.

I guess my point is results. I mean you work out to feel better and see results right? Luke is a great coach and motivator and he'll get you to your fitness goals quick. I am not athletic at all, so I am really impressed with how Luke's workouts have built up my stamina and strength. Luke primarily uses functional training (exercises that mimic everyday movement) but he can customize different types of training to whatever your goals are.

I have been training with Luke now for six months, I've dropped 2 pant sizes and feel better than I ever have. Now people at ask me all the time "What's different, are you working out?" Results. Just sayin'.

With Luke on your side, you cannot go wrong.

He is an excellent trainer, a hilarious conversationalist, and will not let you get away with anything that keeps you from achieving your fitness goals. For me, he's been the key to losing 25 lbs (and counting) and re-learning how to effectively and efficiently workout.

You're going to benefit from his immense knowledge of all things body, fitness, and health; wicked sense of humor; sincere encouragement; and kick ass, transformative fitness plans. Bonus: He mixes up every session, so boredom is not an option.

Try him. You'll like him.

Luke is a great trainer. He knows the mechanics of the body and can work with athletes, people who want to be athletes, those of us who have injured ourselves over the years being athletes (or just plain clumsy), or someone who has never worked out before! I started training with Luke when PT didn't seem to be helping for my herniated discs. I needed to strengthen my core....big time...but without further injuring my back. And, I'm competitive with myself so I usually do dumb things and hurt myself more. Luke was great. He made a workout plan that really strengthened my core and my back felt great. Time to work on the legs. But, both my kneecaps dislocate regularly due to an accident....so no lunges or squats. Again, Luke came up with a plan and managed to tone up my legs and bum. I am really impressed. Plus, he's funny so the time flies by while you're working out.

I am an acupuncturist and I have started referring lots of patients to Luke because I am confident that he can handle whatever I throw at him. He can build someone up to be a big beefy dude if that's what they want or he can work with a patient with hip or shoulder problems and help them get in shape without injuring themselves...and often improve the problem.

I'm a big fan! You will get great results. You will learn proper techniques. And you'll have a good time.

I spent nearly two years recovering from a torn Achilles' tendon and fractured ankle, and wanted a trainer to help get the rest of me back in shape. Luke hit everything I was looking for: a good fitness program, strong nutritional guidance, and attention to my injury. He has a great, flexible attitude--he isn't a drill sergeant but he isn't a cheerleader either. He makes you do the work, focuses on you (isn't doing his own routines on the side) and makes sure your goals are the focus. He also switches things up and keeps it interesting, while making sure all the exercises are something you can do on your own (sadly, I only had ten sessions in my budget as it's rather pricey--but have been able to successfully transferred what I learned thus far).

He starts with a one-on-one sit-down so he understands exactly what you want, and it didn't count as one of my ten sessions. I kept a food and workout log that he reviewed every week and we discussed to my obsessive content. He was great, and I hope to be able to go back to him again for an inevitable tune-up...but hopefully in better shape.

A solid trainer.

Achieves a great balance of maximizing results without causing injury, an issue I've faced with other trainers who were unable to find a happy medium. Intense focus on delivering proper form. In addition to hitting my goals, Luke ensures that workouts target areas that are important for good general health (i.e., legs, back, core). Good attitude and motivational. Changes up the workout to keep it interesting and the body guessing.

I began training with Luke back in April of 2011 three times per week. Here we are -- about 8 months later -- and boy can I feel results! Luke has taken me from boy to man and we continue on the journey together enthusiastically.

I appreciate Luke's hard work, commitment to my self-improvement, advice, great attitude, humor and depth of knowledge about the human body.

One of Luke's best attributes is that he understands how the whole body works together as complete machine. For example, I used to lift weights with the idea of 'isolation'. While this is sometimes good, Luke's advice is completely contrarian. "Clench your butt cheeks" when you do push-ups, "squeeze your core" as you do rows ... all of these little morsels of advice work to making your body a cohesive organism with all parts engaged at all times. This alone has increased my strength tremendously. When I carry bags of groceries up my stairs at home I now have my lower body engaged rather than just clenching my grip and biceps. Everyday movements and tasks are so much easier when you learn to engage the entire body! We do a lot of kettle bell exercises to promote growth in these movements and to get my whole body working in unison. Bravo!

I can't wait to see what 2012 holds in store for us and cannot recommend him enough.

Thanks Luke!!

I've been training with Luke for over 2 years. Of all the trainers I've worked with, Luke is the only one who has been able to put together a workout program that was well thought out that change up and are different with each session. He takes a goal-oriented approach to training. I've consequently lost 25 pounds and much more energy through the course of the day. He knows how to motivate and push you to get to your goals.
