Coached By Lou

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Lou I got into great shape ready for my honeymoon! Lou has provided a first class experience that has enabled me to lose fat, gain muscle mass and build good habits. I really enjoy the weekly PT sessions that get the best out of me. The training plans are carefully planned and tailored to my goals. These are regularly changed to ensure they don’t get tiresome. One of the best things I have learned is how to appropriately plan my nutrition when in a deficit, the strategy really helps keep the hunger away! Lou managed to hold me to account in a supportive way which didn’t feel pushy or judgy. As a result, I managed to get into the best shape of my life. I highly recommend Lou to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I am a client with Lou and have just started my second block of 12 weeks. I am an avid exerciser and attend many varied classes a week. I am nearly 60 years old and want to be the best version of myself when I hit this milestone. I have had PT at the gym but wanted something more specific and more tailored to me that also included nutrition/diet and accountability. I didn’t have lots of weight to loose (I was 9st 10.8) but wanted to move some stubborn lbs but more specifically become stronger, leaner and more defined and build muscle. I have achieved so much thanks to Lou. He listens and pushes you to achieve your goals. My diet has been great, my weight has shifted, my body shape has changed so much. But most importantly I am so strong, healthier, and happier mentally because of these achievements. Sadly I didn’t take before photos but I have lost the 13 lbs (now 8st 12.3) I wanted I have lost 11 1/2 inches. Thank you! I am excited to see where I can take this and how much more I can do. If anyone is thinking of taking on a PT please look no further than Lou. You just need to commit and you will achieve so much. He is so good at what he does, the sessions are enjoyable, the nutrition plan is easy to follow, great accountability. Just do it!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lou for 12 weeks. In that time I have lost 28 lbs in weight and 6 inches from my waist. The whole experience is very professional, Lou understood my goals and provided me with a nutrition plan and was always keen to answer any questions. In the training sessions Lou is supportive, pushing me to improve with every exercise. I have been provided with exercise on an app to do at home or when I have been away on holiday. I can’t recommend Lou enough. I look forward to each session and will be continue to be coached by Lou.

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible/transformational experience working with Lou! His expertise, dedication, and personalised approach truly transformed my fitness journey and allowed me to lose over 15Kg. From the start, he took the time to understand my goals, lifestyle, and fitness level, creating a tailored workout plan that was both challenging and achievable even with my creaking body! His enthusiasm and encouragement kept me motivated, even on the tough days. Beyond fitness, his guidance on nutrition was a game-changer. He provided practical, sustainable advice that helped me make healthier food choices without feeling restricted. Some of the recipes are so good! I eat the Wheetabix cheesecake for breakfast every morning now :) Lou was always professional, punctual, and genuinely invested in my progress. Whether it was adjusting exercises to suit my needs or checking in on my nutrition habits, he went above and beyond. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health!

Fantastic experience: Lou has guided me through a 16 week programme which I’ve just completed and finished with a massive 40 pounds off and 7 inches off my waist. I looked forward to every session and if you trust his method and stick with it the results come fast. I opted for Lou as I got one to one sessions tailored for me and weekly support, progress photos and monthly reports from him showing me how my strength was increasing and that all important waist line was reducing. Guidance whenever I needed it and the hour with him each week was a chance to ask questions and check in while he guided me through a session. Can’t compliment Lou and his work any higher he is a top notch coach and a great guy. Thanks Lou !

Fantastic experience: I worked with Lou as my online coach for 4 months, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Over that time, I lost close to 2st sustainably and felt myself getting noticeably stronger in the gym. I learned so much about calorie management and planning ahead, which made it easy to stay on track while still enjoying weekends out and social events. Lou checked in with me on WhatsApp three times a week, which really helped with accountability and motivation. We also had monthly phone check-ins to review progress and adjust any goals or focus areas. His app is super easy to use and made tracking food, steps, and workouts really straightforward. Lou’s a genuinely great guy—motivating, approachable, and clearly passionate about helping his clients succeed. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Lou highly enough. From the very first session, it was clear that he adopts a personalised approach to training, tailoring every workout to my individual goals and needs. Lou takes the time to understand what works best for me, ensuring I see real progress while staying motivated. What sets Lou apart is his dedication beyond the gym. His ongoing support throughout the week is invaluable. His bi-weekly check-ins provide encouragement and keep me accountable - this makes a huge difference in my consistency and results. Lou genuinely cares, and it shows in every aspect of his coaching. Thanks to Lou, I feel stronger, more confident, and excited about my fitness journey. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in your progress, look no further!

Fantastic experience: Louis is wonderful in every way. I am a menopausal woman who had almost given up on fat loss. Yet in only 5 months, I am down 33lbs with no hunger! When I fall off the wagon he knows exactly what to say to get me back on track. It’s like having a fat loss wizard in my pocket. Slowly but surely together we are reversing the negative self-talk in my head. Louis has a great system of a proper chat beforehand to find out the issues and see if we could work together- with me it was stubborn weight loss, complete overwhelm and a feeling of defeat after trying so many diets. It was immediately obvious he not only knew his stuff but was warm and encouraging. We discussed what type of eating plan I would like, and he gave me the confidence to go for it. I haven’t looked back. Alongside this he set up a weight training programme where I see clear progress day in and day out. It is very motivating and enables me to be consistent - something I previously struggled with. He uses a clever system where he can see what I’m logging on MyFitnessPal and how the workouts are going. I love the accountability. Although I have lost 33lbs so far - this is just the beginning. With Louis’ knowledge I want to completely recomposition my body and head into my older years as strong and in the best shape of my life. If you’re unsure of which coach to go for, choose Louis - you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Lou highly enough, he is passionate about helping people realise their unlimited potential! I first visited Lou, carrying a rotator cuff injury, after being told I need to strengthen my shoulder muscles. I am a keen Pilates student who has never lifted weights so Lou produced a personalised programme and nutrition plan, which had me hooked. Lou keeps in touch supporting, encouraging, celebrating successes and reminding me of my goals when I stray from the path! I love my weekly visits, I feel stronger, fitter and healthier than ever and I’m now within a couple of kilos of my target weight. My shoulder issue has completely disappeared. I am lifting weights that I thought were unachievable and feel amazing. Thanks Lou!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lou for a number of months now and he is hands down the best personal trainer I have ever had. He is knowledgable, motivating and knows how to get results. I was able to reach my goal weight and fitness level without having to sacrifice too much of the things I love, meaning it is actually enjoyable and I wasn’t dreading boring meals and workouts as I have done previously. The process has taught me how to stay consistent and not yo-yo, so I now feel comfortable and happy in my own skin! Best of all Lou is really kind, friendly and approachable and makes you feel really comfortable. You absolutely won’t regret signing up with Lou!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lou for the past 6 weeks and can already see a massive difference in my shape and strength. I’m peri menopausal and wish I’d started years ago. Lou is professional, supportive and consistent with his training. He uses an easy to use phone app, to track everything. Totally recommend.

Fantastic experience: Coached by Lou, amazing 1-2-1 personal training I am at the much older age range of Lou’s clients and have replacement joints and other mobility issues but Lou has skilfully and patiently worked out a programme for me to help move me forward to achieve fitness goals that I could not have imagined when I commenced in January. It’s never too late to give it a try.

Fantastic experience: Lou had been absolutely fantastic as a PT. Everything he does with you is specific to your personalised circumstances. He has the ability to bring together what sometimes can seem very complex and make it straightforward to follow. I have been with Lou for 16 weeks so far and have made significant improvements.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Louis! I've just completed my second plan and am extremely pleased with the results. Louis checked in regularly, which helped me stay accountable. He made adjustments as needed, ensuring I didn't miss out on social occasions. The app made it easy to track my activity and progress, and it provided straightforward workouts for the gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Coaching with Lou! I have been coaching with Lou since January, and honestly, it has been fantastic. Lou's expertise, dedication, and personalised approach have really helped me grow. Right from the start, Lou took the time to get to know my goals and challenges. His ability to really listen and ask the right questions helped me gain clarity and come up with solid action plans. Lou's coaching style strikes the perfect balance between supportive encouragement and pushing me to reach my full potential. What makes Lou stand out is his genuine commitment to my success. He gave me valuable tools and techniques to tackle obstacles, boost my skills, and stay focused on my goals. You can tell he has a ton of knowledge and experience, which makes his advice super practical and effective. Lou's genuine care for his clients is what really sets him apart. He celebrates every win with you, no matter how small, and is there for you during tough times. His positive energy and enthusiasm are infectious, making every session motivating and inspiring. Thanks to Lou's coaching, I've hit some major milestones and gained a lot more confidence and direction. Whether you want to level up, improve your skills, or work on personal development, I highly recommend Coached by Lou. It's been a game-changer for me. Thanks, Louis, for being an awesome coach and helping me achieve my best!

Fantastic experience: Coached by Lou is a game changer! Having fairly and squarely arrived at middle age’dom, I was gifted a nutrition and training package with Lou. Once over the emotional trauma of a partner basically saying “YOU NEED EXERCISE” I contacted Lou to begin my journey. Having trained historically, it was immediately obvious that Lou is an expert! Lou took time to fully understand me before setting a super-clear yet realistically tailored plan. This clear and simple plan is manged via an app on your phone. Lou’s communication is excellent providing all necessary support, encouragement and ‘direct advice’ (where necessary). On more than one occasion, I benefited from Lou’s ability to provide focus in ‘getting back on track’. Lou manages all aspects brilliantly! Training Training at Lou’s gym is fantastic. It’s particularly well-equipped. Without doubt, the best bit of kit in there … is Lou! Sessions are really well planned and supported. Lou’s ability to achieve progress seems effortless and is done in a truly relaxed and humorous way. Goals With Lou’s support, I have achieved my goal of losing (1 stone) over the plan. This provided all the improvements I wanted regarding general health. Strength and conditioning are consistently through the roof too! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Coached by Lou! It’s a winning formula for me and could be for you too! I say this because Lou’s abilities suit ALL from mid-life makeovers to busy professionals and motivated Mums alike. One size fit’s all. Make the move … you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Lou as a very motivational PT who is dedicated in helping his clients achieve their personal goals.I really enjoy his sessions and tracking calories has helped me to make better food choices.

Fantastic experience: Lou is a great personal trainer , really motivates you to get the best out of every session , he is reliable and super consistent and helps you achieve your goals

Fantastic experience: Over the years I've seen many personal trainers, spent a fortune at gyms I've hardly visited, and yet still been unable to find my fitness mojo! Having discovered Lou last autumn I finally feel like I've hit the jackpot! The bespoke 1:1 strength training, tailored calorie counting and around the clock support have been spot on, and the results speak for them selves. I have been amazed how the combination of strenghth training and daily steps and diet have totally transformed my shape without a burpee in sight! It has been so refreshing to get these results without feeling as though I need to push myself through HIT workout after hit workout! From advice on what to eat in the local restaurants in Stockton Heath to high protein recipies to make at home he's got your diet covered. I had some weights at home which Lou designed a home work out around so I can do some extra sessions if I want to - and for my holiday I was sent a short programme to do at the hotel gym so I can off- set my gin & tonics! All of this info is easily accessible on Lou's app which puts calorie counting, weigh-ins, steps and workouts at your fingertips. Having that accountability has been crucial for me to finally knuckle down and really go for it - and I think it's a combination of all the above with Lou's great personality and enthusiasm that sets him apart from so many others.

Fantastic experience: Well what can I say about my time with lou he’s been first class from start to finish! Accountability, flexibility and honesty are what he provides along with his wealth of knowledge of nutrition and gym! He’s restored the gym confidence and also made being on a diet feel like a new norm with his recipes and flexibility to change meals around your taste and be able to stay in calories has been one the best parts! Checking in regularly and giving you a boost when needed! Can’t thank Lou enough, will be back with him when I’ve reached my next goal!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Louis after attending a group training session With another fitness club and sustained a shoulder injury which was due to focus on group training and not the individual. What a mistake! I wished I had seen Louis earlier as his approach is completely personalised to you and your specific goals. I wanted to lose weight and feel better for my son’s wedding. He is extremely motivating and gives you confidence to achieve your goal, I have found his app really helpful in enabling a focus on your calorie intake. He is always ready to give advice and often a motivating message when you may best need it. I lost weight (8 kilos) and built strength and importantly achieved the goal we had set jointly. I can’t recommend Louis highly enough, he is an expert in his field and I always look forward to our sessions. If you have a specific goal to achieve and you are willing to follow his approach, Louis is the man.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! As someone with a long term health condition I needed an experienced coach who was not only understanding but could help me achieve my best. I feel stronger, physically and just as importantly for me mentally. He is Knowledgable, understanding, helpful, friendly and supportive! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Since taking the plunge and starting my personal training journey with Lou I have not looked back! I am stronger (never thought I would be able to lift the weights I am currently lifting!), I have lost inches and over a stone lighter on the scales. Lou is so professional, educating me not only on fitness and technique, but nutrition and why protein in my diet is essential when doing strength training. His studio in Stockton Heath is sleek and well equipped! I have tried so many times to 'go it alone' and have failed every time. Lou holds me accountable and I am making smarter decisions when it comes to eating and drinking, especially when I am out on a weekend. I can now say I enjoy exercising, have more confidence and look forward to it, as he is a fab bloke :)

Fantastic experience: Lou is a fab coach. He'll create a plan that fits your goals and help you keep accountable. The workouts are fab and Lou encourages and motivates during the sessions and at check ins . There’s no silly fad diets involved, it’s sustainable and flexible to fit with your life and your goal! Defo recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having sat behind a desk throughout my working life I wanted to lose a few pounds and get fitter and stronger before I retired. Nine months later, and having never done any resistance training before, I am now a stone lighter thanks to Lou’s tailored fitness and nutrition plan. Lou’s attention to detail and and focus has enabled me to set more challenging personal goals . I have tried diets and gym programmes in the past but never stuck to them. Lou is a great motivator and and really cares about your progress. He has a friendly and supportive approach balancing personal accountability with patience and understanding. He gently pushes you forward so you continue to maximise your progress. Lou’s helpful nutrition advice has really got me thinking and changed my approach about what I eat and when. Although I have changed some of my daily diet I find I am still able to eat the food I like and eat out periodically. Lou’s focus is on sustainable lifestyle changes so you can maintain progress and avoid going backwards. Lou’s fully equipped studio is like having your own up-market gym enabling you to concentrate on your own workout one on one without worrying about keeping up with anyone else. Over the last nine months I have lost weight and got stronger and fitter. I really look forward to my work out sessions and want to continue the improvements it is making to my health and wellbeing. Lou is a fantastic coach. If you want to make a change I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: As a 27 year old who has been training for over 10 years, I thought I knew everything needed to grow muscle. Lou's strategic approach fitness gave a clear structure of both exercise and diet plans and demonstrated to me the clever way to get stronger and fitter. Couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Well where do I start… having started with Louis just 12 weeks ago I have never felt as strong, fit and toned as I do now. I came to Lou as someone who has always enjoyed exercising but never had much confidence at the gym (other than to attend group classes) and certainly have never weight trained before. From the outset Louis gave great advice and offered a tailored fitness and nutritional plan to meet my personal goals. Through his personal app I have access to my own weekly fitness plan and a food bank full of recipes which are so simple and easy to cook, essential for a busy mum of two!! Lou is always in regular contact throughout the week giving advice and is on hand to answer any queries. His support allows you to focus on training and achieving the best results. I have always been apprehensive to start one to one coaching but I wish I had started with Lou sooner. His private fully equipped home studio offers a comfortable space to train and he always ensures your technique is correct and knows when to push you so that you are gradually progressing week on week. His sessions are friendly and enjoyable and allow you to gain confidence to carry on with your plan during the rest of the week. Louis is a very supportive coach but also realistic and understanding about the challenges that busy lives can create. I would 100% recommend Coached by Lou to anyone. I could not be happier with the results to date!! Thanks Coached by Lou!!

Fantastic experience: Lou has a great professional studio with all the gear. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. I would highly recommend him for anyone wanting to increase their fitness.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad that I took the plunge and sent a message to Lou in January asking about his body transformation program. Almost 8 months later and I’m really pleased with what he’s helped me to achieve. The regular contact has kept me continually motivated, and the one on one sessions have been a great way to build my confidence in the gym. He was also very receptive to helping me achieve my goals despite me being a vegan. Lou’s meal plans and ideas have been excellent and they’re now staples in my daily routine. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to make a change, particularly if you’ve tried to go it alone but haven’t had the motivation or knowledge to stick with a regular routine.

Fantastic experience: I am amazed and so happy with my results after just 12 weeks of Lou’s coaching! Being a new mum, I needed to get back on track with my fitness journey and I have done that and more. I now have the confidence to lift weights in the gym and I feel stronger than ever thanks to Lou’s support and encouragement. Through Lou’s guidance I have learnt so much about nutrition and sustaining a healthier lifestyle whilst still eating what I enjoy.

Fantastic experience: I'm coming up to my 5th month of training with Louis and a recommendation couldn't come highly enough. The results I have achieved in such a short space of time are beyond what I ever imagined and certainly would never have been possible without Louis's constant guidance and support. His private studio is a brilliant professional space and the custom planned recipes allowed me to loose over 2 stone in the first 12 weeks whilst still enjoying food I like including meals out. If you want someone whose got your back and cares about your transformation then look no further than Coached by Lou

Fantastic experience: After a 5 year love-hate relationship with the gym and my body, I've managed to get into the best shape of my life after just 12 weeks of working with Lou. And I've genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. No nonsense, or fad-dieting - just simple, straightforward advice, whilst monitoring calories and workouts in his app. And cheaper than a lot of PTs I know of. It's not an "insanity" workout, and I haven't starved myself - it's been about making sustainable lifestyle changes, understanding when and how to eat the foods I enjoy, and when to rein it in. Lou knows his stuff, and has been on hand to answer any questions I've had, and helped me to work around some long term niggles and injuries. Can't thank you enough Lou - here's to the next 12 weeks!

Fantastic experience: I approached Louis after deciding I needed help and a change of lifestyle. I wasn’t happy with my weight or how I looked in the mirror, I had been lifting weights for a number of years now and never really seen any difference it was more of a tick box exercise. After an initial discussion with Louis I explained all of this and what I am looking to do. He asked lots of questions about my current exercise regime, diet, work life, cooking ability. All of this to understand exactly how he can help. The next steps were a bespoke exercise and nutrition plan (that is updated every couple of weeks). Louis attention to detail and constantly keeping you accountability is a recipe for success. Looking for help to be in the best shape of your life, the Louis is the man who Will help you achieve those goals!

Fantastic experience: At 64 I am Louis’s oldest client. Louis has shown great flexibility in helping to finalise a suitable diet plan and exercise programme to fit in with my semi- retired daily schedule. Through Louis’s breadth of knowledge and understanding of what I would like to achieve I have lost weight, gained strength and agreed feel far more energetic than I did three months ago. After an initial trial session together Louis has shown great patience and empathy in helping me successfully work towards reaching my goals. I would say to anyone in a similar situation to myself that you are never too old to make those small changes in your daily routines to achieve lots of big wins - thanks Louis for all your support!

Fantastic experience: Since the arrival of my 2 children, my focus on diet and exercise had been non-existent. I was gaining weight fast and was really struggling to motivate myself. Lou changed all of that within a matter of weeks and now I’m leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been! I’ve tried programmes in the past, but Lou’s are enjoyable and most importantly, sustainable. If you throw yourself in, it will change your life.

Fantastic experience: After having 2 children in 2 years my body didn’t quite feel like mine and I’d say for a good few years before that as well. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Joe Wicks, Slimming World, Keto and even diet pills. But the level of support Louis provides is everything. He’s coached me through meals out, birthdays, hen dos, holidays, weddings, sickness. And he’s shown me with a little anticipation you can easily tweak your week so that your progress isn’t sabotaged, and you can still have fun. My body feels and moves the way it did in my early 20s. I can’t thank Louis enough, this program hasn’t just enabled me to lose weight, I have gained; positive lifestyle habits, confidence and happiness.

Fantastic experience: Louis is a great coach who is easy to work with and talk to, very relatable and understands your specific goals. I have learnt a lot about diet and nutrition which has made a massive difference to how I eat daily, but still allowing me all my favourite food. The training is enjoyable and he is a great motivator. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to get their spark back for training & fitness.

Fantastic experience: To say I am amazed by the progress would be an understatement! 34 lbs lost and in a completely different mindset. When I first contacted Lou, I was in a pretty bad place both mentally and physically. My overall health had been in a steady decline for a couple of years since the covid lockdowns, and I had gotten to a point where I needed some guidance to help me out of the rut. Lou has given me that and so much more. The recipes are tailored to my caloric requirements to hit my goals, easy to prepare and delicious, and he holds me accountable through a daily log and reviews. The workout plan is enjoyable and tracking the performance ensures that progress is made each week. For me, Lou is the only man for the job to keep me pushing forwards and to maximise my results. I would highly recommend Lou to anybody looking to make a change both physically and mentally!
