Fantastic experience: I am an older woman (over 60), and I wanted to add strength training to my fitness routine. All the equipment in a gym can be a bit intimidating. Free weights and all the possibilities of use can be a daunting task for the uninformed. Hence, I decided to find a personal trainer for the guidance, experience, and expertise a trainer can provide.

Fantastic experience: I am extremely delighted to have Luke as a trainer. In fact, If you asked me a year ago whether I'd ever do online training, my answer would be a hard no. However, when I started following Luke on Instagram, I found his content to be informative and helpful on all levels including but not limited to mobility, exercises, and diet. I personally was struggling with gaining weight. For this reason, I reached out to Luke who diligently set a program to attain my goals. Undeniably, the journey has been pleasant: I have had timely responses to my many questions, regular feedback on my progress, and unwavering motivation. Luke has been flexible as he changed some exercises to meet my needs without affecting the end goal. In addition to his knowledge, Luke is a great person to deal with, he is very professional.

In just a little over 2 months Luke has helped me loose over 13 pounds with his professional advice and support and I am looking forward to many more months ahead! I’ve never liked working out or felt really comfortable in a gym but having pre-scheduled sessions to meet Luke at the gym holds me accountable and I feel a lot more confident now. Luke makes it enjoyable by encouraging me and coaching me to improve and I actually look forward to working out now. I’d recommend getting personal training services from Luke or any trainers under his supervision. It’s not cheap but there is no better investment than my long term health and well-being.

Fantastic experience: First and foremost, Luke was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of fitness. He took the time to understand my goals, my fitness level, and my health history before designing a custom workout plan tailored to my specific needs. He was able to explain the science behind each exercise and how it would benefit me, which helped me understand why I was doing each movement and how it was contributing to my progress. Additionally, Luke was extremely attentive during our workouts.

He also kept me motivated throughout the workout, pushing me to give my best effort while still being mindful of my limits. All while making it fun!

Fantastic experience: I hired Luke seven weeks ago to help me with fat loss, strength, and conditioning. His online approach is an excellent and affordable alternative to in-person coaching, and it allows me to get the most benefit possible from the equipment I already have at home. With nothing more than a bench, stationary bike and two adjustable dumbbells I've lost almost 20 pounds, have more energy and feel better overall. Luke designed three customized workout programs for me, and monitors my calorie and macro intake daily, as well as weekly video meetings. He's been very flexible working with my physical limitations, is excellent at motivation and positive reinforcement, and seems to have a personal interest in my success. I highly recommend this system and this trainer.

Fantastic experience: Luke is great! I have been seeing him since June 2022. I tore my ACL in Jan. 2022 and my goal was to start a prehab program to strengthen my knee. He made me a customized workout and adjusted the workout every few weeks (not the same boring routine). The workouts made me feel stronger, built my self confidence and helped me with letting go my mental barriers on what I couldn’t do with my injured knee. He’s positive and motivational. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Luke with Shift to Strength is astonishingly professional with a super approachable personality. He is constantly doing fact-based research, writing articles and staying up to date with the most modern science. If you are thinking of going to the gym but not sure where to start.

He has turned gym going into one of the most positive experiences each day, I would give more stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: I started online training with Luke in September and my experience have been great. He went above and beyond to help me reached my fitness goal. I was able to do my first chin up with the training program he created for me and I've gotten 10* stronger. If you're looking to reach your fitness goal, I highly recommend Shift to Strength.

Fantastic experience: Luke has been great to work with to meet my fitness goals. He is patient and respectful, but still pushes you out of your comfort zone. If you're on the fence about getting into personal training, do yourself a favour and try it out here!

Fantastic experience: Luke had the best timing. I had been thinking about getting a PT for a bit, but wasn't sure how to go about choosing one as there are a number that work out of both gym locations I go to. Luke happened to reach out to me on IG, introducing himself, so happy he did. I have been working with him for about a month now, meeting with him in person 2 times a week plus completing workouts he schedules on the app for the other days. Don't let his cuteness fool you, he is mean...just kidding, he is the sweetest guy but sure does push you. The workouts consist of the basic but extremely effective exercises. I have progressed so much in a month, lifting heavier each session (he likes to sneak extra weight), more energy, eating better, and of course reshaping my body which is the added bonus. Love how I am gaining strength, he pushes me even after my exhausting night shifts and I love the accountability, he checks in almost daily. Just a great guy, extremely knowledgeable, if you are considering a personal trainer I highly recommend Luke.

Fantastic experience: Luke did an amazing job curating a program for me, taking into account preferences and lifestyle. He puts a lot of work into what he does and has a lot of knowledge to share

Keep up the commitment to excellence in fitness training! I will continue to recommend you to others!! High five and 20 stars for your dedication to fitness and health!!!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Luke in May, and I am amazed at the progress I have made! I'm hitting goals I never thought I would ever get back to! I was only able to make it into the gym with Luke 2x/week but he knew exactly when to encourage me and push me harder. Not only was he FANTASTIC during the in person training but he also set me up with at home and on the road workouts as well. Luke is extremely knowledgeable in his field and made sure I wasn't just working hard but used the correct technique. He made himself available for any questions I had and was there to cheer me on when I reached my goals. Luke is professional, positive, friendly and understanding. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I came to Luke with a two-month time frame, a few goals, and almost no background experience in strength training. He took the time to understand all of my objectives, which included improving my confidence and posture, losing weight, toning muscle, and developing healthier eating habits. Factoring in my commitment level, motivation, and personal challenges, Luke built a comprehensive exercise and nutrition program and walked me through every step of integrating it into my daily life. Throughout our two months together, he provided flexible scheduling and made himself available for questions and feedback throughout the day. Best of all, he celebrated each of my successes along the way and helped me feel really good about myself! At the end of our two-month plan, I felt like I was fully enjoying the benefits of having reached my goals. I am now transitioning to his online training program—which has been equally as excellent as the committed, professional, and motivating experience he provides in person. What I appreciate most about Luke is how well he balances his professionalism with kindness and personality. He is so easy to connect with and feel comfortable around, which matters a lot to me as someone who has felt intimidated by past experiences with coaches/trainers and gyms. I’d easily recommend working with him to any of my friends!

Fantastic experience: Truly an amazing experience with Luke as a personal trainer and mentor. He really goes above and beyond to ensure I can work on my goals at my own pace.

Fantastic experience: One thing I can appreciate about Luke as a trainer is his ability to educate as well as inform during training sessions. I’m able to take away the shared information during our sessions; understand it, and apply it on my own.

Fantastic experience: Luke is incredibly knowledgeable and really helped me gain confidence in myself and my abilities at the gym- even within the first two sessions. As a plus size woman I have had experiences with trainers that weren’t so positive in the past, but Luke made me feel capable and helped push me and encourage me. Having someone that you feel comfortable with to show you the ropes and coach you is huge and he definitely succeeded. On top of all that I learned so much about proper technique and form from him in a short time. Sessions are well worth the cost (which is really reasonable!)

Fantastic experience: Luke is a really great trainer! A friend and I came to him looking for a general introduction to weightlifting. Our sessions together were informative and tailored to our specific interests/goals. I definitely feel much more comfortable with my abilities in the gym, and I'm excited to incorporate more strength training into my workouts. I definitely recommend Shift to Strength to anyone looking for a flexible and knowledgeable trainer and someone willing to go above and beyond to help you with your goals!

Fantastic experience: Luke has been excellent to work with over the 6 weeks I’ve been training with him. He’s punctual, knowledgeable, and has provided all the push and motivation I’ve needed to get into a regular workout routine. He’s easy to contact and is flexible on scheduling. Regular check ins throughout the week keep me in check, and I’m already starting to see some results. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an injury with my a torn rotator cuff that I was struggling with for monthst. I went to Luke for help and he recommended mobility and recovery exercises that helped get back to normal. He instruced me to go see a physiotherapist as well which helped with the diagnoses. His mentorship helped made a huge difference with my fitness routine. He always checks up on me and he genuinely cares about his work and clients. He is a very dedicated passionate person and easy to work with.

Fantastic experience: I’m in my 50’s and was nervous about re-entering a gym after so many years. Luke has made it very comfortable for me and is helping me work on areas specific to my body’s needs. I like that his work outs are not generic, they are specific and tailored to each of his clients’ needs. Luke is very professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and a gentleman! I look forward to my work outs and my improved mobility and strength. I highly recommend Luke and Shift to Strength!!

Fantastic experience: Big Shoutout to Luke for my progress. There was a time where gym for me was a time pass, I start and I come back maybe a week or month. No consistency no form, no proper diet and knowledge regarding nutrition. Thank fully that changed after I took his program, I got a rough understanding for my weak spots when I do certain exercises and he explains why it's happening with certified studies. Biggest key reasons for me was consistency, sleep and mainly Diet. He gave me a rough idea on certain fat and calorie I should control, and I recently started relying on my own by cooking meat. Long was to go in terms of cooking, but it's a start. Overall my routine has been improved a lot. He is a good communicator, supportive and always did a follow up on me often with the running and diet. Before I can barely lift properly. As of now I can lift way more than I usually do, comfortably and consistently. I will highly recommend this program.

Fantastic experience: Working with Luke at Shift to Strength has been a fantastic experience. He went above and beyond for me as a client and has a ton of knowledge on fitness. From the time we set goals at my first session he worked hard to provide a plan and made sure I stayed on track. After training with Luke for 6 months I’ve seen huge improvements in my strength, endurance, mobility, and major decrease decrease in my sport related pain. Whether it be coming up with new movements, checking your form, or providing motivation Luke is your guy!

Fantastic experience: Luke was great, explored what my goals were and even tailored personalized workouts to accomplish these goals. I was training for a powerlifting event and consulted with Luke regarding my training routine and he was great. Ran me through some high intensity workouts and it was awesome having such a supportive and knowledgeable trainer. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Luke made everything fun when I began training with him! I suffer with bad lower back injuries for a long time and always made sure I was being safe when lifting! He became more of a good buddy at the same time and was super encouraging!

Fantastic experience: Had a training session with Luke! Went over and above my expectations! Was a blast and the wisdom and knowledge he provided was phenomenal in regards to my training! Will definitely go back!

Fantastic experience: I came to Luke with a goal of getting back into fitness and the gym. Not only did he help me get back into a consistent routine, I am feeling healthier and stronger than I have felt in years. He is so personable and has truly gone above and beyond to help me reach my fitness goals. Thanks Luke! Highly recommend choosing shift to strength to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Luke is a great personal trainer. He always backs up what he says with studies. He is a great communicator. He has helped me make lifestyle changes that will last. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better coach.

Fantastic experience: Luke has been an amazing coach from day one, always on top of everything and has helped me finally enjoy working out

Fantastic experience: An amazing trainer that always checks in, keeps you motivated and pushes you to your best potential! I continue to return as nobody has taken the time to create a great program tailored to my needs till now! I’ve gone up weekly on weights and am on such an easy to follow diet plan for my busy schedule all with Luke’s help!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Luke and Shift to Strength for the past two months and I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience. From being so approachable to consistently taking time to check-in, I’m always comfortable with the wide variety of exercises we do, and even get to know the research behind why we do what we do. I’ve worked with other trainers in the past and I have to say I’m blown away by the results I’ve had so far!
