LG Coaching - (Near Oxfordshire, UK)

5 /5 T Morris: Before my recent session with Louis, I was completely new to the gym and had never used any of the machines before. I was always intimidated by the equipment, however have a whole new outlook after completing the session. Louis created an environment where I felt comfortable to ask any questions and he explained everything with great patience and depth. With each exercise we did, he explained the muscle groups being worked and why the movement was effective and suitable for me. Previously, I had no idea how to work any machines or equipment, but now feel confident setting up and effectively using multiple machines. I would highly recommend Louis to anyone starting out in the gym or those who want a trainer who is knowledgable and motivating. His ability to make sessions fun as well as effective and informative has been incredibly valuable - thank you Louis!!

5 /5 Mia Gemayel: I’ve been lifting in the gym for many years and have worked with trainers before, but training with Louis has been genuinely exceptional. Even in our first session, he helped me build a level of confidence that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. His coaching is motivating, thoughtful, and incredibly effective, challenging me well beyond my perceived limits, not only physically but mentally too. Louis helped me reframe my mindset, and that has genuinely stayed with me outside the gym. As a PhD student, training is an important outlet for me, a space where I can focus on myself, reset, and work towards personal goals, and training with Louis has reinforced how valuable the gym is for both my physical and mental wellbeing. I leave feeling exhausted, but also confident, motivated, and better equipped to keep progressing in all areas of my life. What really stands out about Louis is how invested he is in long-term development, not just the training itself. He takes the time to answer all my questions and provides practical guidance to help me continue improving my workouts. The sponsored scheme he runs highlights his commitment to making high-quality coaching and wellbeing accessible, especially for students.

5 /5 Laura Bartkova: I have always felt intimidated by the gym. As a newcomer with no prior experience, it can be overwhelming - you don’t really know which exercises to do or how to properly use the machines for weight training in order to see real progress over time. Starting at Oxford and joining the volleyball team motivated me to return to the gym, both to improve my physical fitness and boost my volleyball performance. At the same time, being a full-time student, I’ve also found that the gym helps relieve pressure and supports my mental health. However, since I only knew a handful of exercises and was just getting familiar with the squat rack, I was very keen to seek out professional help to achieve my goals. When I got in touch with Louis, we had a chance to get to know each other and talk before our first session about my goals and what I wanted to learn and improve. He was very understanding, and I felt he immediately grasped what I hoped to achieve. During our first session, we focused on exercises to help me increase my vertical jump and build my core strength. Louis introduced me to a wide variety of exercises, emphasising the importance of proper technique, whether with free weights or machines. He was extremely supportive, which motivated me to push myself harder, and he was also very kind in answering every single question I had no matter how simple I thought they were. He went through everything with me thoroughly, and although I felt extremely sore afterwards, I was proud of myself for the resilience I showed thanks to his guidance and patience. I left the session not only feeling accomplished for completing such challenging exercises, which tested both my physical and mental strength, but also much more confident in the gym, something that is so important when starting out. I definitely want to continue working with Louis. He is an expert at what he does, and I believe he can help me grow both as an athlete and achieve physical improvements I’ve never managed on my own. I would highly recommend Louis’s personal training to everyone, including other students. While I understand that financial barriers can be significant, I strongly believe that the sponsored training sessions would greatly benefit anyone, improving both their physical and mental wellbeing, and helping them become stronger individuals. I very much look forward to continuing my training with Louis in the months ahead!

5 /5 Nikolas Karefyllidis: I started training with Louis while juggling a pretty demanding schedule — full-time work, marathon training, and trying to maintain some sort of balance in between. From the first session, it was clear how much attention to detail and care for his clients Louis puts into his coaching. Every exercise is purposeful, and he’s meticulous about form, technique, and progression, making sure you’re not just moving weight but actually improving. What really stands out is his guidance and structure. Louis helped me set clear goals, build confidence, and design a plan that works around my training and work commitments. He’s been incredibly supportive in helping me manage time and scheduling, keeping me consistent even on the busiest weeks. Louis doesn’t just train you — he teaches you how to train smarter. His sessions are motivating, efficient, and always adapted to how I’m feeling that day. Thanks to his support, I’ve been able to hit key performance milestones in both strength and endurance, while staying healthy and balanced throughout marathon prep. I can’t recommend Louis enough to anyone looking to make real, sustainable progress. His professionalism, energy, and attention to his clients set him apart.

5 /5 Jemima Freeman: I approached Louis because I wanted to make better use of the gym and improve my strength training, but, as someone whose experience consisted mostly of online home workouts, I had no idea where to start in the gym. Louis was really welcoming and encouraging, talking to me about my specific goals and tailoring my session towards these. In our session, we went through a number of exercises to help me with my goal of progressing towards a chin-up, and his motivation really gave me a boost - I think it was the hardest I have worked my body in a LONG time, but it was great. I appreciated his explanations of why he recommended certain exercises. I felt a lot more informed about how my body works and the best ways to work out in future to achieve my goals. As well as being knowledgeable and competent as a trainer, I can particularly commend Louis attentiveness and friendliness. He paid close attention to how I was doing throughout the session and he was happy to answer any questions. It was also so clear how passionate he is about what he does. He has a genuine desire to help students by making exercise more accessible, and I think his enthusiasm is what makes his sessions so rewarding. Whilst I have not been hitting the gym quite as much as Id like to since our session (life gets busy!), I probably wouldnt have gone at all if it werent for the confidence and preparation which Louis gave me, so I can strongly recommend him for anyone who might be nervous about going to the gym or just wants to improve!
