Actuate Personal Training

I hired Actuate Personal Training to help get me and my wife us in shape for our wedding. Luke devised a weight-lifting gym plan to compliment our other exercises (Taekwon-Do and Clubbercise) and advised us how to change our diet. We both enjoyed each and every session and more than achieved our goals. In particular I found weight-lifting very helpful with shoulder ache (I sit at a desk all day). I would recommend Actuate Personal Training to anyone no matter your goal.

Having tried many a times to find a workout regime that I'll actually enjoy and stick to, I finally turned to Luke last year and honestly, it's the best thing I could have done! Luke is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and patient. He has tailored workouts to suit me and whilst it's always hard work, it is thoroughly enjoyable. I initially signed up for one session, with the idea of refreshing every 6-8 weeks, but have ended up with a fortnightly session since. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Actuate are really the only personal trainers that I've stuck with and seen real results. Detailed work out plans are provided which give me lots of variety, but also focus on some core exercises, which enables me to see progress over time. When I started I wasn't even able to do one full chin-up, now I'm knocking out 20 and it feels good! The plans also give me the confidence to go to the gym on my own and not worry about not knowing what I'm doing, or that I don't belong in the free weights section - so I don't immediately head for the cross trainer. I couldn't recommend them more.

I've tried loads of ways to get fit. Actuate is fantastic. Luke actually listens, is extremely knowledgeable in so many different methods and tailored a programme to suit me and my quit strange life style. Training with Luke also huge fun and the best value will find. I can't wait for my next session. MH.

I have been training with Luke for the past few months and the results are clear. I needed a personal trainer as I was looking to lose a little weight and improve my fitness. I had also just had minor operations on my knees and needed to improve my strength. I struggle to keep motivated, but with Luke’s help, I have improved my fitness, lost a lot of body fat and gained muscle. Luke is very knowledgeable, professional and is good at encouraging me to push myself. I hope to continue to see the benefits and I would highly recommend Luke as a personal trainer!

I worked with Luke for 15 weeks b4 an event and the result speaks volumes. I completed my event 10 mins faster than last year.

Training with Luke is fun and effective. Weight Loss, getting fitter, recovering from injury, simply looking better or some other sporting goal -- discuss your ambitions with him and Luke will devise a training plan to help you achieve them. Whatever your age or current level of ability – with his sensible, conscientious and deceptively relaxed manner, the results of regular training with Luke will exceed all your expectations. I unreservedly recommend Luke Thompson as a personal trainer. Guy Lambert.

Luke is fantastic at tailoring a programme for your personal needs and takes the time to get it right for you. He encourages you to make real progress making challenging but realistic goals with you, making sure you are working within your stretch zone. Luke's support has helped me get back on track with my fitness goals and sticking with it!

Training with Luke is fun and works! He devised clear, short and long term goals with me and I have already achieved this year's initial short term goals, to improving my diet and win a gold medal for Taekwon-do. Luke is supportive, encouraging and professional throughout each training session. He also is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, so I am always learning more.

Luke is a very professional and motivating personal trainer. I don't feel bullied when I train but encouraged and have seen great results in my strength and fitness. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs variety in their workouts that is also specifically geared towards their own needs.
