“You can change your life, be happy, and help others do the same.”
A Journey Rooted in Resilience and Passion
Before joining YOUR PT, Luiza’s background was diverse, having worked in hospitality and catering and even a brief stint as a security officer. Her journey as a personal trainer truly began when she started training with a PT herself. “I saw the benefits of working with a coach,” Luiza shares, which inspired her to pursue a career in fitness. She initially began by training neighbours and clients in Central London, focusing on the mental health side of activity and promoting a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
After the birth of her second child, Luiza returned to fitness with a renewed mindset, embracing the ups and downs of life. “Sometimes you have to accept life and let it go, but don’t give up,” she says—a lesson she now guides her clients through as they navigate their own fitness journeys. For Luiza, fitness is not just about physical well-being; it’s a holistic approach that incorporates mind-body connection, stress relief, and enjoying the present moment.
Growth and Dedication to Clients
Since joining YOUR Personal Training in mid-January, Luiza has built an impressive roster of over 20 active clients, each one benefitting from her personalised approach and long-term training packages. She credits her success to being consistently present and offering free consultations in her early days to gain exposure.
“I trained friends for free at first,” Luiza explains, “and relied on word of mouth marketing and referrals.” This grassroots approach paid off, helping her grow her business steadily, and her genuine commitment to her clients is evident in the positive feedback and reviews she actively seeks from them.
Overcoming Obstacles: Balancing Life as a PT and a Mum
Being a mum of two children, one aged 13 and a little one just 16 months old, Luiza has faced her share of challenges. “The biggest obstacle has been lack of sleep,” she admits. With some early health challenges for her baby, she’s had to balance family, business, and her own well-being.
Luiza credits her mentor, Ellie, for the support in overcoming these challenges, noting how much they bonded over similar experiences. Despite the hurdles, Luiza’s determination shines through as she continues to push forward both as a mum and a fitness professional.
Aspirations for the Future
Looking ahead, Luiza is determined to continue growing in the industry. She has already begun courses in training seniors, youth, and GP referrals, and is working towards Level 4 Nutrition certification. With aspirations to influence teenagers and potentially take on managerial roles within YOUR PT, Luiza is fully committed to furthering her knowledge and expanding her reach.
Her passion is clear: “There’s nothing more rewarding than giving people hope and a pathway forward to a better way of life and health.”
Why Join the Fitness Industry?
When asked why someone should join the fitness industry, Luiza’s answer is simple yet profound: “You can change your life, be happy, and help others do the same.” For her, being a personal trainer is about helping others become the best version of themselves. It’s about offering hope and guiding clients towards a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
