He utilises his diverse knowledge to train and educate his clients on all five, as well as how they are all interconnected.

In addition to his personal training work, Luke has a number of altruistic ambitions both to elevate and enhance standards within the health and fitness industry, and to improve the quality and accessibility of health and fitness information to all.
Luke hopes to achieve this through his series of professional educational courses and seminars in the UK, USA and around Europe, a grassroots education program through the YMCA, and through providing accurate, useable and accessible information through media channels.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I thoroughly enjoy working with Luke, and have seen results in both mind and body straight away. I know my body better and targeting specific areas because of this has been a complete revelation. It's a surprise what I'm now able to do, I just feel great."
ELLIE BAMBER, Actor
"When I met Luke I was in a place where I was extremely frustrated with the aches and pains my body was starting to develop. Within only a couple of sessions Luke was able to pinpoint what it was that needed correcting and I started feeling better after every session. I started feeling the best I had in a long time, it was simply a bonus that I was looking my best too."
SABRINA ELBA, Model
"Luke was able to pinpoint where on my body needed correcting to be able to optimise my movement, strength and comfort. I started feeling and noticing a difference right away. After only a few sessions with Luke I felt stronger and more capable in my body, even after a long hiatus from working out."
ROONEY MARA, Actor, Activist
“Luke worked with me on a fitness and nutrition plan, but also on managing some long standing back pain. 12 weeks later I had hit all of my fitness goals, but also dealt with the back pain too. I've worked with trainers all over the world, he’s the best there is.”
ROBBIE FOWLER, Professional Footballer, Liverpool and England
"I have been working closely with Luke for the past year using his system of PRI exercises and strength training. This has allowed me to have my hip back pain free. I call him my saviour. I had an injury to my hip due to intense dance training for a West End show which eventually led to major surgery. Luke has changed my day to day life and has made my rehabilitation a speedy and positive recovery, to the stages of The Bodyguard, 42nd Street and BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Being an athlete you are on a constant cycle, you don't stop and my body wasn't keeping up with me, and now it does. This system works and I can't thank Luke enough for keeping my body in top form, allowing me to dance and train in the correct posture leaving my hip pain free and feeling good."
ANNIE KITCHEN, West End Star
"Luke’s taught me many things about the brain and body but what stands out is that resting doesn’t mean stopping. In less than six months he’s helped me move from a highly stressed, highly strung state to a place where I no longer feel anxious about getting in enough workouts. I’m doing less but seeing more results, and sleeping through the night. I’ve finally wised up to the fact that you can’t out train a frantic lifestyle but you can use your time in the gym to bring life back into balance."
AMY HOPKINSON, Digital Editor Women's Health
"I was on the same Team as Luke when winning the English Schools title twice in Track & Field. We reunited several years later when I was looking for someone who could put together a detailed training programme to get me in the best shape of my life for the Winter Olympics.
4 months into the programme I had broken my personal records in my vertical jump (54 inches) my flying 30m 3.75 seconds, my standing long 3m25 not to mention 6 different core lifts in the gym. What I like about Luke is that his programme is tailored to me."
LIAM COLLINS, World Indoor Champion 60m Hurdles, National Champion 110m Hurdles.
“Being based in Los Angeles, but often fighting in Europe, I needed a man on the ground in the UK to help with achieving peak performance at the time when it’s needed. Splitting training and competition between continents and time zones can undo months of preparation.
Luke has a strong relationship with my coaches in the USA and is always able to understand where I am at with my conditioning prep before I even arrive. When it comes to fine tuning my athletic training and being confident that I am on point – this is my go-to guy. I would highly recommend anyone looking for that extra edge in performance to check out what he’s got going on.”
MARCUS KOWAL, Professional MMA Fighter
“I had thought my professional football career was over before I met Luke. I was unable to complete 90 minutes of a game without feeling excessive tension in my calves and hamstrings. Having seen physio after physio and no one being able to resolve it I was running out of options until I was recommended to go and see Luke. After conducting a biomechanical analysis we discovered that my problems were actually coming from an imbalance in my hips and pelvis, and after getting going with some corrective exercises the problems disappeared almost immediately. I feel lucky to have been introduced to Luke, and to have a second chance at my career."
PAT COLLINS, Professional Footballer, Sunderland and England
“Luke Worthington is a cutting edge trainer who respects three dimensions of movement and multiple human systems when analysing fitness performance. His respect for the nervous system, the respiratory system and full body biomechanics make him one of the best in all of Europe. It is truly a pleasure to collaborate with a forward thinking professional of Luke's caliber."
JAMES ANDERSON, MPT, PRC Faculty and Affiliate Course Director for the Postural Restoration Institute Lincoln, Nebraska USA
