Meet Your Personal Trainers Online
So, we are Luke and Kate Walker and are personal trainers online as well as one to one trainers in our studio. In addition, we both have a passion for fitness and helping others achieve personal goals. And we understand the various obstacles that can make getting fitter, a little harder! Because you most likely have a busy work, family and maybe even social life too. Similarly, we have a daughter called Sophie, a son called Leo, a large extended family and a busy work life! Now, you may be surprised to learn that we are foodies…probably like yourself. But I mean, if you weren’t a foodie before kids then you probably became one afterwards (scraps galore). Either way, we’ll teach you to understand lifestyle nutrition. So, that you can too enjoy your food, achieve your goals and have energy for the family.

As Experienced Personal Trainers Online We Understand
Indeed, we can relate to the difficulty of being effective at work. And the energy required afterwards to entertain the family and keep the house tidy, whilst trying to keep healthy! Secondly, this is where our balanced lifestyle approach to training, food and accountability comes in. As well as our experience! Thirdly, this blog on 9 ways to make time for exercise with a busy schedule might fire up your motivation. Because, we feel it’s important that you hear it elsewhere too! Anyway, here’s a little about us and our journeys to date…

Our Home Gym Transformation
Similarly to our body and mind transformations we have also worked on our garage since day one. And momentum (as we know with exercise) is super important. Because it’s what has got us to where we are now! In addition, we have trained in our living rooms, the park here and there and of course, the garage. Furthermore, this drives our main point home that we tell clients all the time. And that’s that you can achieve your goals from anywhere.

Insight into Your Personal Trainers Online Journeys!
A Snapshot of Kate & her Journey
First and foremost I am a mum to two wonderful young children Sophie and Leo. And I live for creating memories with my family. So, I understand how important it is to tailor fitness journeys that fit into busy lifestyles. My passion for health and fitness started when I was at school and led me to becoming a Head of PE at a large secondary school in Manchester. I started teaching in 2012 and met my husband (Luke) in 2014. And since then I became an online Personal Trainer with Body Reach! Anyway, I understand what it’s like to not have much time to achieve personal fitness goals. Because juggling two jobs, a family and regular exercise is challenging which is why I love supporting others to do the same. I played netball regularly until I had my first child in 2018. And have a passion for weight training which is what helped my recovery post births and transformed my physique. Moreover, I believe it is such an empowering method of training for women. And I am passionate about helping as many realize it’s potential.
A Snapshot of Luke & his Journey
Since I can remember exercise has been a part of my life. But that’s predominantly due to playing football from a younger age, whether on the street or the pitch! In addition, circuit training and weight training played bit parts throughout the years. However, weight training only became a consistent part of my life around the age of 26 which was inevitable. Because I always loved the confident, challenging and empowering feeling it gave me. So, I have played football semi professionally and have competed in natural bodybuilding getting to the NPA British Finals in my first year. Although, I haven’t competed since due to our ever growing Body Reach team. As well as our Walker family tree. With that being said, it’ll just be Body Reach growing from here, now we’ve a girl and boy!! Lastly, I am not naturally the fittest but have ran a 20 minute 5k. And achieved an FFMI close to 25 with good, not great genetics. As a result, my journey has is proof that hard, consistent work pays off!
Are you ready for your Transformation?
Lastly, every journey begins with the first step and you have to start somewhere. So, see you on the other side!
Harry TriceMarch 18, 2023.Brilliant start to my training with Luke & Body Reach. Really impressed with the depth of knowledge and the setup. Guidance and support is first class and every session enjoyable.
Dawn WilkinsonDecember 20, 2022.I am so lucky to have found Luke & Bodyreach, from the very 1st session he made us feel relaxed and motivated! After 3-4 years of being totally inactive, putting on 3 stone, suffering with perimenopause and a bad back, I am now training 3 times a week & can honestly say I feel so much better! Who'd have thought at 50 I would be back on the fitness wheel! I've always done cardio classes over the years & never ever weight trained but with Luke's guidance & expert training, I am getting better & stronger with every session. Love the banter with every session & the music always make for a fun session in the evening.
Chris MaddenNovember 9, 2022.Only ten days into the journey so far so will update this a little further along… Initial impressions are impressive though - Luke has taken the time to get to know me and my challenges and I look forward to working with him to achieve my goals! UPDATE (Nov 2022) - I've now been working with Luke for four months or so. I'm down in weight, up in muscle and strength, we've had a couple of setbacks with nagging old injuries but Luke has been there every step of the way to help and support me, tailoring workouts to try and address and resolve these old issues (rather than just ignoring them). I'm in the best shape of my life (as he likes to remind me!) and look forward to continuing on our journey together!
Laura ChippendaleOctober 20, 2022.Luke is very patient and supportive, I feel he really understands that there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
superfazdaAugust 26, 2022.Friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable! I've been working with Luke for the past 9 months and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've dropped body fat, increased strength and become more confident. A great place to start if you're nervous or intimdated by big gyms, showing you the correct techniques to safely lift and activate the right muscles. Thanks Luke for all the motivation and caffeine needed to get through the session!
Abi LucyAugust 9, 2022.Kate helped me so much after I had my twins. I used to be very active and found it hard to get motivated after recovering from the birth. Kate helped me get back on track, worked with me to understand my goals and personalised my plan so that it worked for me. I'd never done anything like this before but would definitely recommend BodyReach. I felt really supported throughout and feel like me again now! Thank you Kate!
Linda HopkinsAugust 8, 2022.What a team, Luke & Kate you are the best! I am heading towards my 60's and haven't been happy with my body for quite a while now. Have tried many instagram workout routines but never felt I achieved anywhere near my goals - Then I joined Bodyreach. I have been with Bodyreach now since May this year and am really beginning to see good results. The bodyreach team are what they say, a team! Always there to help you, give you encouragement and basically help you with your journey and end goals. Each week now I am seeing a change in my body and my eating is getting much better too - keeping within my calories (most days!) I can't recommend Bodyreach enough. I smile everytime I put on those jeams I purchased 3 years ago and can now get in! Thank you Kate & Luke you are the best.
Emma WillcoxAugust 7, 2022.Brilliant! Kate really knows what I need and she knows my personal situation and accommodates that into my programme. Easy going and full of encouragement and support. I workout at home and Kate has programmed my sessions for the equipment I have available. Although Kate is my on line PT, Luke is always there for tips and tutorials via Instagram. Would recommend Bodyreach 100%!
Kim DuvalAugust 7, 2022.I absolutely loved my time coaching with Kate BodyReach! From our initial consultation she 100% understood my goals, and made tweaks to my plan as needed. During my 6 months coaching with Kate I was probably the most consistent I have ever been and looked forward to my workouts! BodyReach care about each client as an individual and understand how difficult it can be to juggle life. I'm taking a bit of time out of coaching at the minute but ill definitely be returning to Kate within the next couple of months (if she has space for me!!!)😁
jamie atkinsonAugust 7, 2022.Luke is a fantastic PT, he has created something really special in Body Reach, a small, personal fully equipped gym where under his guidance you are capable of limitless workouts. Equipment aside Luke has worked tirelessly to create a whole package that is far more than just lifting weights, Body Reach provides a whole package of excercise in and out of the gym, nutrition advice - not just a list of foods to eat but advice and guidance on what to eat and why, plus Luke is a really approachable and motivational guy, the amount of text messages, videos and voice notes I get make me feel like I'm not doing this alone. I would bet good money that the online packages with Kate are equally as good, I'm fortunate enough to be local, but if anything changed I'd take an online package without a doubt!
