Louise Mcluskey

I started as a member at Finsbury Park PureGym in 2017 and have continued to train here since.

I decided to pursue a career in personal training as I felt I could relate to those stepping into the fitness world for the first time or help someone in need of help reaching their goals.

My journey began with a friend encouraging me to join the gym and lose weight by exercising and eating healthy. I had no previous experience of using a gym, hated the thought of exercising whilst carrying extra body fat and felt anxious about others judging me.

But what I did have was the determination for change. Attending the gym 3-4 times a week and hitting cardio exercise mostly, (due to not having any knowledge to train with weights) I was down to my goal weight within 6 months. After almost a year of cardio workouts, I felt my body needed shape and definition. It was time to teach myself exercises using weights and machines to help build muscle. Looking back on my own journey, I would have benefited from the help of a PT to provide me the knowledge on exercises to fit my goals, how to perform them correctly and a tailored exercise programme I could follow, this way I would have progressed faster.

My own journey has made me have understanding for people stepping into the fitness world. From the anxiety of entering a new environment with no given instructions, the awkwardness of lifting a dumbbell for the first time, to the months of working hard and seeing little to no results and wanting to give up due to disappointment.

I can help you overcome any hurdles setting you back from reaching your goals to become a better version of you! Recently qualified in working with GLP-1 users, I can help you on the nutrition and muscle mass retention side of things.
