BEST MOMENTS

"I was looking for something where I could do it at home or at the gym... I'm not gaining any consistency or any changes or like I wasn't getting anywhere, any progress with this other group."

"I didn't take my inhaler for five months, which is the longest since I was about seven... everything just improved like overall health and fitness I just felt like at my best."

"The new app I much prefer. It's so much easier to access like all the recipes and documents... I found it really good."

"Just like tracking food and like I'm quite like a grazer so I'll just walk past and like hoover something up but like I'm writing it down and tracking it and like even like taking photos and stuff which seems a bit silly at the time but just all of that, like if you are tracking something, you are more aware of it."

"I just find like, it's a bit cringy to say it to your face, but just find you like quite like a warm and like motivating person... I do find like if you're looking for like that sort of group mentality and like all the girls are really supportive in the group."

HOST BIO
Lou's personal journey with body confidence and food struggles began at the age of 15, where overeating and guilt around food consumed her. But everything changed during the lockdown in March 2020. Determined to regain control, Lou immersed herself in research, found joy in working out in her garden, and started tracking her nutrition and steps. Surprisingly, she lost a stone in less than three months and discovered a newfound love for fitness.

Fueling her passion, Lou pursued personal training qualifications and launched her Instagram page in September 2020. After months of building a solid foundation, branding, and gaining relevant expertise, she started helping others achieve what once felt impossible—losing fat, feeling empowered, and loving the journey without restrictions. With numerous success stories, digital products, and a thriving membership program called Train with Lou, Lou now coaches, teaches, and learns about food, exercise, and mindset.
