I feel very fortunate to have had Luke McDonald as my Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) when he was working in the Houston area in 2023.
From the start, he seemed quite competent while still striving to continuously improve his CPT toolkit -- and working to apply those tools effectively and empathetically to my peculiar situation.
Specifically, I was a 74 year old man with notable limitations on my left side from shoulder to ankle (from a major accident decades ago which included loss and re-attachment of my arm).
Yet Luke was able to get me to the point where I successfully completed a week of 50+ miles of backpacking with a 30+ pound pack and my then 17 year-old youngest son and other Scouts in the 6,500 to 10,000+ foot elevation wilderness of the Philmont High Adventure Scout Camp.
Thanks, Luke!
