Luke McDonald
Luke is a born and raised Texan who puts God at the center of his life. He started his fitness journey at 13 years old, where he learned the powerlifting movements, but unfortunately, his trainer would end up over-training him and he started to develop back pain. In 2017 he joined the United States Air Force as an A-10 Crew Chief where he was placed in the 75th AMU at Moody AFB, then at the 25th AMU in Osan AB. After serving 4 years stateside and overseas in Jordan and S. Korea, he came back to Texas. Because of his time in the Air Force, Luke had to deal with additional spinal damage, which lead him to become a personal trainer who held corrective exercise at the core of his training.
As a proud Veteran, he looks at these otherwise unfortunate setbacks as more of a gift than an injury. Because he was trained improperly, his goal is to prevent anyone from having to deal with pain due to poor exercise programming. Luke then moved around as a trainer and ended up doing in-home fitness in Houston, Texas where he realized he loved working with older people who wanted to increase their quality of life. Empower In Home Fitness is the result of all he's gone through and learned.
