Ironman + Owner of The Running Company The Shire

I have really enjoyed the sessions and Luke’s ability to adapt to my circumstances in terms of injury and also training load. I have definitely learnt some new techniques and also strength exercises and also the ability to do some of these on my own which has been great.

I definitely feel stronger both physically and mentally from the stuff we have done but also talked about. Going into an event knowing that I have done these sessions gives me confidence not only physically but also the mental side of it.

I would definitely recommend Luke and his training methods, as I have done to other athletes.

Ultra Marathon Runner

I've definitely felt stronger as an endurance based athlete especially taking on one of the hardest events in the country at the Buffalo Stampede Sky Marathon. I don’t think my legs would’ve survived going up and down those mountains. But also gave me great confidence to tackle on more events further down the track.

It's definitely made myself more bulletproof and robust to tackle on any endurance based event with confidence knowing the foundations have been layered down.

I definitely recommend Evolve Human Performance programming to help endurance based athletes achieve their full potential to better themselves in the long run.

Triathlete

Being a triathlete I was constantly battling little niggles and injuries. Ever since being referred to Luke he has helped me eliminate the risk of injury and made me a better stronger runner. I came to him with little knowledge of strength and conditioning and he helped me work out a plan and we have been executing it perfectly. Luke’s knowledge of strength and conditioning is second to none and can’t recommend enough to other people out there who are feeling like they need to get stronger and more out of there running.

Iron Woman + Kona ‘23 Qualifier

I’ve always known adding strength training would help build speed, endurance and protect me from injury. But have never been able to balance it with my ironman training.

After injuring myself just before Ironman Australia and not having the race I had been training for I reached out to Luke to help me address my weaknesses and build strength whilst managing my ironman build.

I couldn’t be happier with the results – I feel stronger than ever and have had the best Ironman build. I ran my fastest 70.3 run at Ironman 70.3 Western Sydney with a 2nd in my age group and qualifying for 70.3 world championships.

Backing up with my best Ironman race with a 10.53 and finally qualified for Kona.

I definitely recommend Luke and his training methods to anyone wanting to achieve their goals!

Ultra Runner + Triathlete

Luke and I have been training on a weekly basis for around 4 months now. I came to Luke with an ITB issue and instability in my knee, through strength training we managed to remove the ITB issue and once again create stability in the knee.

Luke’s knowledge of strength training, general intelligence and understanding of your specific needs is what elevates him to the top of his field. He is highly adaptable to any injury/ niggle or situation that may arise throughout your training process.

Evolve is a great environment, full of like-minded individuals. I look forward to continuing my strength and conditioning and tackling some events next year. I would recommend Luke and Evolve Human Performance to everyone no matter their situation.

Triathlete

Luke has helped my training significantly through managing training loads, maintaining strength levels and increase overall endurance strength levels. Couldn’t recommend the legend enough if you want to get on top of your endurance training. The training block led me to a 25 minute PB for Olympic triathlon, whilst maintaining and gaining in aspects of all strength training.

Runner

Since starting with Luke and taking a more strategic approach to my conditioning training we’ve been able to set up a system that works best for me as an individual athlete. Luke caters to my diverse needs of last minute changes and always is professional and organised. Luke has created a huge focus for me on rehabilitation and prevention with focus on load and effort always at the front of mind when planning my strength/ conditioning training week around my running program.

Luke’s strength as a coach is by far his passion and interest which he expresses through communication always being available for his athletes which I find a key to our relationship. I’ve noticed a direct correlation between taking the time to invest in conditioning and strength with Luke and my body remaining injury free whilst increasing the mileage and intensity in my running and I owe this to Luke.

Luke has helped me become a stronger athlete through his programming and exercises and he has levelled me into taking rest days to be fighting fit for the next workout . I’d wholeheartedly recommend Luke to any endurance athlete looking to stay consistent in there training by implementing some strength and conditioning training to help them stay fit and allow them to grow as an athlete.

Runner

Before starting training with Luke my experience in the gym was close to zero.

Since training with Luke I have learnt and developed a base for how and why to lift weights. First time deadlifting, Squatting, etc, among other exercise which I thought I’d never attempt or implement into training. Learning these techniques with a coach gave me confidence and reassurance that I was moving correctly.

One of the specific reasons for beginning strength trading was to reduce injures and niggles caused by running. It was noticeable within the first few weeks that these ‘niggles’ significantly reduced which in turn aloud me to run more often and feel better doing so. The train has also had an affect on my track/speed running session helping me to run faster for longer.

I would highly recommend Luke as a coach, especially for endurance athletes looking to develop strength and reduce potential injury. Luke knowledge of the body and exercises to address specific goals is outstanding.

Triathlete + Ultra Runner

Getting in contact with Luke I could tell straight away he was passionate about helping people achieve their goals. Luke and the crew defiantly made my 3 hour round trip Monday and Wednesday totally worth it. My body is feeling the strongest it has ever felt whilst also being the fittest I've ever been and a lot of that has to do with this legend of a human. I couldn't recommend evolve any more highly for anyone wanting to start or take their fitness journey to the next level.

Ultra Runner

Coming to Luke I knew my way around the weights room, but as a new endurance athlete Luke was able to provide me with his extensive knowledge on not only how to do exercises to benefit my endurance but deeply explaining how it will benefit me and has set me up with the knowledge that will continue to progress my training and having the best chance at staying injury free.

Ironman Triathlete + Ultra Runner

After a few Endurance Project sessions I noticed big improvements with my strength and mobility. The strength work aided my recovery and ability backup after hard sessions on the feet or the bike - allowing me ramp up my training and stay injury free. I’ve kept Luke on as a regular coach, and plan to have him around as I pursue bigger goals down the road.
