Louie is a fantastic instructor, I attended his barre, pilates and on the ball classes at Meridian fitness, it became apparent immediately that he has expert knowledge and is very well established, I quickly became one of his regulars. I worked in fitness for several years as a personal trainer, cycling coach and conditioning trainer for boxers and triathletes, so feel qualified to say that I am really impressed with Louie’s approach. In all of his classes he offers variations to newcomers or those with injuries and his understanding of anatomy seems vast. Louie has had an interesting career as a dancer and his background in dance gives him a fantastic edge on other instructors as he is able to add choreography and use music to keep his classes entertaining.

He has a very sharp wit and a wonderful sense of humour so his classes are always fun and never a chore. I can’t wait to get back to the gym. In the meantime I’ve been taking part in his zoom classes, which have kept me sane through lockdown! Louie is compassionate and empathetic, he designs challenging sessions that are safe and he is quickly able to alter instructions and differentiate. When I aggravated my back injury decorating Louie was kind enough to give me a one to one session advising me of exercises to help, which was wonderful as it was impossible to see a doctor or physio at the time. It really helped me recover quickly. I really can’t recommend Louie enough. He’s a great instructor and a lovely person.
