BEST MOMENTS

"No one became famous or successful from like one thing they did. It's many little tiny things that you do every single day that it's going to really make the most difference and those are the things that compound the most." 

"If you can't create your own plan, invest in a coach, they'll help you out. Turn to a friend, create a plan together, a family member, a partner, do it with someone, it's so much more enjoyable." 

"You've got to want a little bit of hunger for the game. You've got to really want it. Like you can't just set goals and think yeah that'd be nice. You've got to want it. You've got to really fully commit to the cause if this is something you are deadly serious about working towards."

"The minute you apply yourself, I promise you can do anything you want to. I am a firm believer you can be anything you want to in this world, within reason, if you apply yourself and you get a plan, get some goals, surround yourself with the right people, work towards it every single day, you will get there." 

"The more you can break it down, the more you can celebrate those little wins, the more motivated you are going to be to stay on top of that goal."

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.
