After gaining enough weight during lockdown i finally decided to sort myself out with a PT for the 1st time ever and set off on the 12week option. Matt has been absolutely fantastic during these 12weeks, and while i complained a lot at the start, Matt was there to listen and reassure me of the work we were doing. Soon enough though the results quickly began to take shape and iv never been happier.
I have just finished 12weeks with Matt and cannot wait to continue with Matt going forward. While the sessions have been hard, Matt has been there motivating and pushing me all the way through and now i wouldnt have it any other way. I would 100% recommend Matt as well as Luke Bremmer Fitness!

I have a horrible recurring shoulder injury which has basically stopped me exercising for years and knocked my confidence getting back in shape. I recently had the opportunity to work with Duncan McPherson from Luke Bremner Fitness. I have never come across someone with such specific expertise and I have been blown away with the progress I have made coming out of intense physio. If you have an injury and lack the confidence to use your body again, I could not recommend him highly enough!

I would highly recommend Luke Bremner fitness for anyone that's serious about losing weight, and getting in shape (and I'm not one to write a review, so that's a testament to how great these guys are!)
The team are highly professional and committed to helping everyone achieve and surpass their goals. It's a private studio, which is awesome for a non-intimidating atmosphere, and you can see how well thought out the training is to each member- not some cookie-cutter programming! I would highly recommend Luke Bremner Fitness as the place to go in Edinburgh if you're serious about improving your health, fitness and body shape.

Being diagnosed with soft tissue rheumatism I knew I needed to do exercise to keep moving, working with Luke has been fantastic as he is always able to tailor the sessions based on how I am feeling and how much energy I have but I always leave feeling better and moving more freely. Luke's also a great coach and has really helped me learn to manage and reduce my stress.

Before working with Luke I felt I was wasting my time in the gym as I didn't know how to exercise properly using weights or machines and didn't really know what to eat to help me reach my goals of losing some weight and toning up. I regularly attended fitness classes but saw little or no change in my body shape at all.
Frustrated, I asked Luke for help and after working with Luke and his team I've completely changed my approach to exercise and the way I eat and have never been happier with my body shape or felt better. I feel Luke and his team really understood me and what I wanted to achieve and worked out a sensible plan that was both realistic, easy to follow and delivered results.

Luke isn't just a trainer but a complete Coach, working from the inside out he helps you to gain clarity in your life and to understand exactly what is required to not only change but completely TRANSFORM. Ever wondered why, regardless of how much you want to get in shape, you just can't stop eating crape... Luke teaches you why and how to overcome that. Fantastic coach and HIGHLY recommended!

Working with Luke, I have lost over 15lbs of weight and greatly improved my body shape. As a result, I now benefit from increased energy and a growing confidence in my self-image and how I feel about myself. Additionally, Lukes nutrition coaching has improved my nutrition and I now understand food and how to eat to meet my goals more than ever. It is great working with a PT who understands your needs. Luke has a wonderful kind manner and personality which helps me to do so much more that I thought I could do.
He continually updates my programmes to ensure constant progress and variety and because I love change this keeps me on my toes, drives my energy and pushes my boundaries. It is also apparent that Luke keeps himself up to date with the latest information about health, nutrition, fitness and well-being which is reflected in his coaching style. Thanks for believing in me Luke, looking forward to future health and fitness developments.

Luke Bremer understands that health has more to do with mindset than anything else, and that is what separates him from the rest!
Luke helped me shift my thinking from one of scarcity to one of abundance! And that significant shift boosted my level of confidence and helped me to create bigger gains in my personal life AND my business! If you are on the fence, or are not 100% sure about committing to working with Luke and his team, then you should definitely say YES, I promise you won't regret it!

Luke Bremner is a fantastic personal trainer! I was looking for a personal trainer that could help me create a healthier lifestyle for myself, and allow me to perform better at work on a daily basis. When I started training with Luke, I had quite a few goals in mind; to lose weight, reduce body fat, improve my strength, increase my flexibility, and increase my energy levels.
Ive already lost 2 stone in weight, and improved on all of my goals. Also, my breathing has improved, my thinking has become clearer, and my self-confidence has greatly increased.
A fantastic added bonus if you ask me. Reaching this point with Luke wasnt overly time consuming and Ive found much joy in this ongoing process. Luke has taught me well, and I feel really motivated to keep up my new habits towards healthier living.
Im now at the point where I can finally see a complete body transformation starting to happen. I have further fitness goals now, and Im really happy, and so thankful to Luke who has been so supportive. Luke has been such a catalyst for these changes in my life.
The actual Luke Bremner Fitness gym is clean, has excellent equipment, and is in a private setting, away from any onlookers etc. However, the most important thing about Luke Bremner Fitness is the trainer himself. Luke knows what he is doing, and has a lot of valuable experience and knowledge to share. His training style makes sense to me, and not once did I feel intimidated or unsure during my training.
I feel like can trust Luke 100%, and couldnt be more pleased with the results so far. Luke is a complete professional. Only thing left to say is:
Contact Luke Bremner Fitness today and start getting happier and healthier! This really worked for me and I would absolutely give Luke Bremner Fitness a 5/5.
Fantastic trainer, and a fantastic private gym in the middle of Edinburgh!
