LUKE GALLOWAY, ACE-CPT CSCS PN1 – LEAD PERSONAL TRAINER

Luke was born and raised at 7,000 ft in Flagstaff, AZ before he moved to Bellingham to attend WWU. At Western, he practiced as an ACE certified personal trainer at Wade King Student Recreation Center, helping host competitive weightlifting meets and develop group fitness classes. He received his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology as a health and fitness specialist with a focus in sports psychology. By interning at Gritworks Athletics, Luke made a major step towards his ultimate goal of becoming an NCAA Strength and Conditioning Coach. As a lifelong athlete, Luke believes that each individual should be trained holistically to prevent injury and improve longevity. He feels strongly that proper diet, sleep, and stress management are just as important to health and performance as a guided training program. Luke’s favorite tool as a trainer is the swiss ball, due to its versatility and promotion of stability and balance.

Luke (he/him/his) has played basketball since age 5 and enjoys coaching as well as refereeing the game. He has also officiated youth volleyball, baseball, softball, and flag football games around Whatcom County. When he is not training or learning, Luke enjoys hiking, camping, and backpacking throughout the western United States.
