Luke Milton

When I finished up with professional sport, I really struggled to find that camaraderie and find that mate ship outside of the sport itself, i still get intimidated when I walk into some gym environments. They can be really intimidating places. Looking for a way to bring a positive and team-oriented experience into the fitness industry, Luke Milton founded Training Mate, a fitness studio with an ‘ Aussie ’ flair in West Hollywood, California.

We definitely work hard in a sporting environment for each other and harder than we would have for a stranger.

When I created Training Mate, I really wanted to concentrate on community and fun, and I wanted to take that intimidation out.

We all know how to work in a team environment, and that’s what we’re doing there — we’re creating a team, we’re creating a family that really works together for a common good, and that’s to get a healthy lifestyle.
