Get To Know Coach Luis

I’m Coach Luis, a loving family man with strong spiritual values, and Life Power is a family-owned business with my wife, our daughter, Isabella, and our son, Michael. With the continued support of my wife, I am always continuing my education in physical fitness and health while competing and achieving my own physical accomplishments. I found myself in hardship while in between careers and began training my closest friends and family members. While training, I began receiving great feedback, clients saw significant results, and the referrals started flooding in. This sparked a new drive into the Gonzalez home and with the full support of my wife, our family decided to begin Life Power!

I pride myself on getting to know my clients on a personal level and showing genuine concern for their health. You’re not just a number to me and I don’t just tell you what exercise to do each day. I know the keys to your success are constant communication, education, praise, encouragement, and motivation every day, even when you are not in the gym. You’re not just getting a physical trainer at Life Power, you are gaining a coach, a teacher, and a friend. With nearly 30 years of experience, I know what it takes to help you find the power inside of you to get the results you are looking for!
