Luke Walton has over twenty years of experience in fitness, with a background in rowing and triathlon, as both competitor and coach. Luke was a member of the US National Rowing Team from 1999-2003, and also a member of the 2004 Olympic Rowing Team, in Athens, Greece. He was undefeated in his Collegiate rowing career at UC Berkeley 1998-2001, having never lost a heat, semi-final, or final en route to 4 straight PAC-10 and National Championship titles. Luke was recently selected to the PAC-12 All Century Rowing Team, an honor bestowed on a select group of top athletes from the past hundred years. He also studied and rowed at Cambridge University, competing in the Cambridge Oxford Boat Race (the world’s oldest and longest running collegiate competition) in both 2005 and 2006.
Luke employs his vast knowledge and experience in rowing in his coaching of rowing clinics, one on one sessions, and consultations with high school athletes and their parents who are eager to be recruited to row in college. He is one of the original Indo-Row indoor rowing instructors and has coached countless people to learn to row and to improve their rowing stroke power, technique, and efficiency.
Luke has also been competing in and coaching triathlon since 2006 and has a passion and knowledge in the sport that has helped countless athletes meet and exceed their training and racing goals, year after year. He even coached one of his athletes to the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials, in Los Angeles. He remains competitive as an athlete but focuses more on his clients’ successes than his own.
Luke is a recruited college athlete schooled in Politics, both Undergraduate (University of California Berkeley) and Graduate (Cambridge University, England), but has chosen to pursue his true passion, coaching. He brings the experience of both World-Class Athlete and Professional Coach to all of his fitness endeavors.
