In the early 2000s, Luke Milton was one of the biggest names in Australian football, playing NRL for the Sydney Roosters before switching codes to become a star recruit in rugby union.
These days, however, the 36-year-old calls Hollywood home, having gone from the footy field to the private gyms of the world’s biggest celebrities. Speaking with BW Magazine on Saturday, the personal trainer opened up about his incredible career, honing the bodies of stars such as Khloe Kardashian.
In the past five years he’s helped to sculpt the sensational physiques of stars such as Elle McPherson, Rachel McAdams and Teri Hatcher. It wasn’t long before Luke attracted the attention of Khloe Kardashian, who picked him up for a star role on her hit E! reality series, Revenge Body. He has also trained local actress, Pia Miller. But despite now becoming a notable name in his own right, Luke is still staying down to earth.
‘When it comes to how I train them (clients), whether they have won an Oscar or whether they are your average Joe, it doesn’t matter, the end goal is the same. Our philosophy is exactly the same,’ he told BW. And despite plans to expand his fitness empire, with workout studios set to open in London and New York, Australia will always be home for the star. ‘My family is in Cronulla (Sydney)’, Luke told BW, before adding: ‘There is no better place in the world.’
