LUKE TAYLOR
Taylored Head Coach, Health & Performance Specialist, Ex-New Zealand Triathlete
The Taylored Method was designed from Luke’s personal journey. Unable to find answers to his own health struggles, Luke established a system to uncover underlying issues that often go undiagnosed. By uncovering the root cause of health and performance issues, Luke believes we can help unlock true potential. He thrives off a challenge and loves connecting the dots to find the answers that others haven’t, ultimately empowering our clients to take action.
Triathlon and high-performance training has been a big part of Luke’s life as he wanted to test and polish the Taylored Method. Ironman, as a discipline, became a focus for him as he felt it epitomised the athletic potential of the human body while combining the need for highly effective time management strategies that many of our clients find challenge with. Over the last year, Luke has leaned deeper into Taylored as he works to recover from his own Traumatic Brain Injury after coming off his bike during the Bintan 70.3 Half Ironman in Indonesia.
If Luke isn’t in athletic lycra you will find him in some rubber, surfing or in the mountains, snowboarding. Chances are also high that you find him in his favourite cafes, working and drinking coffee – he does love his coffee 😉
