Luca developed his passion for fitness at a young age through playing football at a high level. He competed in the League of Ireland, trained and played with Aston Villa for three years at youth level, represented Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians at U19 level (including involvement with their senior teams), and won the First Division League with Drogheda United.

Initially, he turned to the gym to build strength to perform better on the pitch, which later inspired him to qualify as a Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor. For the past six years, Luca has dedicated himself to helping clients of all levels achieve their goals. After stepping away from football due to injury, he embraced new challenges, teaching himself Olympic lifting and expanding his expertise in strength and performance.
