Try Coach Luiz Gustavo risk free. If you don't love your first lesson, we'll switch you to another coach or give you a full refund.
Hi, I’m Luiz Gustavo! I am a former high-level volleyball player from Brazil who has competed internationally and here in the U.S., where I achieved the Conference Championships during my senior year. Today, I am a dedicated Strength and Conditioning coach and Personal Trainer, passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential on and off the court.
I believe athletic success comes from the combination of skill, strength, and mindset. I bring the experience of competing at high levels, both internationally and in collegiate sports, to every session I coach. I focus on creating training programs that are personalized, efficient, and enjoyable.
I help athletes enhance performance, prevent injuries, and maximize their athletic potential. Whether it is improving explosive power, agility, endurance, or overall conditioning, I design training plans that are tailored to your sport, position, and goals.
Sessions are structured, dynamic, and goal-focused warmups and workouts. We start with mobility and activation exercises to proper get your body ready for the session, move into strength, speed, or skill-specific drills, and finish with recovery and flexibility techniques. Every session is designed to push you safely while building confidence and athletic intelligence.

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
