Meet Lou: The Strength Behind HHOS
Hi, I’m Lou, head coach and owner of The Horwich House of Strength! With over 8 years of experience in coaching and personal training, my journey began with a degree in Biology and a surprising stint teaching mathematics. This diverse background led me to create the Logical Lifting brand—a no-nonsense approach to cutting through the myths and misinformation that plague the fitness industry.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, from elderly individuals aiming to improve their fitness to competitive athletes striving to dominate their sports. I firmly believe there’s no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" solution in fitness. The principles of training may be universal, but every individual is unique. That’s why I tailor my methods to fit the client, not the other way around.
At HHOS, we’ve built the strongest and friendliest gym in Horwich and the surrounding areas. Our space is inclusive and welcoming to everyone, with training options for bodybuilding, strongman, functional fitness, powerlifting, weightlifting, or simply improving general health and well-being. Whatever your goals, we’ve got you covered.
My personal journey hasn’t been without its challenges. I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that severely affected my life for 4-5 years. This condition strips the protective sheath from nerves, causing intense pain with any physical activity. Despite this, I’ve learned to adapt, persevere, and build mental resilience—a skill I bring into my coaching to inspire and support my clients.
To quote Jamey Jasta:
"Give me your broken. Give me your beaten. I will build them up, I will lead them…"
At HHOS, we’re here to help you overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and unlock your full potential. Let’s get stronger together!

The Gym
The Horwich House of Strength (HHOS) is a tribute to the original "House of Strength," known as the Zurkhaneh, reflecting my Iranian/Persian heritage. The term “Zurkhaneh” translates to “house of strength,” and I couldn’t think of a more fitting name for a gym.
When we moved to Horwich, I wanted to highlight and celebrate the town I love and live in while maintaining a connection to my roots. As a fan of alliteration, naming it the Horwich House of Strength felt like the perfect way to honor both.
But HHOS isn’t just a gym where you sign up and are left to figure things out on your own. Through my years of training and coaching, I’ve seen that this approach often doesn’t work for most people. Yet, hiring a coach at £30-50 per hour isn’t always feasible.
That’s why I created HHOS—to offer an affordable training facility that goes beyond just gym access. At HHOS, you’ll find personal training, tailored routines and programming, and nutrition advice all included under one roof, making effective training accessible to everyone.
