Luis Peña

CEO, Personal Trainer, Life Coach

Luis Peña, is the owner of TRNSFRM fitness in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is known as one of the top nutritionist and trainers due to his rapid business growth over the last 8 years. Luis was born in Valencia, Venezuela, where he lived with his mother until the age of 9, escaping what is now a socialist country. Being raised with little to nothing, the chase of living the American dream was the goal he set out for himself. After finishing business school Luis wanted to continue to pursue a platform in business, but after gaining 80 pounds and being diagnosed with prediabetes and stomach ulcers, he decided to change his whole life perspective. The first realm of transformation for Luis was physical, losing 60 pounds of fat and gaining muscle through an extensive 8 month training program that would lead him to compete in his first bodybuilding show. This opened up an entirely different doorway of success for Luis.
