Tom has been my personal trainer for over 4 years now. Training with Tom has been a game changer for me. He’s very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. When I first started training with him I had several health and fitness issues. Tom was patient to listen and understand my training needs and customized sessions to help me. Hes very motivating and makes workout sessions fun. Tom is the best in his craft! Thank you Tom for taking care of me!

I’ve been training with Tom for a few months now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Like anything in life, fitness is one of those things where you get out what you put in. Having the right coach makes all the difference. Tom knows exactly how to push you past the limits you think you have, and help you reach your actual potential. That’s where real progress happens.

Through his online coaching, Tom provides both accountability and correct programming. I came in with a vision of what I wanted to achieve but had no real idea how to get there. With all the conflicting advice floating around online, it's hard to know what’s right. Once I started working with Tom, the guesswork was gone and the results started to show.

In just a few months, I’ve significantly increased my training volume, consistently hit new PRs on nearly every major lift, dropped a noticeable amount of weight and built functional strength.

If you’re serious about improving your fitness and want someone who knows how to get you there, I recommend Tommy.

If you need a push, Tommy is your guy. He is tough, gets you moving but above all, friendly and encouraging. I work at a desk all day and need that motivation. Tommy is there with his huge grin and its straight to work. He is helping me with a trapped sciatic nerve and so far so good. He does push you to your limits but not past. He is a TOP guy.

Tommy doesn't just train your body, but also your mindset. Like many people, going to the gym is hard, you want to get fit but you also lack the motivation. With Tommy, he really puts you in that zone and makes you want to work out, to be excited to work out. Amazing coach and I recommend him 100%!

Road to recovery from my heart attack (in my 40s), was a process and I found Tommy 6 months after the fact. Being myself a former athlete (University football & football men's league after), playing various sports throughout my life, it was difficult to restart from scratch again. I have been going to him for personal training over a year now. He has helped me recover my strength, and he has mixed up my training from mobility training to calisthenics to weightlifting, etc. In addition to his training regiment, there is good conversations therefore never boring =). I still have goals of fitness that I want to reach, and Tommy is helping me to get there. Cheers!

I have been training with Tom for 3 weeks so far and it's been going great! I honestly had no motivation to go to the gym alone so having a trainer is really important to me. He is overall a great guy, very knowledgeable and really pushes me and holds me accountable. I'm already down 10 pounds! Can't wait to reach my goal, and to keep going! Thanks for putting up with me Tom 😁

Personal trainer for kids and adults. I took my kids here for some private training, we did this as a family which really helped make our relationship stronger. Tommy is friendly and knowledgeable. The kids really enjoyed their time there. I also had private training on separate occasions which helped me focus on my body. Highly recommend this place. Very reasonable pricing .
