“I started PT with Tom 5 years ago and I haven’t looked back. I have learnt so much from him, not just about exercise in general, but everything that can support a healthy lifestyle.
Tom has helped me understand how to progress and continually challenge myself. When I began training with him, I didn’t know how to utilise the gym properly, or push myself hard enough. Now, I enjoy being adaptable in my training and trying new things all the time. Tom has especially helped me with weightlifting; he knows how much I love a deadlift!
Tom is a fantastic PT and can support and guide various different fitness levels. He is also great at supporting general well-being and mental health.”

“I started training with Tom with the idea of dropping 5kgs and getting a bit fitter.
With help from Tom, I managed to drop over 35kgs and my strength and fitness goals have totally surpassed my expectations.
I highly recommend Tom as a PT. He has tailored my sessions around my fitness goals and every session is always fun and challenging.”

“After breaking my arm in a skiing accident in 2014, I lost a lot of confidence in using the gym. I was running a lot but needed some professional guidance to keep progressing. I have known Tom since attending his infamous HIIT classes at Horfield Leisure Centre and found them not only brilliant fun and motivating, but they pushed me to try using the gym again too. I then started PT sessions with Tom in September 2019. I now feel confident using my arm in the gym, and at using the gym when I’m on my own. Before, walking into the weights area was something I just wouldn’t do and now I feel confident not just to use the weights, but also to push myself and constantly try to improve my technique guided by Tom. I have felt so many benefits, not just in fitness but in confidence in my own ability and helping me overcome the fear of using my arm when lifting weights etc.
I have been training with Tom for over 2 years now. Particularly through lockdown Tom has been a constant support – not only with fitness but mentally too. He has supported me throughout with online training sessions, both with and without weights and with his carefully thought out weekly training plans there is always a variety of exercises, adapting if needed.

“When I started training with Tom (in December 2017) I was terrified of the “weights room”, couldn’t lift an empty shoulder press machine, and couldn’t pick the training bar up off the floor. Fast forward to now and I am happy, healthy, confident and autonomous in my training (and lifting literally 105x what I started with).
Tom is extremely personable, adaptable and supportive and works his socks off to tailor training and advice to every client’s needs, wherever you’re starting from and wanting to go. He has pushed me physically, mentally and supported me emotionally to be the strongest, healthiest person I can be. Thank you, Tom!”

“Tom is great and very patient and supportive. As one of his more mature clients I can tell that although he pushes me, he also takes the time to adjust the schedule so that it reflects my needs and ability. I would recommend him to anyone of any age. Thanks, Tom.”

“I’ve been working with Tom on and off for the past 7 years. He’s helped me tone and strengthen for my wedding, lose the baby weight and now just for me and my well-being. He’s great, always has a cheery welcome along with great banter. He’s consistently on hand for any help, advice, and encouragement. He keeps things exciting with boot camps, weight loss challenges, and even a Burpee-Athon! I couldn’t do it without him. Thanks again Tom.”
Kelsi
“I have been training with Tom for over 2 years and it has been the best decision I’ve made in regards to my fitness.
I love the way he pushes me out of my comfort zone, encourages and supports me when I come up with crazy challenges such as climbing Everest on a stair master, rowing a marathon distance in a single time and this year competing in the Superhuman Games.
Not only has my cardio fitness improved, but so has my strength and weight lifting technique.
I love the variety of my training programme, especially the ‘Big Friday’ workouts, even though I wonder if Tom’s trying to kill me!
I would absolutely recommend Tom as a PT to everyone and wish I had come to him earlier.
I also took part in Tom’s 8 week weight loss challenge last year, which was a great kick start and reset after the unhealthy eating habits I’d picked up over lockdown. It was a really supportive and informative and I was so pleased with the results and have continued with meal planning and healthy eating.”
Jo
“Tom has been my PT for 4 years and really helped increase my strength training whilst I was training for triathlons as well as keeping me on track throughout lockdown. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to get fit or improve their fitness for specific sporting ambitions.”

“I have been working with Tom for a few years now and he is amazing. He showed me such kindness and determination when I was facing major surgery on my knee and because of the work we did together I am fully recovered and training for a half marathon.
Tom is one of life’s great encouragers. Always believing you can do it, even when you think it’s not possible. He’s fantastic to work with and I would today recommend him.”

Tom has been my Personal Trainer since November 2021 and I highly recommend him. I find him to be knowledgeable and very experienced. He is patient, and he is focused on my individual needs as someone new to personal training .
Importantly, he manages to achieve the perfect level of firmness in terms of his expectations of me as a client, appropriate to my needs and personality and life stage !
So that I always feel he is pushing me to achieve my very best but at same time within a relaxed approach .
I am really pleased with the progress I have made since working with Tom . My body feels noticeably stronger overall and I feel more flexible.
Tom has a good sense of humour and is very personable so that all in all his sessions are really enjoyable. After a series of 10 weekly sessions with Tom, I am very motivated to go further with Tom and have just signed up for my second series of 10 sessions with him.”
Barbara
“Before starting PT with Tom, I went to his exercise classes, which were always excellent. I decided I wanted to become stronger so started a 6-week block with him, 3 years later I am still doing PT with him, and definitely becoming stronger.
I was really unsure of what to do in the gym and felt very intimidated by the weights room, Tom has given me the knowledge and confidence so I can happily train on my own and don’t feel intimidated anymore. Tom helped me maintain my fitness through my 3rd pregnancy and helped me regain my fitness postnatally too.
He has always adapted to my schedule and needs so effortlessly. He is very personable, kind and understands the needs of his clients. Tom is a great PT that really does care about his clients and their progress. I would highly recommend him.”
