About
My name is coach Tom. I help people with their physical goals. These can include skill development, strength training, flexibility training, speed training, injury rehab and prevention, etc. I enjoy working with kids and young athletes as well as adults looking for a better way to train. The best fit for me is client who is looking for solution they haven't found. I am not a good fit for a client who lacks their own self motivation.
Let's set up a free 15 pre-qualification call to see if we are a good fit for each other.

Prior to working with Tom, I wasnt aware of how stretching directly impacted my speed, agility and overall performance while preventing injury. Once I started making stretching a regular part of my routine, I was amazed at how quickly I felt better and moved better. Toms approach to fitness is much different than other trainers Ive worked with in the past. Hes knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly, encouraging.If I hadnt started working with Tom, theres a good chance I would have gotten injured. I didnt stretch regularly or long enough. I didnt have a clear understanding of how much stretching was ideal for me based on the frequency of my workouts. Now, Im moving better, my speed has improved, and I feel so much better too! Im also much more aware of my posture. Due to his nutrition recommendations, I now have less food sensitivities too! Thank you, Tom!

I had been strength training with personal trainers for over 15 years and I learned more about my body in just one meeting with Tom. We walked through my history and discussed my goals. Tom developed a personal plan for me based on my current situation and to help me achieve my goals. It is definitely a process to unwind all of the tightness that I have created by just strength training for several hours a week for years and years. I had no idea that I needed to take more time to properly stretch my body in order to properly strength train. I met Tom at a networking event and when he introduced himself, I knew it was a God-Wink that we met. I am in my mid-50s and my body was in constant pain due to improper posture and my strength training routine. I immediately stopped working out with my current trainer and hired Tom to help me unwind the damage that I was doing to my body. After 2-months on his program, I have never felt better, moved better, or slept better. Thank you Tom!

"I can say without hesitation that working with Tom changed my life.After surviving two separate car accidents, I was left battling chronic pain and the debilitating effects of fibromyalgia. I had lost hope. The pain wasnt just physicalit seeped into every part of my life, including my mental health. I was struggling deeply.Tom didnt just help me move againhe helped me believe again.His patience, kindness, and holistic approach gave me the physical tools and the emotional courage I needed to heal. During one session, when I was in a very dark place mentally, Tom said something that stuck with me: "There are people who have the same diagnosis, who live without pain. This doesnt have to be your forever." That moment quite literally saved my life.With his guidance, I began to understand that my body wasnt my enemyit was trying to heal. Today, I live almost entirely pain-free. I feel vibrant, joyful, and whole. And I credit so much of that to the work I did with Tom.If youre struggling like I was, pleasemeet him. If you feel synergy, trust him. And most importantly: do what he says. He is a gifted guide who can help YOU heal YOU."Sincerely, Shanna Forrestall

I've been working with Tom for a few months now, and I feel very grateful to have stumbled upon his services. I have been training for an upcoming goal and recovering from a leg injury, and Tom has been an invaluable resource. His methods and knowledge have allowed me to transition from recovery to reintroducing activity and achieving my goals. Tom is experienced in identifying deficiencies in form and technique, while also promoting good habits and overall improvement in quality of life. He is approachable, flexible to your needs, He keeps your goal in mind, and I feel comfortable spending my time and money with Him. While you may be able to learn on your own using online resources, there is no substitute for having a professional there with you in person to monitor your activity and provide guidance in real time. I would recommend Tom without hesitation!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't sell packages I only bill for my time. That's because my service is task based rather than time based.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
15-30 min consultation so that you can ask me questions to determine if I'm. a good fit and I do the same of you. Then if we agree to work together the 1st appointment is interview (so i can learn about you, your goals, history, and how to help), assessments to determine starting point, program design (make a plan together). Then schedule appointments to teach any relevant components of the program. Beyond that, frequency of supervision is your decision. Make a new program at the end of every training block and start the process again.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Currently I am a level 9 King Sports International Physical Preparation Coach. In the past I held certifications that included NASM personal trainer, CSCS, Equinox master instructor
