I'm Tom. For the first half of my life, I had no interest in sport or fitness at all. Then one day, as a kid, I was beaten up by another kid at Center Parcs, of all places.

That inspired me to start training in martial arts, eventually settling on boxing, wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu.

In my late teens I decided to train as an MMA fighter. I trained alongside some of the best in the country and had over 100 fights across smaller tournaments, before changing my long-term plans after learning about the risks of frequent concussions.

My coaches gave me gym programmes to improve my performance in fights, and those sessions stayed consistent long after everything else changed.

Since stepping back from fighting, I've kept training myself in the gym — educating myself on form, programming, nutrition and recovery — and have been coaching others for over two years now.

Hope to work with you soon.
