Tom is a 10/10, no-nonsense coach and it has been a pleasure training in his gym. As a novice lifter who often felt self-conscious during workouts, Tom made me feel comfortable and there's a great atmosphere at Winning Strength where everyone helps each other. I got in touch with Tom hoping he could help alleviate the knee pain I felt on leg days. After a month at Winning Strength, my knee has never felt better. I'm comfortably able to squat past parallel which I could never do before. The gym is well-equipped, including several pieces of equipment/machines that you rarely find in other gyms (such as reverse hyperextensions, inverse curls, sleds and mag handles for lat pulldowns). I'm sure experienced lifters would feel right at home as PBs were being broken by his other clients on a daily basis. One of the best things about the facility is the 0.25kg, 0.5kg and 0.75kg magnetic plates that you can attach to any of the dumbbells. Very few gyms have this. It makes progression much simpler as you can increase the weight in small increments. Thanks for all your help over the past month Tom and I wish you and the WS team all the best.

Quite simply Tom is the best of the best when it comes to online strength coaching. As a coach to a Worlds strongest man winner and 5 strongman world records Tom is one of the only other coaches in the industry Id entrust with my programming. All my achievements as a coach are a result of him mentoring me. Ive used his principles as a foundation to create my own systems of training and recommend that any coach wanting to make a mark in the strongman community do the same. Both times Ive won WAs Strongest Man has been under Tom. Both competitions felt like a walk in the park compared to the brutality he put me through. So much so I wasnt even sore the next day. When I was diagnosed with testicular cancer Tom gave me a call and set my mindset right to come back better afterwards, which I did. I wasnt even a client at the time but he genuinely cares about people and just wanted to help me out. Finally thanks to Tom I was able to quit my job as a personal trainer and have never have to wake up at 4am every again since Ive used his principles to get my online clients amazing results. Im grateful for my sleep ins every day and this would never have happened if it wasnt for him.
