THE PROOF IS
IN THE PEOPLE.

"Since I started working with him, I lost over 30 pounds, I have been injury free and as a bonus, I PR every single race I run. I'm faster, more confident and fell in love with running all over again."

"Strength training made all the difference. It kept my muscles balanced and resilient through long miles. It's the key to not only finishing races, but finishing them healthy and strong."

"Strength training during my marathon training is the only way I was able to conquer the hills of West Virginia. Because of my leg days, I conquered that hill without stopping!"

"This has truly been the life change I have been looking for and finding a coach who gives me tough love for my consistent inconsistency has been amazing. I'm a work in progress, but the progress is finally showing!"

"When I started with Tom, I HATED going to the gym to lift. Now, I am starting to see a change in my body comp from lifting and I'm becoming stronger. Lifting has changed my running as well. I feel like I can go further miles without feeling gassed and it's been a game changer."

"I would tell people who are starting or already have been running the importance of strength training and how much it benefits runners."

"We slowly started increasing my calories, and by race day, I was under 200 pounds for the first time in 20 YEARS! I've learned that eating more isn't the enemy, lifting heavy makes me stronger, and progress comes from trusting the process and staying consistent."

"I joined Coach Tom's 4-week Finish Strong Challenge to motivate me to get ready for Wine & Dine Weekend, and I'm so glad I did! The program felt manageable, and the exercises were engaging enough that I actually looked forward to trying them out."

"Starting, I was 276 lbs and feeling lost. 365 days later of tracking my food, balancing my macros, lifting on a real plan and knee-friendly cardio, I'm 227 lbs. That's just a number. In reality, I'm sleeping better, feeling better, maintaining my mental health better and being a better father and husband."

"Tom's program and community has helped me improve my overall health and well-being with focus on nutrition and strength in a way that caters to my abilities, availability, likes/dislikes, and more. He and the community both challenge and support me with my goals and performance."

"I had no idea how much strength training and focusing on my nutrition would completely change the way I feel about myself and my ability to run. I was training for the Bird in Hand half marathon and it was the fastest half I've had in several years. Total game changer!"

"Before working with Coach Tom, I was getting constant shin splints and hit a wall with running, eating, and training. As the months have gone on, I've seen my shin splints go away and my mile time continue to drop! Thanks to the help of Coach Tom I feel better than ever and my confidence is through the roof!"

"Once a year I would train minimally for a Disney race, but then I would do nothing the rest of the year. After working with Coach Tom I finally had an all year game plan. Not only has my energy increased, but I'm running with my son and he is seeing mom put in the work to be able to play with him."

"Started working with Tom in May and have seen major changes in so many aspects of my life. I have lost 20 lbs and counting, have gained significant muscle definition, and have seen consistent PRs in my last 3 races. Outside of those things, I finally feel happier with the person that I am becoming."

"I lost weight and inches, and now have a new wardrobe that I feel amazing in! I went from an XXL to S/M in 5 months. I gained muscle and enough confidence to actually work out in a hotel gym while on vacation."

"I had worked with an in person personal trainer for 3 yrs, and in that time I progressively gained weight and got more discouraged. I joined your Feb challenge and with your help I've lost 20lbs. I'm gaining muscle, confidence and the running is getting stronger. I just had to trust the process and put in the work."

"Prior to working with Tom I was doing everything right but had hit a wall and wasn't seeing progress. Months of being consistent with nutrition, fueling like an athlete, coupled with a consistent strength program has resulted in 4 consecutive race PRs. So thankful for the tools Tom has given me!"

"I have gained the ability to run a faster pace and longer miles again. I have gained muscle, which allows me to lift heavier but be stronger in daily tasks. I have gained confidence again in my own skin."
