Your coach
I'm Tom. I coach because structure changed my life.
I'm a personal trainer and nutrition coach in Huddersfield. I'm also a dad of five, a husband, a marathon finisher and a HYROX athlete, and I've been sober for five years.
Training and routine are a big part of how I got my life back. That's why I coach the way I do: simple plans, honest feedback and no fads. You'll get what works, said plainly.
The truth
Five years ago addiction nearly killed me
I'm not saying that for effect. I was at the point where I couldn't see a way out, and I put the people I love through hell. I was a dad and a husband, and I wasn't there for any of it.
I got sober. I've stayed sober one day at a time ever since, with the help of other people in recovery and a sponsor who tells me the truth. I don't do it alone, and nobody should have to.
What rebuilt my life was structure. Getting up, training, eating properly, being honest and showing up for my family. None of it was glamorous. It was small things, done again and again, until they became who I am.
I'm sharing this because someone reading it might be where I was. If that's you, it's not too late and you're not beyond help. I got back up, and so can you.
Where I've come from
I started out as a chef in 2016 and spent years running kitchens and hospitality teams, including general manager of a pub. Long hours and a lot of pressure. It taught me how to plan, how to lead and how to feed people properly, which is why the food side of my coaching is practical.
Since getting sober I've worked in addiction recovery and with young people, supporting people through some of the hardest times in their lives. It's taught me that change sticks when it's built on small habits and a coach who actually listens.
