I got started training friends at university and then colleagues at Boss Models (NYC). I spent thousands of hours researching methods, testing protocols, and learning through doing. But I didn't get around to earning a formal certification as a personal trainer until 2008. Since then, here's the quick and dirty:

First client won her division in her first figure competition (you're still the prototype, Dana!)
Hundreds of clients from all walks of life followed, both in-person and online
Competed in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and adventure racing
Created and launched the Fit Dad Four, the first protocol to combine 30-minute training sessions, farm to table nutrition, cold-water therapy, and meditation
A week before I turned 40, my wife gave birth to twins and everything turned upside down, got waaaay harder
Joined Elemental Wellness Corporate to help grow and scale the corporate wellness division to have a greater impact in Los Angeles and beyond

TESTIMONIALS

"The training is perfectly tailored to my individual needs. I was ecstatic when I surpassed my personal pull up record! As an almost 50 year old - old man, who knew I could be stronger than the 25-year old young me!"

– Jesus R.
"Thomas set the foundation for me to cut my body fat in half and drop three pant sizes."

— Judd L.
"It has been a game changer for me. And the best part is I work out at home on my back deck outside–I don't have to pay for a fancy gym. Everyone has 30 minutes a day–it's all prioritizing."

— Jennifer H.
"I lost 12 pounds and I've been in the best physical shape of my life."

— Ann W.
"I was cast in a film which required me to be shirtless for the whole picture. As a 50 year-old man I was... Concerned! This guy got me into the very best shape of my entire life. Thomas has my very highest recommendation."

— Michael B.
"Came at a perfect time in my life where I needed an uber amount of courage. The accountability was great–I appreciate it more than you could know."

— Jason A.
"I had just turned 40 and was the mother of 5 children and I was very unhappy with my body. Eight months later I was competing in my first ever figure competition and won first place in my age division!! Thomas helped me understand what living a healthy lifestyle was all about; it's a lifelong journey and a change in mindset."

— Dana C.
Thomas is very different: sure he pushes you and makes go as hard as you can, but he is always changing up the work out based on how you are performing that week, if you have any pains, and really makes sure you are performing at your best with out the risk of injuring yourself.

– Brian C.
Excellent at creating a personalized training plan for real VISIBLE results. Won't let you be a slacker :-)

– Tasha K.
Thomas transcended my knowledge base and helped me reached some personal goals I wasn't sure were possible. I have an ectomoprh build and really struggle to put on weight. With his guidance and motivation I have added muscle and strength in a short amount of time.

– S.W.
He took the time to understand my goals, current fitness level and any injuries or limitations that I might have to ensure that the training session was as productive as possible.

– Scott L.
He would push us with hard but with love. He also was knowledgeable on nutrition and diet and helped both of us get in terrific shape and have stayed healthy since then! A great guy to work with.

– Marty G.
Thomas is a fantastic trainer. He's very focused and changes the workouts often. I co-trained with another friend and he was great at managing both of us at the same time. I would highly recommend him.

– Catherine C.
After years of running and playing tennis and strength-training, I never achieved that chiseled muscular look I wanted until I worked out with Thomas. He was the first trainer who taught me that shorter, more meaningful workouts were the answer. The athletic look I wanted and the level of performance on the court happened very quickly.

– Rosanne E.
I went to Thomas as a flabby, out of shape mom who sat down and pulled my waistband up over my stomach bulge. With his encouragement, I quickly got back into shape and was soon competing in adventure races like the Tough Mudder.

– Kimberly H.
I always felt safe working with Thomas and his sense of humor and compassion made training sessions the highlight of my day. I couldn't believe how much progress I made in such a short time.

– Monica P.
I was impressed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge of physiology, body movement, and nutrition. He introduced me to research from world class doctors that none of the other medical professionals I had met with had even mentioned.

– Mel C.
My confidence grew, my flexibility increased, back problems I had for years ceased almost entirely. I felt sturdier standing upon the Earth. I did things I was unsure of because Thomas pushed me further.

– Glenn A.
He changed the way I thought about fitness. He taught me how to eat right as well as work out right. I must say, I never looked as good or FELT as good, as I did when I trained with him.

– Cissy S.
One of the things I loved most about him was how he worked to educate me so that I could do things on my own. He is incredibly knowledgable and understands how different body types work and that is a HUGE plus in a trainer.

– Sheetal A.
He not only pushed me but he helped me reach a weight loss goal that I thought was unattainable. He has always been committed to my fitness sucesss as well nutrional goals.

– Alison C.
My confidence soared as I not only lost weight but became physically strong. It felt empowering to realize my potential and see all that I was capable of.

– Holly H.
