Success Stories

Video transcript: Started working with Toms after, I guess was sort of looking for a bit of a change in my training. I've sort of done a lot of strength and conditioning over the years, but probably predominantly based on training for Aussie Rules football and that sort of era or aspect of my life sort of finishing up now. So I was looking at changing things up and met Toms in Bali and it just sort of intrigued me seeing the way he trained and the way he was able to move. So it's been super interesting working with. With Toms. His attention to detail is pretty awesome. We sort of. Every week he goes through my training videos and just picks. Picks up little critiques. Every week I feel like I'm learning new things and adapting to the way that I guess, and it's sort of teaching me as well as he critiques me to. To work out, I guess, the different exercises we're doing, what I'm meant to be achieving out of it. Yeah, it's been really good. Just sort of saw some massive improvements. Well, in my. In my hip mobility with a few movements. Hadn't really. Hadn't really done before. Cosex, squats and seated good mornings and things like that. Yeah, the improvement's been pretty awesome, actually. So, yeah, they've really been enjoying it, actually, and just looking forward to seeing the changes in my body and how I move in the next six, eight months. So. Cheers, Toms.

Video transcript: Hey, guys. So my name is Jonny Mitchell and I was working with Toms for a period of time to help with a shoulder injury, which I had go into. Yeah, that's about that shoulder injury I've had for, like, about probably about 10 years originally. I got it from just working out a little bit too hard when I was a lot younger and lifting more than I should have. So I have quite wide shoulders and when I used to bench press, my grip would be quite wide and I think I took a lot of the strain into my shoulders rather than my chest. And I started getting a lot of issues just with, like, pinching motion. Certain movements were, like, causing, like, a lot of. A lot of pain. And I stopped being able to do, like, flat bench press and I had to always be at, like, a certain angle. And, yeah, it was. As I've got into my 30s, it's causing more issues, like hurts if I sleep on it, I wake up in the middle of night, it's like aching. So, yeah, that was an issue, as you can imagine. What I've tried before is in the uk, I did something called shock wave therapy, I think, and I think that's what it was called. It was basically someone had like a. Like a little tube of a ball bearing inside and it was tied up to, like, a hydraulic whatever, and it would basically knock the ball back and forth in the cylinder to create like a. And by damaging the muscle, it was supposed to actually repair it. And that did help briefly, but it didn't help the problem in the long run. As soon as I stopped doing it, within a couple of months, it was sort of back to normal. So, yeah, because of these issues, I reached out to Tom's, seen that he trained some people that I knew, and that's kind of how we worked together to kind of give me some exercises and some things that I could do to relieve the pressure in this shoulder and to get it back on track to repairing itself. After training with Tom for a relatively short period of time as well, just before I took a trip at Christmas, it does feel a ton better. And I think that's mainly due to the fact that I now know which stretches to do and which ones not to do. I was doing, like, very basic kind of, you know, textbook stretches. He gave me some pretty, I guess, unusual stretches to do for my shoulder before and after workouts and every morning as well. And my shoulder feels a lot better because of it. When I train, there's still some, you know, if I get the wrong movement, it might give me a little bit of pain but the most important thing for me is that waking up in the morning I no longer have like this frozen shoulder. It's actually, you know, flexible and loose and overall it's yeah it's not giving me any pressure or any trouble in the mornings. Yeah So I think the biggest improvement is just the fact that I have like more normal day to day movement and flexibility. Like I even even like scrubbing my back in the shower would give me problems before and now that everyday movement is yeah it's just pretty much back to normal and the only time that I really get problems from it is when I'm working out and that's probably due to the fact that I'm still being a bit lazy with my posture and my movements but overall extremely good experience with Tom's great guy and great trainer and yeah I'll be working with him again once I fuck my shoulder up again which I'm sure won't be too long so cheers tomorrow.

Video transcript: Working with TOMS really fast tracked my fitness goals. I've been working with TOMS for about three months. My name is Jenna and I'm 38 years old. I used to teach yoga full time and working out was basically my full time job. And over the last few years transitioning into a different style of work. I've really been missing that motivation to stay mobile, to stay active. And I've noticed myself getting weaker and, and ranges of motion that used to be really accessible to me became frustratingly out of range. So I was trying to motivate myself on my own for years and I was getting nowhere. And even if I did go to the gym consistently or I was on my mat more consistently, I wasn't getting the results that I was looking for. You really get tired of your own shit at some point. You get tired of telling yourself you're going to do this, telling things you're yourself, things are going to change and then them not actually changing. So about three months ago I messaged TOMS and I was like, I just need things to change. I need to have someone hold me accountable. I need someone with more knowledge and more awareness of the human body that can help guide me in practices and movement that I feel are well designed. It was really important to me to work with somebody who I trusted to know about the body. I wanted to maintain my range of motion, increase my range of motion, but really increase my strength. That was really, really important to me. For context, at the start of the program, I was on the literal other side of the world from Toms and he still made it smooth, easy and effective. I loved it. I was excited to go to the gym. The workouts were consistent but still interesting, so I didn't get bored. I watched my range of motion improve so quickly as well as my strength. I, I was making my way towards goals that I had been struggling with for years. Working with Toms was a huge game changer. The feedback he gave was incredible, super, super helpful. The calls we did were supportive. I felt like it was a very holistic approach and really got me to what I was hoping to achieve so much faster than I ever would have done it on my own. I'm so grateful to have worked with him and I look forward to all the fun things that are coming as we continue to progress in our work together.

Video transcript: When I first started this program with Coach Toms, I was looking for a new approach to move my body. I felt like I had been plateauing in my own gym routine. I really enjoy weightlifting and strength training, but I just felt like there was something missing. Coming across Coach Tom's profile, I was immediately intrigued and impressed. I wanted to train like him. Just seeing the way that he moves and his strength and his flexibility, I decided I wanted to be like that as well. To be strong, to be mobile and flexible. After working this program for a few months, I totally expected to see results in the gym. But I didn't realize that these physical benefits were were also going to serve me outside of the gym and in my home and work life. I've been a licensed cosmetologist for over 10 years, and that profession can be really hard on the body. I've noticed significant change for the better. I can stand longer. My hands don't hurt as much. My knees don't hurt. My hips feel good. Coach Tums encourages you to set realistic goals for yourself. And not only does he tailor his program specific to those goals, but also to your individual needs. If you have an injury, he'll help you strengthen and heal it and train it. Prioritizing this mobility and strength program for me really just translates to healthier living. It's enabling longevity in my career and giving me abundant energy and confidence. And if you're wanting to level up for yourself, I implore you to do the same. It's been a game changer, so thank you, Coach Toms. Sam.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Anka, and I think I started working with Toms back in February, in January, I was on this holiday in Bali, and one day I went to this gym and I saw Toms in the gym and the way he was training, and I was just amazed about the techniques that he was doing and exercise, because until then, I never saw, like, mobility training, strength training. I was used to do trainings only with the weights. So I texted him back then and asked him if he wants to do some session with me. We did like three trainings. Then I got back home in Romania and started to think, okay, this is like a whole new chapter for me. I don't know how to listen to my body. I don't know how to be in control in my body. I know how to respect my body. And I texted Thompson. I said to him, okay, I need to work with you, because I feel that you could learn me a lot of things and also listen to my body and be in control with my body. So here we are now, like five months, I think we have trainings, and I'm so pleased and amazed about the results that I'm seeing in my body. And I'm so happy because he always give me, like, the. The exercise that I need for my body. I know sometimes I have lower back pain and he just adapt, adapts the. The trainings that I have to do and exercise. I've noticed that I have. I've developed, like, a really good mobility, and I didn't know that I have this also. Strength improved so much, and also the posture of my body. And I think I. I always say to my friends, if you start working with thumbs, it's not. Not just the training and that's it. It's like a way of living. Because I've learned how to be so disciplined and learn how to eat, to have three meals, learn how to sleep proper, learn how to respect my body and take care of. Take care of my body. I didn't know how to until th. I didn't know how to work and go. To have a training and not like, give 100% if I was not in the mood. And he told me, and he learned me that it's okay to give one day 60% and not 100 because you're human. You need to listen to your body. And I didn't know how to do this until start training with him. Also, I like. I think my favorite exercise are the one that you need to be in control with your mind and also with your body, because I have this tendency to be like an overthinker. And sometimes when I'm trained, my mind goes wild. And when I have this kind of exercise, it's like a really good mind training. I think I can say because of the way you need to be in control and be focused also on breathing. So, yeah, I think it's, it's a way of living and I think for me it's like a new chapter and I'm so pleased about the results of my body that has and the way I started to look. And I think it's really important to be aware if you're, you're going to start this journey. It's not about just the way of looking good. It's about first, it's about being healthy and to be in control with your mind and with your body. And I think Tams is the perfect teacher, maybe I could say mentor because you don't learn only how to move and I don't know, train you learn how to love yourself and be and have respect for yourself. And I think I would recommend 100%. I'm so pleased about the results and I'm so excited to see like the, what will happen in the future and if I, if I go to the point where I want to go now in my mind because I want to push the boundaries and see what is going to happen. So, yeah, thank you so much times. I really appreciate it that I met you. Bye.

Video transcript: Hello, my name is Sadri. I'm from Spain. Personally. I met Tom in Uluwatu in Bamboo Fitness. When I went there to train, I saw him doing a specific training, and I love the way he moves. And I asked him for doing a personal training because in that moment, I had a lot of limitation in my hips and some pain in my hamstring. And I'm so grateful nowadays because in our first session, we can improve a lot. But the most important thing for me is that he give me that knowledge, that progression, and that exercises to do by myself next weeks. And I'm feeling so much better nowadays. And I recommend every person who wants to improve and have more awareness about how to move better to contact Toms because he's a professional and also he's a nice person.

Video transcript: Hey, what's up, guys? My name is Andres. If you guys are thinking about working with tons, I cannot recommend it enough. I think working with him was, like, definitely one of the biggest, like, positive changes that I made for my. For myself. I am. I've always been into powerlifting and boxing and just any sort of contact sports as overall, but I've never been really good about, like, taking care of myself as far as, like, recovery and stretching and working on mobility. So over years and years and years of. Of just training really, really hard, I. My body just got really tight. And then over the last, like, I want to say year, it would hurt even to, like, get out of bed in the morning. My. My body would just feel really tight. I have never been able to, like, even touch my toes whenever I, like, go down to the ground and everything. So I found Tom's at bamboo, and I told him, like, all the things that I've been struggling with, and we've been. We worked together for a little bit over six months, and I worked with him twice a week, and it was probably the best thing that I've ever done. Within a couple weeks, I started seeing, like, a lot of changes in my flexibility and a lot of changes in, like, my overall recovery. I started. I started feeling stronger, and I started feeling, like, better. Like, every morning wasn't a pain. It was. It wasn't painful to get out of bed. Like, I would totally just wake up, roll out of bed, and then be totally fine. My strength, my endurance started getting better and everything overall. So I think working with him was probably one of the best things that I did on that end. Definitely lesson learned as far as, like, never let. Let that part of training go, like, go away anymore. Like, working on my mobility and strength and recovery has been, like, one of my biggest, like, main points, like, moving forward. I wish I'd still be training with him if I was still in Bali with him, but, yeah, I cannot recommend it enough, guys.

Video transcript: Hello everyone. Okay, I'm sharing my feedback throughout my first month training with Coach Toms. I bet you are cool guys and girls since you are joining this page. Starting with the most important thing is I started trusting my body movement. I used to be very cautious. I felt more confident in the practice itself with time. His way of training is more engaging, simple and flexible which is the most suitable for me and I'm enjoying it. After one month of training, it affected me in a positive way by focusing on my joints and exploring my limits. And the feedback I was receiving from him is very helpful in progressing and I really highly recommend this unique experience because he's no ordinary coach. Enjoy it. Bye.

Video transcript: Hello everyone. My name is Bogdan. I've been training with Toms for about a year and a half. I was struggling with chronic back pain, lower back pain and shoulder pain. And ever since, I mean, after few months of training with him, my pain went away and never came back. My body got stronger, I feel better, my range of motion and everything got wider. So yeah, I highly recommend his, his ways of training. And yeah, everyone should, should actually try whoever is doing the normal gym training, which I was doing for such a long time and I was, I was fit, but I was weak and stiff. So I highly recommend to, to give it a try and see for yourself. Thank you.

Video transcript: Hello. So, yeah, the reason for me why I wanted to start training with Tom was I had many years ago, like, by now it's 14, 15 years ago, I had a femur head necrosis, meaning there was no blood circulation in my left femur head and my hip. So slowly, slowly, the bone died. And after 13 years, it got so bad that I had to get a replacement. So after the surgery, I was looking for ways to regain my strength and regain my flexibility and range of movement and being able to properly serve again, where it's obviously quite important to have very range of movement in the hips. So I started training with Tom and it was actually quite challenging in the beginning. There was, yeah, just as you can imagine, after full hip replacement, or actually I did the resurfacing called macmin hip. But anyway, even though that's a really good hip, it was very difficult to get proper movement back and the training with Tom was absolutely incredible. Absolute game changer. I went from barely being able to do much at all to almost, yeah, I'm much, much better if I go to yoga classes or Pilates classes, I'm. I'm one of the most flexible guys now. It's absolutely amazing surfing. I can actually have the mobility to move into a barrel again. I can go really low on my board. So, yeah, for me it's been incredible. It's. I tried many, many things before and before the surgery, I tried many things to, to now have the surgery and nothing really worked and so extremely happy with the results. Can I can recommend Tom to anybody who needs to regain strength and flexibility and yeah, he's going to be your guy, he's going to help you out.

Video transcript: Hey, four months in now since I started working with Toms and can highly recommend doing that. So I met him in Bali. We worked out in Bali a couple of times and then we switched to online via app. Uses a special app and adjusts my workout plan every week and gives feedback, comments. I'm recording videos. He's giving feedback on the videos. Super helpful. It's great to stick with the plan. I don't need to think about what I'm doing in the gym. And I've been working out pretty much all my life and felt like it's pretty unaffective because I was lacking the possibility that my body. The possibilities that my body are capable of. And with Toms, I discovered there's much more range of movement there. You can even load mobility exercises. You can even include more mobility exercises and also adjust exercises so that they become more of a mobility focus. And I really enjoy that. I really feel it's a holistic approach. Loads of wisdom and loads of creativity. Loads of playfulness. So it's. If that's what you're after, then I think Coach Thomas is the. The right one to talk to about. Really happy with the results. Also feel way better. Feel my body way better, more flexible. I'm stronger, I'm getting more lean, and yeah, I'm really, really enjoying that. And workouts don't really feel like workouts. They feel more like guided play. And that's what I'm really happy for. So, Coach Thomas, thank you so much for your support, for your efforts and for your knowledge and your orientation. Let's keep it going.
