In 2020 during the first covid lockdown I created an article to be featured in two different knitting magazines. I developed a routine of simple stretches to help knitters stay active and mobile throughout the day while doing a hobby that is extremely in active.
Run With Pat for SAMH
I have hosted 2 charity 5k events for SAMH called Run with Pat. The main focus of this was my client Pat, who has struggled with mental health from childhood suffering with undiagnosed depression for decades while his brother committed suicide at a young age. Despite all this he has always been pillar of positivity within our community, encouraging all around him. He is the perfect ambassador for this event and was desperate to give back to the organisations working within our communities identifying mental health issues early to stop another person going through the struggles that Pat has faced.
Stefan McCallum - Testimonial
Having recently turned 30 and finding myself getting more unhealthy over the past year I decided it was time for a lifestyle overhaul and reluctantly joined the local gym.
I met Thomas and he was happy to sit down with me and create a comprehensive and realistic fitness plan to work through together to reach my goals.
I have been training with Thomas for over six months and I have witnessed an incredible personal transformation. I am now stronger, healthier and more confident than I’ve ever been. He is a great motivator and his knowledge has been invaluable and educational.
If you are looking for a disciplined, supportive and motivational personal trainer Thomas comes highly recommended.
Gordon Horne
Over 3 years of training Gordon we have gone beyond a PT / Client relationship and have found a friendship that will last a life time. When we started training Gordon had hardly ever touched a weight and had never found enjoyment from training, now I can't keep him out of the gym. He has managed to build his deadlift from 70kg all the way up to 180kg and build his fitness levels up to a point when he could complete a circuit to where he is now running a full 5k.
There has been a complete physical change in Gordon but mostly importantly he has found a confidence that he never knew he had. In 2022 I was lucky enough to attend Gordon's wedding to Tracy and to find out from those in attendance how much of a positive change he has made is inspirational. It doesn't stop there for Gordon either, he is determined to keep improving and building himself up for a lifestyle of health and happiness. One of our main aims not is to complete Tough Mudder and raise money for a charity that is very close to his heart
Gerrard Mooney - Testimonial
Having never been in a gym before knowing the correct exercise regime to achieve my goals was a daunting prospect.
Thomas has been a great PT in supporting my training objectives and I have seen a continual improvement from my sessions which are run in a relaxed yet supportive environment.
Thomas is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (and somehow fun in a masochistic sort of way!). My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights and generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts.
Importantly:
Having never used free weights he ensured that my technique was always correct to avoid injuries.
Explained in detail which group of muscles each exercise was working and why the routine was set up in such a particular way.
He is extremely reliable and punctual, always set up and ready to start training ahead of time, with and exercise routine planned that was always challenging but extremely rewarding.
Thomas is completely focused in helping you achieve your goals and will always push you to get the results you want and I would have no hesitation in recommending Thomas as your personal trainer if you want to achieve your fitness and health goals.
Marco Fallon
Marco is a constant inspiration and has positively challenged my thinking at every stage of our journey together. Despite having Cerebral Palsy he has strived to never let it define him and what's possible. He was told by doctors that it would be easier to live in a wheelchair and this very quote has been the motivation for our work together not only to provide him with the tools to live life to the fullest but help change this prescription around disability.
Through our training together and Marco's hard work he has gone from his wheel hair to becoming the first disabled person to work at Glasgow Airport, travel the world and have a social life which holds has no limitations. This has been translated through our lifestyle training which has saw him:
Deadlift 75kg
Dumbbell press 22kg in each arm
Perform dips and pull-ups
Walk with 20kg + in each hand

Jane Rowantree - Testimonial
I've been training since August last year, I hadn't trained for over 2 years due to surgery on both feet. Thanks to training with Thomas I feel fitter and healthier than I did in my 30s. Highly recommend.
Chris Watson - Testimonial
I started with Thomas a few weeks back, in such a short period of time I'm starting to see and feel a difference. I feel more confident in the gym and not shy to lift heaview weights. He's a great guy and is great at his job, highly recommend.
Kirsty Stronach
Kirsty's 7 month postpartum journey is incredible and is the definition of our lifestyle transformation. She is not only an amazing mum to our daughter Amelia but has been able to bring back her energy, physique and strength while most importantly getting that all important self care time which is so hard to find as a parent.
She has fought through the early struggles of coming to terms with her fitness and strength and been able to focus on recovery for the first 3 months. Once she was back in the groove there was no stopping her as she's quickly developed her strength even beyond where it was pre baby.
Daniella Kidd
Daniella started PT with me because while she had been a ballerina in her teens, she has done almost no consistent exercise since that point. Together we have built up her strength, fitness and mobility to a point where she is loving exercise for the first time and finding every day life easier and easier.
Since we began training she has given 100% effort no matter if she was tired or even just having a bad day. She has managed to build up her muscle mass % while bringing down her body fat % drastically since we began. She has routinely completed fitness test circuits and has halved the time it took to complete them while also building up her deadlift from 40kg all the way to 70kg
She is taking a step further in 2022 and 2023 to run 10k to raise money for charity.

Pat Keenan
At 65 Pat has smashed all expectations and is a constant inspiration to those around him. He brightens up the gym just with his presence, motivating all around him as well as just giving everyone someone to chat too.
Pat wanted to turn his life around, for years he's been strong but finding himself unfit and struggling to complete day to day tasks. His training has focused on cutting his body fat%, building his fitness and develping his mobility.
Together we have managed to:
Cut his body fat by 10%
Build his fitness from struggling to do 3 minutes on the stairmaster to completeing 15 mins after every workout
Being able to run pain free again after years of struggling with sciatica
Improving his quality of life where he can move freely, run for the bus and just be happier and healthier

Angela McCutcheon - Testimonial
I've been doing personal trainning with Thomas for the last few months. He is a highly motivated instructor and knows how to work you hard but still make it enjoyable. I have noticed a difference in my fitness and body shape since doing these sessions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Thomas to anyone who needs that extra push.
Kelly Gillespie
Kelly's lifestyle transformation was all about getting out of her comfort zone. She had never properly lifted weights before and had no drive to get into the gym or expectation that she would enjoy it.
As always exercise provides more than just a change in physique, she managed to break down barriers she thought impossible and find a new passion along the way. So far she has:
Taken her deadlift from 50kg - 100kg
Taken her squat from 30kg - 75kg
Shown a 250% increase across her fitness tests
