After losing my confidence to exercise after having my baby, Tom really gave me the boost I needed to get back into it. He is amazing at getting you to push yourself, supportive and encouraging. Tom makes the sessions varied, interesting and fun and explains the science behind what you are doing too. Not only all that but he is a thoroughly funny and nice guy, I would recommend him to anybody of all fitness levels.
I have been working with Pinnacle for about a year now and in that time I have seen such a significant improvement in my fitness, stamina and strength. My job is non stop and I was always struggling for energy throughout the day, but my sessions with Tom have completely changed that.
My main highlight has been squatting 40kg in my first session to now squatting 120kg for 3 reps! In gives me such a great feeling!
Tom is friendly, approachable and extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his field which means that it helps you to stay motivated when the going gets tough! I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life!
Both myself and my partner have been working with Pinnacle Training for 3 months so far. Both of us are ~50 years old and my parter lost his confidence (and fitness) following a life changing accident. Tom and the team have transformed our lives and given my partner back his confidence around fitness. Our body shapes have changed and we have both lost weight. We steered away from the aggressive, shouty and pushy personal trainers as it would not have helped either of us to achieve our goals. Instead we wanted someone to work with us both around our weaknesses. The transformation has been staggering. We both feel and look fitter and healthier and although tough the training delivered by Pinnacle Training is absolutely aligned to both our needs and our growing confidence and fitness.
Tom has been great to work with. He was very patient and encouraged me all the way, helping me to reach my goals. I enjoyed every session as they were different every time and he really pushed me even when I wanted to give up. Would happily train with him again.
I’ve been training with Tom since the start of Pinnacle training and during that time Tom has supported me through my gym training, running, diet and overall health and well being. From my first consultation I have noticed myself becoming stronger, fitter, faster and as a side benefit looking so much better come beach season!!!
Tom has tailored my diet to coincide with my long working hours and shown me how at the end of a long working day I can still get a quick workout in instead of going home, vegging out in front of the TV, eating sugar and feeling like crap for the rest of the week.

Training with Tom has been a complete lifestyle change and I no longer crave the unhealthy foods I use to on a daily basis. I have huge amounts of energy and mental focus thanks to Tom’s workout plans that not only train the body, but also the mind, showing me that so much of what he does is not just about muscle strength, but also mental strength.
My next goals are to crack 5K in sub 21 minutes and join the 1000lb club. Although this is a huge challenge, with Tom’s help and guidance I will smash these targets and be looking for new goals for summer 2016.
In the four months I have been training with Pinnacle, I am fitter, stronger and leaner. My body fat has reduced by a third and I can lift weights I would never have attempted before.
Tom (my trainer with pinnacle) pushes me hard but always explains why the exercises are important and how to achieve the best technique. I now feel confident undertaking my wide-ranging programme on my own between training sessions.
Tom’s style is friendly and approachable and he makes training fun.
Amazing PT, I look forward to the gym now and smashing my PB’s
I’d attempted to follow a personal training programme twice before starting with Tom and both times it had petered out after a few months. Tom is the first person that has somehow motivated me to continue with a programme for well over a year now. It’s hard to say exactly why this is but a friendly, flexible approach combined with enjoyable and varied sessions certainly helps (as does the occasional and entirely unexpectedmotivational gift!). Tom is personable and down to earth and tailors to the sessions to suit each client wherever possible whether that be through exercises,location or music. Perhaps most importantly I’ve seen my best results since training with Tom motivating me to continue the programme and reach my peak.
Just had my first meeting with Tom and I have to say it was an eye opener. I used personal trainers before when I have joined new gyms in the past, but I learned more in one introduction session with Tom than I did with previous trainers. Tom has a great philosophy with his coaching and that is training to be his clients to feeling healthy and feeling good over focusing on the aesthetics. I you want a coach whose aim is to give his clients the information and confidence to reach the goals and go on to live healthier and have more confidence in their own abilities, then Tom is the coach for you.
I started working with Pinnacle at the start of 2015 never doing any sort of fitness before in my life except the occasional run. I had massive back issues which I have suffered with for over 10 years and because of this I was unable to do the simplest task, for example lifting my knee in the air!
My trainer Tom started me at the bottom of every exercise to make sure I had a firm understanding of every movement! I won’t lie at the start things were painful but I felt everything was leading to a greater purpose.
After working with Tom for 6 months, 3 times a week I saw fantastic results. My back issues were all cleared up and was feeling stronger and fitter than ever.
Tom was a great PT and I only wish I could have spent more time with him as he really spends time focusing on every detail and made me feel very comfortable in a new environment.
To finish I would like to thank Pinnacle for all the help and progression I made during 2015.
I worked with Pinnacle for over 6 months. I spent this time wanting to lose weight and improve my boxing technique.
Through my time training with Pinnacle I lost over 2 stone and became very confident with the gloves on. I was fitter, faster and stronger in every way. I cannot thank Pinnacle enough for helping me teaching me so much in a short amount of time!
I have been training with Pinnacle for nearly 2 years now and could not be happier with what I have achieved throughout my time with them. I haven’t just benefited from the advice in the gym but his narrational advice has enabled me to make changes to my diet to maximise my performance in the gym.
Tom has given me the encouragement throughout my training sessions to make significant changes to me lifestyle in order to improve my health and to reach my goals. I find him extremely knowledgable and I would recommend him to anyone considering taking up PT in the future.
I have been working with Pinnacle for over 2 years now and within that time I have achieved much more then I could ever imagine.
When I started training I had one lung inactive meaning everyday struggles were hard for me. Over the first year my lung became 80% active and I have never felt better.
Through the strength training programme I did with Pinnacle I have lifted weight I could never imagine and through the coaching offered I have always felt safe and picked up the techniques quickly.
Everyday tasks are easy for me now and the training has had great impact on my work productivity due to the fact I have more energy day in day out!
Having spent time at home doing free weights with little results, I decided look for alternative methods and booked in some personal training sessions with Pinnacle
Tom (head trainer) has been excellent to work with and I have seen some amazing changes to my overall health, fitness and body. From day one Tom explained exactly why we were doing each exercise, what the benefits of them were and what they were doing to my body.
Tom explained each move in a clear and concise manner offering practical demonstrations and advice when I couldn’t get the hang of a certain move, this came in very handy especially for the RDL’s!!!
Tom was also on hand to offer excellent dietary advice, making me keep a food diary, which we then sat down and examined to see where I could make improvements. Once again Tom demonstrated his excellent knowledge in explaining why I should cut back and increase certain foods. And the benefits these actions would have.
Tom has been a pleasure to work with, friendly chatty and always pushing me to gain better results but always fully aware of when I really had had too much. I was anxious about using a personal trainer but Tom quickly stopped any anxiety I had and made going to the gym a pleasure.
I have nothing but the highest of praises and recommendations for using Pinnacle Training and working with Tom. I started with little gym experience and recurring injury issues to now being able to manage myself better physically, but also mentally.
One of the greatest things about working with Tom, is the diverseness of his abilities as a PT – as an amateur track sprinter, my requirements are slightly different compared to the usual clients Tom works with, but everything was tailored specific to me and my requirements and the result was the fastest time I’ve ran the 100m in 2 years.
Working with Pinnacle I gained 8kg of muscles mass in 6 months. Pinnacle thought me that there are no short cuts when it comes to achieving my goals.
I have always struggled with adding weight but I was always working in small movements. Tom (head trainer) taught me that working in higher loads and bigger movements got the right muscles working and I started to see the big results.
Not only aesthetically but also how I felt every day made a huge difference to my daily life.
Tom is extremely professional and explained everything very well and made every exercise comfortable, yet pushed me to limits I never knew I could reach.
I have been working with Tom for nearly two years now and it is funny to look back on just how far I have dome under his support and guidance.
When I started I could barely lift a 20kg kettlebell and now I am doing kettlebell swings at 20kg with confidence. Tom has encouraged me to think about my fitness,strength,diet and from this I have seen big changes in all three areas, but these have happened over time… don’t expect any quick fixes.
Pinnacle constantly evaluates my goals and set new ones to ensure I stay focused and suitably challenged. I have really enjoyed working with him and even on nights when I’ve had a long at work and would really rather not work out, I’ve always left my sessions feeling energised and with a smile on my face.
Tom is a professional and friendly guy, and I would throughly recommend his services to other individuals looking for a personal trainer.
I really enjoyed working with Tom. He got to grips with what motivated me very quickly, lots of distraction so I didn’t notice I was exercising! I was worried about how I would spend an hour with a virtual stranger and whether it might be a bit awkward but Tom is very good at building rapport so that time flew by. Instead of being an hour I felt I could afford to spend away from my desk, I looked forward to spending an hour doing something just for me.
Tom at Pinnacle is an excellent trainer, incredibly knowledgeable on fitness, and helped me achieve fitness/strength/knowledge improvements well beyond my highest expectations
