Coaching that actually pays attention.
Private 1-on-1 training in a Pittsburgh studio, or online from wherever you are. Twelve years of helping people lose weight, get stronger, and stay with it.
In person in the studio, or online from wherever you are. Custom programming and nutrition coaching sit inside both, so you are not picking from a menu of add-ons.
Coaching in a private studio where the whole hour belongs to you. Form watched rep by rep, and the load adjusted the moment it needs to be.
For people happy to train on their own who want the programming, the nutrition targets and the weekly accountability handled by someone who knows what they are doing.
Nobody hands you off to whoever happens to be free. The same coach does your assessment, writes your program and runs every session, which is really the whole point of training privately.
Sessions are booked as you need them, and the programming and nutrition side comes with the coaching rather than as a list of upsells. Tom will talk you through the options on the consultation, which costs nothing either way.
A private floor with a rack, barbell, plates, dumbbells and kettlebells. No waiting for equipment and no audience.
The programming and the accountability, handled from wherever you are, for people happy to train on their own.
* No contract applies to in-studio training. Online coaching runs on a six-month commitment, for the reasons set out on that page.
A conversation about your goal, your history and your week. No charge, no pressure.
A screen of how you actually move, so the program fits your body instead of a template.
Written for your days, your equipment and your goal, with a clear progression.
Sessions in the studio or at your place, adjusted as you get stronger.
The best project you will ever work on is you.
Training that protects the muscle you already have while the weight comes off, with eating habits that survive a normal week.
Barbell and dumbbell work programmed to progress, so the number on the bar actually moves.
A shoulder, knee or back that complains does not mean stopping. It means loading it thoughtfully instead of avoiding it.
For people who used to train, stopped, and want a sensible way back in without starting from zero or getting hurt.
The thinking behind the programming does not change. What changes is how much of it happens with Tom standing next to you.
Training earns the result and eating decides whether you keep it. The nutrition side is coaching rather than a printed meal plan you abandon in week two, and it comes with both training options.
No, and most people who get in touch are not. Plenty are starting over, coming back from an injury, or have never worked with a coach before. The first session is an assessment rather than a test, and the first program is built for the body you have right now.
In a private studio in the Pittsburgh area. It is a real gym floor with a rack, a barbell, plates, dumbbells and kettlebells, and there is no crowd to work around. You get the exact address when you book.
After an assessment you get a custom workout plan built around your conditioning and the equipment you can reach, plus a written breakdown of your nutrition targets. Everything lives in one shared spreadsheet where you log your workouts and your daily intake, and you check in weekly by phone, email or video call. The programming and the targets get adjusted as you progress. Online coaching runs on a six-month commitment.
Plenty of clients train once a week with Tom and handle the rest of the week on their own program. Twice a week moves faster. The honest answer is that the right frequency is the one you will actually keep, and that is worth talking through on the consultation.
A movement screen, a conversation about your history and your goal, and enough training to get a feel for how you move. You leave knowing what the plan is and why.
Yes, as coaching rather than a rigid meal plan. The work is habits, protein, portions and building meals you will actually cook again. There are no supplements to buy.
In-studio sessions are priced per hour, with no membership and nothing to sign. Online coaching is priced separately and runs on a six-month commitment. Tom will walk you through both on the consultation, which is free either way.
The studio is in the Pittsburgh area and draws people from these communities. Online coaching works from anywhere.
The first step is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Phone, email or video call, whichever you prefer. You talk through your goal, your schedule and anything your body is currently unhappy about, and then you decide.
