Client Reviews
Hilary (CoachUp client)
Coach Tom was amazing. My first session boxing and strength training with him fabulous. We started with activating hip flexers and mobility and then got right to work learning stance, punches, and technique. He was super friendly, very organized, and I got in a great workout. I would highly recommend his services.
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Truly an amazing and knowledgeable coach. In only my first session with Tom I learned so much and he was fun to be around. It’s hard finding a good coach out there who really knows what they are doing, but Tom was sincerely awesome. I highly recommend
Marcel (CoachUp client)
My first session with Coach Tom was exactly what I was looking for. After a brief discovery discussion, we came up with the first part of our customized training plan that encompassed diet, posture/form, stretching, strength/conditioning and boxing training. We then moved on to the actual personal training and immediately I knew that I was going to benefit a lot from Coach Tom’s consultative and multi-dimensional style of coaching, his knowledge of the nuances of boxing technique, as well as his accuracy in establishing just the right level of intensity for our workout. Coach Tom is particularly good at isolating specific areas of focus so you can have a targeted training designed to improve on particular aspects of your fitness. He is an awesome coach - clearly knowledgeable, charismatic and fun. I am planning on working with Coach Tom for the foreseeable future and I highly recommend him to people of all ages and levels of fitness.

Amazing coach, really knows what he is doing. Takes good care to keep your individual goals and moods the workout around them. Highly recommend!
Matt (CoachUp client)
Tom was great. He was communicative all the way up through our meeting, with a confirmation text, and when I had trouble getting into the venue he was there to respond and help me out as well. Really nice guy who knows his stuff - and he did an excellent job working through the most basic fundamentals all the way up to some more advanced advice.
And if there were things I was having trouble grasping or doing, he showed me modified approaches to build confidence. He also asked a lot of questions about which other sports I played/ was familiar with, and had some excellent analogies to help me grasp certain body movements and principles.
Overall great coach, nice guy, would definitely consider booking again and would highly recommend.
Bentley (CoachUp client)

Excellent Coach!
As a student looking to learn boxing, I can tell you that after one session with Coach Tom, it is clear that he is an individual with high intelligence. He used great sport analogies to help me with my boxing form; he was very enthusiastic from the start and I had a great time. I just booked four more sessions because Coach Tom was that good! Looking forward to my next session!

Amazing PT that knows how much to push you.
Adam (CoachUp client)
Tom was amazing. The session went perfect. He had a great attitude and really helped change my game.
Xavier (CoachUp client)
I started to work with Tom in January this year. We were mostly focusing on boxing Technics. He really knows boxing but most important he knows how to teach to you.
He spends time trying to find the best way to teach you, using your sport background for example or referring to something you know. He is then able to customize the training and work with you on specifics.
I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone, he was elected best boxing coach on coachup.com and there are reasons for that.
Dmitry (CoachUp client)
Tom is a hell of a coach. He forces me to get out of my safe zone to become a better fighter and a better athlete. He's not the one who would babysit you or would do whatever it takes to get a nice impression. He's focused on me reaching my goals and that what matters. It takes me about an hour to get to the gym where he trains people, but there's no chance I switch him for anybody else. Because now I feel like my goals are reachable and I can do things I wouldn't even think I can do.
Matthew (CoachUp client)
I had an excellent first session with Tom. He was incredibly enthusiastic, highly motivating and made sure he found the best way to communicate with me about how to improve my stance / technique. I highly recommend him and will definitely be looking to train with him more.
Zachary (CoachUp client)
I have trained with Tom on and off beginning with my first bout at a charity boxing event. After the event I have grown to enjoy boxing and the discipline required to participate in the sport. Tom has been a great coach and helps me learn new things every day. I am excited to get back in the ring and use the skills he continues to teach me.
Jordan (CoachUp client)
Tom is an awesome coach! My sessions just keep getting better and better! I'm learning a lot and always improving my skills and fundamentals. He's a great guy, and a great trainer -- I couldn't recommend him any higher!
Jeremy (CoachUp client)
Coach Tom is absolutely great. On my first session he spent some time getting to know me, my body and what I wanted out of the boxing/working out sessions. He then customized a plan for me and we got right into it. Was super fun and an absolutely great work out. I'm doing it weekly now and couldn't be happier.
NATALIYA KOVALCHUK (Testimonial)
You have helped me tremendously in these three month: I have progressed from constant sacral pain to no pain due to your well-though-of exercise regimen. I really enjoyed boxing sessions with you as well, and I am very grateful for that. You are a great trainer, and I am lucky to have been trained by you.
