Thanks Shane :) hope will see you in the future :)

I have had personal training before at gyms and been totally unimpressed but these guys changed my mind about personal training. Tom and team are so knolwegable and professional with a focus on making training fun. I tried them to help rehab an injury and shortly after signed a long term contract. If you are looking for exceptional training bespoke to your needs then give Tom and the team a call! More...

I absolutely loved each of my training sessions with Tom. He makes exercising fun and also interesting. He also explains what we are doing and why. I have learned a lot, not only about getting in shape, but also how the different muscles connect and work. Each session is an hour long, including warm-up and stretch. He is a true professional in his training and his approach to physical fitness. More...

The group Muaythai kick boxing is great. The trainers are a lot of fun, and the sessions really push you at your own individual ability. I've reccomended this class to a few of my friends and they love it. Its fitness but it's fun, and it makes you feel great! More...

Pro Tom is Excellent and without a doubt deserves 10/10!! I was unsure at first because I had trained with other trainers before and it didn’t go so well but I found Tom and he is incredible! I have now been training with Tom for over two years and it’s the best money I have spent. He is really knowledgeable about what he is doing and pushes you to your highest possible potential. He sets out a nutritional plan, gym plan and stretch plan as part of the package. There is always time to train so when Tom isn’t available he has other trainers who are to the highest quality also! If you want a personal trainer then I highly recommend Pro Tom! :) More...

It is such a pleasure to train with Protom fitness and 4 core. The professionalism and work ethic is second to none. Each client is treated as an individual with what ever goals they want to achieve. The enthusiasm and genuine passion for fitness that Tom and his other trainer show is outstanding. I love training individually or at the group sessions there is always a upbeat atmosphere. You can ask Tom anything about the human body and he will probably know the answer. He is very knowledgeable. He will push you to meet you goals. He has questionable music taste but he knows his stuff.I have been training with Tom for 2 years now and he really cares about people and wants them to achieve their full potential. Whatever that might be strength training, kicking boxing, fat loss or just general keeping fit he will keep you on the straight and narrow. :) More...

Best trainer I’ve had. After coming back from LA I needed a trainer who knew how to teach boxing..Tom has taught me so much! I also like how he’s so focused on doing each excercise correctly. You’ll get one hell of a workout with Tom and it’s good to know you won’t leave with an injury. More...

Excellent PT and kickboxing with Pro Tom Fitness
I have been training with Tom for around 1 year now, with a mix of kickboxing lessons, group PT and strength training PT. He is highly knowledgeable, with a focus on core and functional strength and proper form along with high calorie burning and strength building, utilising either HIIT, martial arts exercises and traditional strength exercises as well as a range of other techniques you won't find in a 'normal gym' (medicine ball training for example). I found Tom's workouts unique and they always kept me motivated. He genuinely cares about his clients and is very focused on proper form so a great person to see if you have ever had an injury. Highly recommend Tom at Pro Tom Fitness. More...

I've been working with Tom for 4 years and I started when I was 14. Great experience and great fitness sessions carefully designed to my age, needs, and squash.

And how many more years :) you helped me to design and come up with so many new excises and moves :) here is the proof of your hard work and being a Squash champion :) https://www.instagram.com/protom_fitness/

If you are searching for personal training you must try 4 Core Training. I booked a block of home PT sessions and couldn't have found Tom more professional, helpful and passionate about me achieving my goals. I struggled a little with work commitments and wasn't the easiest client to fix timings with but Tom recognised this and would kindly make suggestions to sure I had a time which worked for me. The sessions were fantastic - varied and exciting which is really important if you don't like the same workout every time (I've had trainers like these in the past and it gets boring quickly). 4 Core Fitness also offers multiple locations to train at making things very flexible and different to other companies. Overall a fantastic experience and I will be going back for more training sessions in the near future. A well deserved 5 stars! More...

I have had such a great experience with Tom. I would recommend him to anyone. He doesn't only care about your fitness but your body as a whole, he plans every session and exercise to your individual body. He would much rather you took your time and ensured you completed the exercise correctly and safely. He will help you get the results you are looking for. I can't thanks him enough for what he has done for me! He takes pride in what he does and how he helps people which is what makes him the perfect personal trainer. More...

I can honestly say that Tom is the best PT I have trained with. I first came across Tom because a colleague won 2 free sessions with Tom in a raffle and gave them to me. I did the 2 sessions and then signed up for 2 sessions a week for 3 months, which led up to and finished after my wedding. I have enjoyed every minute of the sessions and no two sessions were the same. Tom focuses on technique and I learnt how badly I was doing some exercises. Tom really cares about your body and really helped me through some back and neck issues I was having. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone. Tom gets results and I had many comments leading up to my wedding at how in shape I looked. I am really going to miss the sessions. More...

I've been training with Dora from ProTom Fitness now for several months as part of my recovery from my 5th major knee surgery which as I'm sure you can imagine doesn't make getting fit particularly easy.

I never thought I'd enjoy personal training as I've always hated the gym however despite having been signed off on my recovery by my surgeon/physio I've continued with my PT sessions.

I decided to book up PT sessions with Tom after committing to a 26 mile charity hike. I had been regaining fitness after major surgery when I sprained my ankle (grade 3) requiring surgery so when able, decided it was time to seek professional support to get back into the swing of things. In our first session Tom assessed my strengths and weaknesses and quickly identified some issues created over the previous year while I’d been unable to walk, we both agreed to move forward with a plan which was intended to help bring the balance back, and fast forward 3 months I have seen great improvement in my overall fitness, a decrease in muscle fatigue and I’m up to 8 mile in my hike training, pretty significant when you consider in December I could barely walk for 20 minutes without being in agony. Most of all Tom has seen me through the journey so far with just the right balance between compassion and motivation. More...

I've been training with Tom now for four months and cannot recommend ProTom fitness more highly. A dizzying combination of under confidence, a difficult knee issue and trying personal circumstances, conspired to make me a challenging client. Four months later, with the help of Tom's expertise and watchful eye, I have gained much needed self esteem, been discharged from my physiotherapy department (after four years of going around in circles) and have developed physical and emotional resilience that comes from regular exercise. The icing on the cake is that I can now fit into dresses which I had long given up on and am the slimmest I've been in over a year! Thanks Tom and the ProTom trainers, it's been worth every penny.

I was recommended ProTom Fitness by a friend who had been taking their kickboxing classes. I had never had any type of personal training before, but I had been suffering from back problems for over a year and I was looking for exercise that was a) stimulating and challenging b) kind to my back c) not cycling. Tom’s training philosophy is based on looking at the body holistically, and matching exercises to real life movement. He emphasises technique, important when trying to avoid injury. Whilst nervous at first I soon grew more confident as I never finished a session with any back pain. After the initial sessions we spent a few weeks preparing for a ski trip. He has some excellent ski workouts which I highly recommend! 5 months later and I still see him every week. Tom puts a lot of thought into tailoring each session to that day’s goal which means no session is the same and you rarely do the same exercise twice. He also gives you excellent fitness plans to take away and gives great nutritional advice. I feel fitter than I have in years! More...

I have been attending kickboxing and circuits classes at ProTom Fitness for the past 2 years, and in that time my stamina, flexibility and functional strength, not to mention my kickboxing skills, have improved significantly. This is thanks to the expert tutelage of Tom Lakos and Dom Farrell. As someone who has been training for almost 25 years, I appreciate when I am being instructed by experienced, knowledgeable trainers, who are passionate about their profession, and helping others to improve. In a fitness market full of gimmicks and fads, ProTom stick to modern health and fitness principles that work. Unlike many other ‘trainers’ out there, they also pay very close attention to your form and technique, and are very proactive in correcting errors. This critique means less risk of injury and quicker results. I would recommend ProTom Fitness to anyone, at any level, who are looking to improve and maintain their fitness. More...

I first heard about ProTom Fitness when attending a talk given by Bristol based adventure racer Nick Gracie and was intrigued to hear Nick say that attending Tom's classes had helped his running and to be injury free. As someone keen to improve their running but who had been struggling with injuries I decided to give the classes a go. I've now been going for nearly a year now and it's been great. The classes are hard but well pitched and varied; Tom and the other instructors are fair and encouraging, helping you get the best from yourself in every class. I've enjoyed injury free running for months now (including no lower back pain), and put a lot of this down to the improvement in my core fitness and strengthening that I've been doing by going regularly to the classes. Why don't you give it a go?! More...

I have been training with Tom and Ildi on a weekly and fortnightly basis since July (3 months now). Through their excellent 1hr one-to-one sessions which focus on a full-body core workout (a mixture of HIIT and strength exercises), online excercises to do at home and advice on nutrition, I have seen huge improvements in my weight and fitness. When I started my first session in July, I weighed 100kg.

Through some discipline in the kitchen (nothing drastic - mainly cutting down on sugar and alcohol and increasing the veg) and trying to do 2 cardio sessions (a 30min jog or cycle to work) plus two core strength sessions per week (one with ProTom, one at home with bodyweight or medicine ball), I have seen my weight plummet to 91.5kg, a loss of 8.5kg or 1st 4lb in 13 weeks!

I now fit in many of my older clothes and friends, colleagues and family have all commented that I look a lot slimmer and healthier. I have it all to thank to Tom and Ildi. This might not be the cheapest option out there, but you get what you pay for, and ProTom has been worth every pound. More...

After spending a personal training session with Tom (ProTom Fitness) I walked away with an incredible feeling in every inch of my body and a better understanding of my body's strengths and weaknesses.
Tom has a brilliant core philosophy and excellent understanding of how the body should move. I am currently training for a marathon event and we went through some extremely useful core exercises, which are drastically overlooked in the health industry and a key aspect of maintaining structural integrity - especially for runners.
As a massage therapist myself, with a good knowledge of anatomy and physiology, I can highly recommend Tom for re-establishing a reinvigorating connection between you and your body and to help you get to where you want to be.
