Tom was very quick to respond in answer to my request for rehabilitation advice for strengthening a dislocated knee. I have had one session with him and I believe his knowledge and skills will help me stay fit in so many different ways well into my 70s. I am looking forward to the next session. More...

Wonderful response time and a true professional.

Tom is an exceptional. He is not only a trainer. He is a master of health mind and spirit. Ive never experienced this type of training before in all my years in the fitness industry. His programe does not only work on the physical hurdles it works on conditioning the mind and internal organs. He is an incredible motivator and i loves how there is the element of holisitc in there. It is challenging and be prepared to work hard but the benefits are incomparible to anything i have experienced. Highly Highly recommended More...

I am an ex peforming athlete, my wife is not. We have been training with Tom for the past 4 years. This is the most complete, effective and superb programe out there. Tom brings his decades of knowledge and experience professionalism, patience and motivation to every class. He is a world class international teacher and its not hard to see why. My wife and myself are fitter, stronger and more balanced than most people half our age. Its an incredible programe, the perfect balance of resistance excercise and holistic wellness. We cant thank you enough Tom, your programe has changed our lives. This goes beyond personal training. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. More...

I grew up in Bali only surfing as my sport and nothing else. I started working out occasionally with Tommy at a young age but it wasn't until i had kids a started and office job (no surfing) did i really learn the full benefits. When we started 2-3 days a week i noticed all my surfing injuries disappear as my core strengthened this was a god send.
It didn't end there I ended up getting into a high stress scenario after my dad passed away and couldn't clear the clutter from my mind and was going down a pretty unhealthy path when i ran into Tommy after about a year not training with him. It's like he saw how much i needed his help and we agreed to start an intensive 5 day a week every morning training and this is when i learnt so much more than just physical training. The way he is able to increase your energy from zero to 100 in a breathing class or to stabilise your thought patterns from 1000 to calm during a breathing meditation class really is something you won't find anywhere else. I'm a huge fan and will take the information i learned with me throughout my life. I can definitely say it's changed my life for the better in so many ways. Try it out and you won't be dissapointed.

I was cursed with injury after injury after being very active and playing a lot of sports. Ive had three children and became so unfit after letting myself go and combined with my injuries, i was not in a good place. I tried out a few different gyms, but i find the trainers only scratch the surface of what they should know and they have a one size fits all approach. They know how to make you bulky, and personally speaking i cant stand that look. Plus a gym environment is so uninspiring.. I tried a few pt but i was encountering the same scenario as in the gyms. I then tried Tom after coming highly recommended from a freind and i have not looked back. He is so full of experience and knowledge and has tremendous skill. Patient, pushes you but knows when to stop, fantastic motivator and a very insightful and intelligent man. Knew of my injuries before i could even tell him in detail. His sessions are physically very challenging but he works you up gradually. He is so refreshigly different from that stereotypical pt. I did not even know that style of training even existed. His training does not only get you fit on the outside , it gets you fit on the inside with his holistic breathing. Its fully immersive. Im fit, my injuries are healing, im emotionally and mentally happy, light , focussed and free and fresh. Its INCREDIBLE*************** More...

First time with a personal trainer for myself, really enjoyed my first session looking forward to more.

24 May 2023

Quick response sounded very enthusiastic and interested in helping achieve what the best outcome for my daughter would be felt he was interested in working and helping my daughter with her situation

24 May 2023

I have been a corporate executive for most of my life. I was completely burnt out to the degree where it was affecting my home life. I couldnt sleep, I suffered from severe anxiety, my health suffered greatly, I became extremely unfit. I was spiralling out of control and I had no idea how to get my life back. I tried numerous people, personal trainers, life coaches, yoga...nothing was working. Tom came recommended from a colleague. I researched him and became familiar with his work. He has an extremely good reputation within the corporate world and high profile people. This man exceeds his reputation. He has completely turned my life around. I have gained control of my corporate and personal life. I am fit as a fiddle, lost all the weight, im lean, strong and healthy. I have learnt ways of how to deal with the anxiety's associated with my job and i will never fall down again thanks to Toms training. He is extremely professed in his skills and training. He delivers so much, very professional, very experienced, skilled and a genuinely nice person who prioritises your health and fitness. He is also extremely humble given his achievements and client lists. If you want to gain control of your life and reap the ongoing benefits of being fit, strong and healthy physically and mentally, you cannot go past this man. I would confidently say that you will not find his style of training anywhere in the world. He is an essential. Thank you Tom so very much.

Working with Tom has been quite an experience from the start. His approach is like no other personal trainer you will ever meet. Although I’m only 3 sessions in, I’ve already noticed an amazing difference in my mental and physical wellbeing. Not only am I getting stronger and fitter, but my energy levels have increased significantly. Through intense training sessions including various breathing techniques, Toms holistic approach is truely lifechanging. Tom you are a legend, please don’t go anywhere anytime soon! More...

24 May 2023

I had my first session with Tom yesterday and can already appreciate the path that he has set out for my training. Im recovering from an injury that required surgery, and have spent a lot of time having negative expectations of my body - one session with Tom and i am already starting to change how i think and feel about my body, and what its capable of. Very much looking forward to continuing to learn, recovery and grow with Toms program. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking to improve not just their bodies, but their minds and attitudes as well. More...

24 May 2023

Tom has an amazing way of making you relax while actually working muscles and getting a workout. He focuses on mind and body and is really helping me learn to look after my mindful self whilst working on my physical self as well. Thanks Tom.

24 May 2023

Tom is very knowledgeable and caring.
I am already feeling better and have more energy.
Thanks Kathy.

Amazing experience. Tom is a professional with excellent knowledge of the mind and body. I have had many trainers before but Tom offers a unique holistic approach to training.

24 May 2023

Tom is an outstanding trainer!

24 May 2023

Of all trainers I could have found, It feels like kismet that I found Tom. He has outstanding knowledge and experience, he listens, understands and adjusts my training holistically, body and mind, ascertaining exactly what I need each time. He has helped me through a very difficult health condition and I am truly in awe of what a wonderful soul he is. Many thanks. More...

24 May 2023

I am truly so grateful for having Tom in my life, as my trainer and motivator. In my 56 years I have never experienced a programe, and a service like Tom provides. I was suffering all the effects of COVID and lockdown, depression, weight gain, anxiety, lack of motivation, stress and generally unfit and sick. I sourced out Tom and read his profile and website and I knew he could help me. It has been a journey, a hard one to get back on top, Toms motivation, skillset, his knowledge led me to where I am now. He knows his stuff big time, he knows when to push, how to push and when to stop. His training is a balance between high resistance body weight exercise and breathing methods which work on your mental wellness, health and state of mind. Best of both worlds and an essential. He is highly sought after internationally and has been in the game for a very long time. I can't recommend this man enough, he has such an uplifting,calm energy too and you feel you can trust him to turn your life around. He is the antidote to the covid aftermath, the antidote to any health fitness or mental health issue you could have. Highly Highly recommended. More...

24 May 2023

Incredible Corporate mental health and wellness programme!! Tom, from Body to Breath came highly recommended, His services and wealth of knowledge and experience, exceeded his reputation and our expectations. We are a large law firm. Tom came in as a true professional, took control and literally gave life back to a bunch of over worked, stressed, exhausted lawyers. A lot of us were suffering from mental health issues. The results have been nothing short than phenomenal. The impact he is having on us as a team and individually, both from a professional and personal life perspective, has just been overwhelming. If you want a well working, motivated, healthy, strong and focussed team, Tom is the professional. More...

24 May 2023

Tom's work is amazing, I have been training with him for over 6 months now and the impact on my health both physically and mentally has been incredibly beneficial. Tom doesn't just worry about the time with you whilst you train but also the impact on your day and life as a whole More...

24 May 2023

Absolutely Incredible 3 hour corporate wellness workshop. We have been a client of Body to Breath for the past 10 months. We have weekly health and mental well being sessions for all our staff and executive board members in our firm, and they have been such a tremendous feature and necessity in the day and age we work in . These sessions should be made a mandatory addition to all firm and company sectors. The health and well being of all members and staff should be made a priority. Happy, Healthy, focussed staff is conducive to a well working and successful company. Less stress, Less anxiety, absenteeism down and the energy in the workplace, makes it so enjoyable to come and stay at work. It has also had an incredible impact on the personal lives of the staff. Thank you so much Tom for our weekly experience, the amazing workshop with top results. I just cannot that you enough for the ultimate workplace turn around. We are all looking forward to next week.... William More...

My fitness, flexibility and strength levels are at a level i thought i would not be able to gain. I have abundent amount of energy. I am a happy man. Tom works on you mentally, internally and externally. I am 63 now. I wish I had him when i was playing. Any league, club or professional athelte should be training with this guy.

I am a registered counsellor for young people and often deal with high stress clients. My awesome boss has our team of psychs and counsellors on an 8 week program with Tom. Only 3 sessions in and I’m really starting to feel a difference and have more confidence in managing my self-care and client load. Couldn’t recommend Tom’s holistic approach to wellness enough - he does absolutely great work. More...

24 May 2023

I have been doing breathing and energy cultivation exercises for the last twenty years and none of them compare to the depth and knowledge delivered by Mr Thomas Hija. The results were clear, fast and effective and it is my hope that others may benefit from this unique, comprehensive and holistic system that combines Eastern and Western modes of personal health development. I would highly recommend anyone who is practicing internal arts and cultivating their mind-body connection to take part in the Body to Breath experience. More...

24 May 2023

Being in the healthfield as a naturopath and also an acomplished martial artist, I have been exposed to many forms of meditation and breath training. There is no method better than Thomas Hija's body to breath. From soft depths to explosive energy Thomas will take you on a journey through your breath. More...

I run a busy sole practitioner acupuncture clinic I have 3 rooms running for 10hrs a day, the techniques that I have learned from Tommy enable me to treat the last client with the same energy and clarity as the first. Keeping my Zen on all day. Thanks Tommy for your wisdom.

His program has changed my life around, in every aspect, emotionally, physically and mentally. I couldn't recommend him or his services high enough. Thank you so much Tom.

24 May 2023

My only regret is that I did not meet Tom earlier in my life. He is an outstanding, incredibly talented and intuitive trainer and person. His training is complete, and I would go as far as to say unprecedented. This man is just incredible. More...

24 May 2023

I highly recommend Tom's tailor-made sessions to anyone who needs to get back on track emotionally or physically. I was going through grief and separation trauma resulting in irregular sleeping patterns, weight loss, and overall physical weakness. In only a few sessions, I felt energized and mentally stable with a great sleep at night.
Thank you Tom, for all your guidance towards my healthy and happy self.

I found Tom to be genuinely caring about my success in maintaining my health

24 May 2023

I have had the most incredible fitness and wellness journey with Tom from Body to Breath. I have a relatively stressful corporate career and basically I was burnt out. Tom's programme has rescued my mental wellness and I feel fully recharged and he educated to know how to maintain this. I am also a very physical person and have a lot of injuries from sport, which prevented me from exercise. Since training with Tom, I realise I have been exercising the wrong way all my life. He and is programme are incredible! I am fully rehabilitated, never been fitter or stronger, both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who wants a better life and state of being. More...

24 May 2023

Tom's professionalism, experience and knowledge have surpassed all my expectations. He has become a permanent fixture in my life and also the lives of my employees and I hope it stays this way for as long as possible. I cannot speak highly enough of what Tom has done for me physically and mentally. I feel superhuman. He is also a staple in the lives of my employees, leading corporate weekly sessions, my employees are fit, focussed, engaged and motivated at work.Fantastic. Amazing. All of the above and more. Highly, Highly recommended. Tom, Thank You so much for making us fit, strong and healthy. More...

24 May 2023

Thomas is great. Working with him has completely changed my relationship with food and my water intake has vastly increased. His breathing techniques give me a full body workout and also calm my mind in dealing with work related stressors. If you have room to lay down, you have room to do his workouts. More...

24 May 2023

Tom offers and absolutely amazing complete programs. He is highly motivated and experienced, bringing his decades of experience to every session. He is such a professional and a gentleman. Being female, I was a little hesitant to have a mane trainer , but Tom put my mind at rest from the moment I met him. He has the ability to make you feel confident and relaxed. His programme has given me so much, It works every inch of your body and targets your concern, and it also includes nurturing your mental state of mind and wellness. I have never felt the way I do now. It has been nothing short of life changing. He has clients from all over the world and is internationally recognised and in some serious demand, so the only problem may be wether he has the time to work with you. Thank you so much Tom for coming into my life. More...

24 May 2023

My Husband and myself both train with Tom from Body to Breath. I had a range of health issues, including scoliosis and I was very unfit. I was also diagnosed with depression. My husband had numerous sports injuries and suffered from work related anxiety. Well I cannot tell you the way this incredible man has turned my and my husbands life around. We will be eternally grateful for his commitment and expertise. Thank God Tom was recommended to us, what he does and how do does it is utterly fantastic and the most wholesome fitness and wellness programme there is. Can't wait for our next session More...

30 December 2021

Where to begin..I have been fit most of my life, I was a professional dancer with The Bolshoi ballet..I stopped due to injury and moved to London. I fell into a slump like most people due to covid, my physical side and my mental.. since training with Tom my whole world of fitness has returned to me.. I am programmed to be an extremely fit person. Being a dancer is a gruelling career that insists on you giving all your physical and mental capability and i have never found a programe that has been able to support this until I found Tom. It is phenomenal and hard to put into words but this programe is totally unique in its approach and foundations. It is a deeply physical fitness journey combined with an enriching holistic wellness experience..an all round body mind cycle. Be prepared to be pushed, encouraged in a good way..the breathing is a new lease of life..it helps you in so many ways, with whatever and all issues you have, it heals you and it helps with physical exertion in order to keep going..I will continue this programe as long as I can, forever..fantastic. More...

30 December 2021

Tom and his programe are truely remarkable. I cannot speak high enough or cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for how Tom has transformed my state of mental health and wellness and also my body. My only regret is that i did not find him earlier in my life. Thank you Tommy for saving me. I was a stroke victim and 2 years ago i was told i would not br able to use my left arm or leg. Two years on after suffering a stroke, and as a result ill health, pain, mental wellness issues , stress a whole mind, body decline and collapse, I am now rhe fittest i have ever been physically, mentally, emotionally. And i have the use of all my limbs.Incredible... More...

10 December 2021

I have been training with Tom for 1 year. It has been the most incredible experience for both my body and mind. He brings his decades of knowledge, professionalism and expertise to every session. You are immersed in full and complete programe physically and mentally . I have never known a trainer in my 46 years who offers what Tom does. He knows the body and mind inside out and how to sync it. His programe is absolutely incredible and a necessity in the times we live in. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant🎖🏆🎖🏆🎖 More...

If not so, then the best place to begin. Your physical form WILL thank you I promise, I am excited to watch the transformation of my body and find peace and alignment in my mind and soul.

24 January 2021

I would most definitely agree with the previous person who gave the review. You wont find anyone In London, or I will go as far as to say The U. K with Tom's approach, his knowledge, his experience. I dont know what our personal trainers are learning but its nothing you cant find in a textbook yourself. I dont like exercise, and I find the the programmes the trainers here give to you are monotonous, boring, and I don't like the gym or the bulk you get after training with them. I have a lot of physical issues, over weight, flabby, bad back, post baby issues plus I was really depressed, suffered from anxiety and insomnia. I tried Tom and my god, everything just started to fall into place. I look and feel great. My body looks better than before I had my baby, im toned taut and tight and my mental health is so revived and fresh. I feel light and happy and I have focus and clarity. If you are looking for an exceptional trainer and person to motivate you, who knows what you need, who genuinely will get you results, knows his stuff and if you are looking for an entire fresh start physically and mentally and for your soul, everyway you must try Tom you wont look back. More...

13 January 2021

Tom came highly recommended to me by a high profile U.K personality and good friend. I have to say he exceeded all my expectations. I have travelled the world with my profession
and have tried so many personal trainers including here in London, I have never had this experience in my life. Tom is absolutely incredible. A genius. More than 30 years he has been teaching and his approach, skill and knowledge gets results in far more ways than you would expect. His programe has a key element of holistic wellness. His physical training uses your body weight as resistance. His intense and specific breathing techniques heal any emotional, mental, physical complaints and trauma we all carry with us. It is the most complete unifying training experience you will ever have. I train, my wife and my mum who has been suffering depression from lockdown. I was told their was no one like him in London, let alone The U.K and their isn't. He leaves any other textbook average trainer in the dust. He is phenomenal, nothing remotely close to his training exists here. He is the future pinnacle of what a trainer should be and we have him now. We are in the best shape of our lives physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. It is an honour Tom, thank you for saving us.
