Here’s what my clients have to say

Nick

Tom is a great PT with a solid understanding of theory and practice, and with his positive, motivating approach (including giving honest and constructive feedback) my knowledge and confidence has grown along with my physical strength and fitness. My knee pain is now a relatively rare and mild occurrence and, at 51 years old, I believe that my legs are the strongest they have ever been.Tom's knowledge and approach helps me adapt a spirit of curiosity. We identify where I can push myself a bit further and I can try without feeling under immense pressure to do so.Without his support I would have stayed in my comfort zone and not achieved the steady improvements I have seen over the last 2 years."

First Triathlon (2024)

Stuart

"As a leisure cyclist I was used to putting the miles in, but with a cycling holiday to Mallorca with the famous Sa Colabra Climb on the horizon I knew I needed to step up my training.This is where I turned to Tom Smith a personal trainer at The Hub in Chepstow, Tom was very personable and listened to the cycling objectives I had set and asked about my current training so he could devise a compatible and personal training programme for me. Tom recognised that cycling used more than legs so developed a programme that focused on leg strengthening, core and upper body along with a programme of stretching that would aid my cycling.Improvement was gradual but noticed and needless to say that I completed the Mallorca trip, enjoying the climbs and rides and it was noticed by friends how much my cycling had improved."

Fitness that Fits your Lifestyle

  • "Since starting my training with Tom, my confidence, not only in terms of the gym itself but also, with certain exercises has improved massively. He listens closely to the goals that you want to achieve & goes above and beyond to ensure that whatever is in the program he creates, he builds on these each sessions. Tom is enthusiastic & encouraging,celebrating every win with you. If you're looking for a coach that has good banter and knows how to make sessions fun and enjoyable look no further."

  • After 14 years of retirement and no longer being allowed to take the NSAID’s that had been on repeat for years, I was really feeling the aches and pains that had been nicely controlled by the medicine. I was less confident than I used to be and I knew I was getting progressively deconditioned and feeling tired most of the time. It might be relevant here to say that I’m 73 years old! Taking the plunge and joined Tom with an introductory session, and (4 months later)a follow up session from Tom Smith has turned out to be a game changer. I now feel much better and am noticing the arthritic aches and pains have lessened. I feel stronger and less tired. I’d recommend Tom to anyone that needs to talk to a well informed and personable PT with a good knowledge of what can be achieved despite any individuals limitations. His enthusiasm for what he teaches is very motivating! I’d also want to say …. Tom is a good listener and is sympathetic to my concerns about causing myself injury. As a result he introduced me to a range of activities and in a follow up session was able to check that I was on the right track. I’ve had a variety of questions concerning methods of training and he was well able to discuss in a balanced way, the various approaches that are possible, along with hints on how I could try various exercises. Tom has been quick to respond to email enquiries and generous in letting me join his training app so I can access a really useful range of information with professionally produced “how to videos” where Tom himself has demonstrated techniques that he has shown me in the gym. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anybody who is thinking about joining a gym.

  • I started sessions with Tom to gain confidence and from day one he put me at ease. He is kind and patient with excellent knowledge and I couldn't recommend him more to anyone looking to start sessions. As time has gone my goals have changed and Tom has listened and adapted the training programme to suit my needs. No matter what your goals are, Tom will expertly guide you to reach them.

    —Hazel.J

  • I have been attending training sessions with Tom and have achieved some great results. He ensures that I have proper form on exercises and I’m progressing through the weights and reps to continually improve. Highly recommend Tom as a PT as I love working out now. ”

    — Gillian.D

  • “Having Tom as your PT is great. He has helped me re-gain my confidence in the gym, helping with everything from the correct form to implementing a workout regime to fit into my busy lifestyle. He is very easy going and always willing to help. I would highly recommend to anyone who is starting out in the gym or to anyone looking to change up their routine and become fitter and stronger. ”

    — Sam.D

  • "I started with Tom end of Feb 2023 and I'm so glad that I did! I engaged with a clear focus on Calisthenics and Tom has taken this on with the same level of enthusiasm, making sure to research where needed to ensure we consistently focus on all the right exercises. I am confident that if you have a clear goal/focus or even a more relaxed aim, Tom will be able to confidently guide you forward. Training with Tom is absolutely great not only because you know you are in safe hands with your long term goals but also because of his fun approach. If you are considering some support then look no further, I am enjoying my sessions like never before which is keeping me motivated to stick with the hard work."

    — Tristan. C

  • Since starting in March, I have found some big improvements in my strength and confidence. Tom listened to what I was trying to achieve and always strives to challenge me when I need it. He is a very knowledgable PT and always gives great advice. Highly recommend his services.

    — Stephen.D

  • Tom has been my PT for around 18 months and I would have to say it's the best move I could have possibly made. He is brilliant at what he does and is always giving constructive feedback on ways to improve my technique and form on different exercises. Tom is someone I would highly recommend to anyone!
