Tom Daniel - Functional Fitness

Fantastic experience: Best decision I’ve made, my experience with Tom has been a total game changer. I originally wanted to just get more toned, but with Toms help, I was able to achieve far more than I thought possible. I lost 13kg in just 3 months and significantly decreased my body fat percentage. The first month with Tom was focused on identifying my bad habits and then Tom created a tailored approach for me, which made it so much easier to stick to my new goals. Before working with Tom, I had zero motivation. Tom not only gave me the tools with his purpose built studio and body scanning (which was very motivating seeing the change occurring each scan) but also the support I needed to stick to my diet and exercise plan. This led to incredible results, and I am the leanest I’ve ever been. My initial goal of just toning up quickly changed to getting below 20% body fat, which we smashed scanning in at well below 20%. I'm so pleased with my progress and I know that with my new maintenance plan, I can continue to see great results.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Tom. When I first started his sessions I was low in confidence and frustrated after breaking my leg the year before. My posture was awful and my balance was all over the place. I had the goal of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and Tom created a bespoke plan focusing on building leg strength and improving core and posture. I completed my challenge with no knee or leg issues at all, thanks to Tom’s training plan and advice. With his help I have improved my posture, balance and I am now so confident in my leg strength I have signed up for a marathon! Tom listens carefully and adapts sessions and exercises to suit you, he also has a keen eye for spotting when your form is going and makes sure you complete the exercises as effectively as possible. The gym space he uses is well maintained and having the option of body scans and an app to use alongside the sessions was brilliant. I would like to thank Tom for the excellent support he has given me in meeting my exercise goals as a busy working mum.

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased to have found Tom. I've been working with him since August 2024 in prep for my wedding and have so far lost 8kg/over a stone. I've been up and down with the gym over the past 10 years but I really let the pounds pile on after lockdown. I needed help and I'd never had to lose weight before. It was a new challenge and this is where Tom came in. After working with Tom I'm pleased to say I'm fitting back into my clothes and suits, feeling more confident as well as have a plan that works for me. I'm the first to admit I'm never perfect in my eating/workout but that's why Tom has been fantastic as he helps you build a sustainable healthier lifestyle that works long term and not just a quick fix. He is understanding whilst still keeping you accountable. It's transformed how I look at nutrition, and my exercise workouts are effective and time efficient. Exactly what I need as a Mon-Fri 9-6pm London based tech professional! I can now look how I want for my wedding in September and long term have a healthier outlook for my life. Thank you Tom!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Tom for a 3 month window to get a renewed focus with my training. I had clear goals and my expectations were managed. By the end of the period I’d achieved what I set out to do and feel great with a clear plan to work on personally at home. Toms a great guy, very patient and clearly knows his trade. Highly recommend working with Tom.

Fantastic experience: As someone who hadn’t ‘exercised’ in a very long time I was anxious about embarking on any kind of program. However I realised I needed some accountability & hopefully someone who would encourage me to strive for my best. From the outset Tom listened & adapted to create a personal regime that challenged. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly 1:1 sessions with him & have begun to see what is possible with consistent regular practice. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tom if you need some support & guidance with your fitness regime.

Fantastic experience: Tom is a fantastic personal trainer, and such a friendly guy! I cannot recommend him highly enough. I have been working with Tom over the past 5 months, and it has been amazing. His sessions are individually tailored, challenging, and fun. When I started with Tom I had not exercised for 2 years, post having a baby. Over the past few months I have lost 4 kg, become so much stronger, and seen such positive changes both physically and mentally. The support, encouragement and investment Tom provides to help you achieve your personal goals is brilliant. He is so knowledgeable, patient, and adaptable in his approach. His fitness studio is really well equipped too, and a great space to train in. I’m looking forward to continuing my fitness journey. Thank you, Tom! Would highly recommend to anyone in Surrey.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Tom Daniel enough! Over the past 6 months, Tom has helped me lose over 20kg and completely transform my lifestyle. His personalised approach, constant support, and expert guidance has not only helped me achieve my fitness goals but also boosted my confidence and happiness. If you're looking for an online PT who genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, Tom is the one to choose. Thank you for everything!

Fantastic experience: Meeting Tom was a game changer for me. Tom designed a training and nutrition plan which helped me progress significantly despite my busy schedule at work and multiple social commitments every week, resulting in a weight loss of 9kg over just 5 months, with most of it being fat. My body shape and energy levels have improved significantly as a result. I'm in my best shape since 2016, all thanks to the guidance of Tom and the flexible plan that he created for me. Highly recommend if you are after a PT.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Tom now for about 4-5 months and have already seen a huge improvement in my overall physique, posture and stress levels. I came with some back issues where I needed to increase muscle, and Tom developed a programme around this. Working with Tom helped massively with my motivation and discipline enabling me to achieve noticeable results.

Fantastic experience: First and foremost Tom is a lovely chap and someone who demonstrates that he will put his focus into helping me with what I want to achieve from a fitness perspective. Through his Gym facility he has also built a great environment to train in. I wanted to find a PT as I recently had to undergo surgery for a hip replacement. I was keen to work on building strength. 6 months in and I can really see and feel the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom.

Fantastic experience: Always enjoy my sessions with Tom. What impressed me when I first met Tom is that his approach to the ‘older’ client is sympathetic, and the exercise programme is age appropriate though still challenging and varied enough! Over the last few months I have noticed that my balance, posture and strength has greatly improved. If you are looking for a Personal Trainer then I would highly recommend Tom. PB

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Tom for a year now. He is excellent - personable, professional, patient, very knowledgeable and really good at working out the right exercises for you. I’ve a lost a lot of weight (7 kilos in the first 6 months!) and my general fitness and mobility is so much better than when I started. Tom has truly transformed my lifestyle - thank you so much Tom!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Tom as a personal trainer. When I started, my goals were unclear, but he patiently guided me through a tailored fitness plan that evolved as my objectives changed. His in-depth knowledge of the body and exercise science has ensured every session has been purposeful and effective. The personalised approach he's taken has made a huge impact on my strength, flexibility and even my well-being. What sets Tom apart is not just his expertise, but also his personable nature. Before I knew it I was enjoying exercising again—so much so that I moved from 2 days a week to 3 and I'm loving the results even more! If you're searching for a knowledgeable, adaptable and personable trainer who can tailor workouts to your unique needs, look no further. Tom is, without a doubt, the best investment I've made in 2023! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Tom has done a fantastic job over the past 12 months helping me regain lost mobility and lose 5% of excess body mass (and accelerating). As a 61 year old doing little exercise due to chronic problems with my back, he enabled me get active again. Tom's a very patient instructor, which makes it easy to learn exercises, and keeps improving and varying the routines, to avoid things becoming monotonous and ensure I get the best out of our sessions. His balance of encouragement to push my fitness levels, while understanding I'm no super human has been just right, motivating; without nagging, pushing, or judgement. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to get their body to where they want it to be. Working with him has been the catalyst for a transformation in my attitude towards exercise, and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Tom for general strength and mobility training, with a focus on knee and ankle flexibility. He has been excellent in all aspects. Strong technical expertise, practical advice, a varied programme and the right balance of pushing me but not going too far. With this professionalism comes an easy personal style which makes the sessions fun. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had a series of sessions with Tom last year to get me back on track, fit and healthy after a lull in my fitness due to covid. Amazing facilities and equipment at his studio, great motivating energy, very knowledgeable and great chat. Felt amazing and energised after every session and saw noticeable improvement within a month. Cheers Tom!

Fantastic experience: Tom is a delightful trainer. He is very focussed on helping me achieve all that I want to. He designs exercises that help achieve this. I started only five months ago and have got more strength in my arms, core and legs. I have also lost 5cm off my waist. Would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: 5 months ago, I enrolled Tom as my personal trainer after coming to the conclusion that I was very unfit but did not have the motivation to exercise on my own regularly. Since then, with the weekly training sessions and personalised exercises in between, I have noticeably become stronger, leaner, have more energy and great sleep too. I was also very pleased to see that my waist measurement reduced by 6cm in 5 months! Tom is an excellent and highly experienced trainer, with a very friendly and inspiring approach. I would highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Tom for some time now and I have seen real results. I have really appreciated the care and attention to detail he takes with regard to tailoring the exercises we do to my develop, really helping me improve my technique and giving me advice on lifestyle aspects like diet outside of our sessions. Tom has always been supportive and encouraging. When I started I had a limited ability and suffered from a few previous injuries. Tom’s effort has meant that I have a lot more confidence now to do more and keep up the momentum with my fitness. In terms of results I have lost inches from my waistline and I continue to work with Tom to make further progress. I would heartily recommend Tom to anyone who is looking to get fitter and change the way they look like I am with someone who is knowledgeable, professional and most importantly supportive. Also happy to give personal recommendations about my own specific experience should you be considering Tom as a trainer and want to get in touch.

Fantastic experience: I have being working on my health and fitness with Tom for a few months now, and am delighted I have made this investment. We exercise mostly in my garden, which is very convenient for me and means I can’t duck out at the last minute (!) Tom is very polite, pleasant and very knowledgeable about all things related to fitness, including helping me through periods of low motivation. He’s easy to chat to whilst I exercise which makes the time pass quickly and I look forward to our sessions. I have achieved good weight loss and improved fitness as a result of these sessions. Tom varies the exercises I do as my fitness improves, and he gives me ‘homework’ to do in between sessions, which we keep track of via an app. I thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a way to improve their fitness to give Tom a go. It’s money well spent and good fun too. UPDATE MARCH 2022 - I have now started coming to Tom’s gym which is a great place to exercise, lots of equipment and provides more options on exercise to keep me motivated.

Fantastic experience: Tom is an excellent trainer, he mixes things up well and challenges me. He senses my mood and adjusts while not backing down. He is happy to discuss nutrition and lifestyle. We have fun. Tom is also well organised - always on time and no diary mix ups. I recommend Tom highly, a very nice young man.

Fantastic experience: Tom has helped me gain my core strength and confidence back after having my 3rd birth and subsequent c-section. He makes you feel at ease during workouts, yet still pushes you to hit goals, in a friendly way, I didn’t want a drill sergeant and Tom is definitely not that. Every session has been tailored to my needs and limitations whilst still providing a challenging workout. I would definitely recommend Tom.

Fantastic experience: Tom has been training me for a few months now and I would highly recommend him. I wasn’t in good shape at all but he has greatly improved my fitness and strength so far. He adjusts the sessions to focus on your specific needs and is great at motivating and pushing you, whilst also keeping the session enjoyable. He also creates workouts for you outside the one to one sessions to do on your own. Thank you Tom.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Tom for 8 weeks. Tom approach me following posting an ad online for a PT. Tom had clearly gone through my ad properly and was genuinely interested in helping me achieve my goal. We had a call and an in person assessment and I was impressed again with Tom’s attention to tailoring his approach to me as an individual and my goals. During sessions Tom has always attended with a positive and balanced motivational manner. He reads my mood/performance very well, he knows when to punch me a little harder to get the best out of me and put the brakes on a little. Tom shows fantastic knowledge. He provides me with stretches, exercises and techniques that help me towards my goals. The results - couldn’t ask for better. Main aim was to build lean mass. I’ve put on 4kg, dropped body fat and you can physically see a difference. Thanks Tom, keep up what your doing!

Fantastic experience: Tom has been brilliant at helping me achieve my fitness goals. He constantly keeps an eye on me and works within in my capabilities and pushes me a little bit harder each week. I would recommend him to anyone. Pauline Le Brocq

Fantastic experience: Having workout sessions with Tom has been great. He’s really enthusiastic and positive. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Tom has been brilliant at taking my lethargic lockdown body and improving my fitness noticeably within only a couple of months. I haven't used a PT for ages and Tom has been perfect in getting me motivated to get fit. He designs a programme based on ability and objectives and I really have benefited. Above all, he is a really nice guy! (....but still firm when I am not pulling my weight!)

Fantastic experience: Tom has been a wonderful PT during all the training sessions. He immediately recognised the areas that need improvement and he built up a person centred training programme to achieve my goal. His tailored programme alongside the explainer videos he sent enabled me to gradually improve my flexibility and strength and most importantly remain injury free. His determination in purpose built and targeted training has been of immense help in achieving my goal. I cannot thank him enough for all his help, professional advice and friendly approach. He has been of great value, he made me feel confident and comfortable by providing genuine guidance throughout. I would highly recommend Tom’s training method to anyone without any hesitation.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Tom. We discuss what I'm trying to achieve, take regular reviews and measurements and he explains/ demonstrates how to do each exercise. He is very encouraging as well as challenging to ensure I achieve what I'm capable of.

Fantastic experience: Helped me achieve my fitness goals while knowing your limits but also pushes you and is just a nice guy to work out with. would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been having PT sessions with Tom since January. He has improved my fitness considerably with fitness assessments and realistic goals. My sessions with Tom are varied, challenging and great fun. He ensures my technique is correct to prevent injury and has provided advice and encouragement around exercise outside of our sessions. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Tom is both approachable and thoroughly professional and my sessions with Tom have been a perfect balance of challenge and fun. Perhaps most of all, however, I have been most impressed with Tom's knowledge and his use of technology between sessions to encourage and support me to meet the goals we had set together. Thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Tom as a personal trainer. The sessions are varied and challenging, but always focusing on what is achievable.

Fantastic experience: I have trained for Tom since January 2021. He's motivational, knowledgeable and a good teacher. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’m now 65, and first met Tom Daniel 3 years ago at the Solent University Gym. A 12 week program for older recovering patients. Tom put me at ease and asked “what did I want to achieve “ . He put a plan together to ‘stretch’ me but not ‘brake’ me. He constantly assessed and re-assessed and adjusted my journey. I would be have seen him again but for Covid. Tom showed his carding side, he sent some basic exercise sheets, to keep me ticking over. Toms a powerhouse of a young man who really cares for his clients and what’s good for them.

Fantastic experience: Despite being pretty fit for my age, I recently ended up bedridden with a lower back ligament injury. After my NHS physio showed me tailored lower back exercises to add mobility and strength, I looked into getting a personal trainer. After an assessment, Tom knew the areas of the body that needed the most work – hamstring and hip suppleness, as well as core strength – which were lacking in spite of jogging, bench presses in the gym and playing tennis. Tom was always positive and encouraging, correcting my form during exercises without being a military sergeant. Tom demonstrated some exercises that looked easy, but I collapsed after 3 reps without a dumbbell in sight! However, over the weeks and with Tom’s tailored progressions, I got stronger and stronger and my back twinges became a distant memory. When I forgot the exercises from our sessions, the app Tom uses showed in detail how to do them for my repeated sessions on my own. I would highly recommend Tom as a PT for his knowledge, professionalism and friendliness.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Tom 6 weeks ago. He tailored my PT sessions to focus on any weak areas I wanted to improve on and adapted my training sessions where necessary. Tom is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate when it comes to his work and he was always willing to answer any questions or concerns I have about my fitness or his sessions. I would thoroughly recommend him as a PT.
