HELLO👋
I’m Tom North - yes, like True North, which is where the name True North Training comes from.
Think of me as your fitness compass, guiding you to a stronger, more confident version of yourself (without getting lost along the way).
where it all started
Let Tom talk you through it!
I’ve always been into fitness however, competing in athletics at a county level got me hooked. That passion led me to spend six years training clients at a top national gym chain, helping people transform their bodies and build serious confidence.
Now, I’m here to help you do the same. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time, looking to level up your training, or even prepping for a bodybuilding competition, I’ve got you covered.
I KNOW THE GYM CAN FEEL INTIMIDATING
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE...
MY APPROACH?
HAVE FUN
HIT YOUR GOALS
FEEL CONFIDENT
Enjoy every session.
Progress with purpose.
Build strength, inside & out.
I’ll keep you motivated, push you when you need it, and make sure you understand why you’re doing each exercise so you can feel confident training on your own, too.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me playing my keyboard (badly) or getting way too competitive in Mario Kart. But whether I’m in the gym or gaming, one thing stays the same...
I’m all about strategy, progress, and helping you find your strongest self!
