No, you don't need any previous gym experience. Tom tailors every session to your current fitness level and builds your confidence from day one — whether you've never stepped foot in a gym or you've been training for years. Most of the clients who get in touch haven't trained seriously before. That's exactly why Tom's approach works.

Session pricing is personalised based on your goals, how often you want to train, and the length of your programme. The first consultation is always free with no obligation — so you can discuss pricing that works for your budget before committing to anything. Drop a message and Tom will explain every option clearly.

Tom trains clients at PureGym Rubislaw, located at the H1 Building, Hill of Rubislaw, Aberdeen AB15 6BL. The gym has full strength, cardio and functional equipment — everything needed for every kind of goal, from first-time fat loss to serious strength training. It's easy to reach from Queen's Cross, West End, Mannofield and Cults.

Great news — you don't have to live on the treadmill to lose weight. Tom builds weight loss programmes around strength training, sensible nutrition and movement you actually enjoy, so results feel sustainable rather than punishing. Cardio has a place, but it's a supporting tool, not the whole plan. The goal is a body you can maintain — not a six-week crash that undoes itself.

Most clients feel stronger and more energised within the first 2–3 weeks, with visible physical changes typically showing around weeks 6–8 when training and nutrition stay consistent. Tom tracks your progress every session, so you see real data — not just the scale. The numbers that actually matter (strength, energy, how your clothes fit) move first. Everything else follows.

Yes — nutritional guidance is one of Tom's specialist areas. Training without the right nutrition is half a plan. Tom builds realistic eating strategies alongside your programme, so the work you put in at the gym actually translates into results. No extreme diets, no banned foods — just a simple, flexible framework you can live with long-term.
