As your trainer, I will see to it that you up the intensity each workout, target all major muscle groups, improve conditioning, and maximize your metabolism. Poor nutritional habits, long days spent working hunched over a computer, and lack of exercise are taking their toll on many Americans. A smart program can reverse this course.  It could be that you just need to get back to the shape you were in last year or maybe you’re in great shape but you want new challenges.  Each individual has specific need, whether it is weight loss, muscle gain, agility, or overall health improvement. I will tailor my program to your needs. I know the secrets of that successful exercise program whose infomercial runs all night and employ them in my client’s workouts.  I always mix it up with the trainee so their bodies have to adapt and improve. Too much time spent doing the same routine, over and over again, can lead to stagnation.  Often the trainee loses motivation and goes back to no routine at all. I will leave the guesswork out of the workout for the trainee. I can tell when the client is ready for a new exercise, more weight, more reps, etc.  A good workout can be had in a $10,000 home gym or in a public park with a couple of dumbbells if you have the right trainer.

"Thank You Tom Pollard

Ironically, it was my wife that hired you to train me. I was rather resistant to the idea of personal trainer especially with my preconceived notions of what personal trainers are like. Thankfully, you fit none of the stereotypes of Richard Simmons or Body by Jake or any of those other clowns! Quite the opposite actually and I think that is a big part of my success.
When we first started I was in the worst shape of my life. 275 lbs, no energy and barely able to bend over. Six months, and 50 lbs later, changes have been nothing short of miraculous. Heading into the holidays, I weigh 225 lbs and have gone from a 44 to 36 inch waist. But there is more: having been a very active high school athlete, I forgotten how much I enjoyed lifting weights and participating in sports. An unexpected bonus....my kids no longer make "fat daddy" comments but instead play more outside with me. There's no way being fat and lazy was setting a good example for the kids.
Tom, thank you so much for getting me off the couch and back to an active lifestyle. OK, so my wife got the ball rolling but the training has got my fire going that was out for so long. Now I just want to push farther. With your help, I have permanently changed my diet into something I can live with moving forward. I can now see a day where there is not a flabby part of my body, and with my family history that may mean a lot more than just looking good. Thanks again for what you have done, because even though it is your job, it has changed my life."

 "When I first found out about Tom, after searching on Google, I was glad to find someone who lived so close, and could train me in the local clubhouse gym. And reading about his philosophy on nutrition and working out on his website, it made so much sense, I just knew I had to go with him. And I am really glad I did. Just within 2 months of working out 3 times a week with Tom, helped me go from 26% body fat down to 21%, and took an inch off the midsection. And for first time after quite a few years, it feels good to look at myself in the mirror. And workouts with Tom comes with lot of nutritional advice as well. I would certainly recommend Tom to anyone who's looking for a personal trainer who can really work with you on your goals as well as be flexible from timing and location perspective, and all this without costing a fortune.

"After years of working out and never having to worry about what I eat, I am now in the position of needing a little boost! Recently I have not been motivated, nor do I make time for myself to do the training I need to stay in great shape. I have been very pleased with my training with Tom because he knows exactly what areas I need to focus on as well as working on my overall fitness. The exercises he prescribes are a great "push", and he uses a nice mix each workout so you're not bored and your body doesn't get used to it! He is also a stickler for proper form making sure you don't cheat and can't injure yourself. He is very knowledgeable, has a lot of great tips and can help with dietary advice based on your specific needs. He's doing a great job, exactly what I was hoping for!"

"Tom is a great trainer and chooses workout that suits my specific needs. I am liking workout more and more since I started training with Tom. He is very friendly and professional."

"Tom and I have been working together for about 4 weeks now. He's done an amazing job! I've worked with trainers in the past, and I really do think Tom is the best out of all of them. He makes sure you are doing the exercise correctly. I can't say enough good things about his workouts. I highly recommend him."
           Heather, Wesley Chapel

"After one month of working out with Tom I in the best shape I have been in a long time.  He puts together workouts that work your entire body and pushes you to
get the most out of your workout.  I have seen great results in 1 month, I can't wait to see what month number 2 will bring
           Jason, Wesley Chapel

"I have been very pleased with my one on one exercise sessions with Tom. He has altered my training to focus on past athletic ability, instead of just doing a "planned out, memorized" list of exercises each week. He has taken the time to figure out a workout that fits, not only my abilities, but also things I enjoy. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking to better their health through exercise!"

"Tom's Bootcamps are lots of fun and motivating! I have gotten stronger and feel better about my body! He makes working out enjoyable."

"I had a job interview yesterday. Since I am a full-time mom, it was the first time I had worn my "professional" clothes in a couple of
months. They were tight when I last wore them, and I actually had to poke a new hole in my belt (yikes!), but yesterday, not only were the
clothes loose, I was two holes in on my belt!! No more poking new belt holes for me!!  :). Yay, bootcamp!"
           Shannon, Wesley Chapel

"I love the fact that I feel stronger and and more toned than I did 6 months ago.  I owe it all to Tom."
           Jodi, Wesley Chapel

"After joining your New Tampa Boot Camp, I immediately made gains in strength and energy level. After sticking with it, I started losing inches around my waist. Thanks for the motivation and the great workouts!"
           Blythe, Tampa

"I have been working out with Tom for about 3 to 4 months.The workouts make me feel good both physically and mentally. I really can say that
I feel like a get a total body workout after our sessions. I have been athletic my whole life and scheduling workout time has diminished as I
have gotten older and now have a family. Tom's workouts are 3 times a week for an hour and I can really tell a difference in how I feel and
look. He keeps the workouts moving and provides great personal direction. Tom is also working with me regarding nutrition and eating
right."
