Hello! I’m Tom and I’m the owner of TS Personal Training & Nutrition. I’ve worked with 100's of clients of all different ages, abilities and goals in York achieving top class results.
I am proud to be the owner of the number 1 personal training studio on Google in York. The reason we are at the top is because we put you first, and we do everything in our expert powers to get you the results you deserve, whilst getting you to enjoy the process.
I’m not here to put you on some BS marketing plan, trying to get you tracking your full life making it complicated and difficult which leaves you overwhelmed and wanting to give up…
I’m here to get you doing the basics right… Drinking more water, controlling calories, sleeping better, moving more & living a happier life!
In my experience generally, the majority of our clients have a huge success just by focusing on the basics and creating a better lifestyle with consistency. Don’t get me wrong, there are individual circumstances that need to be looked at in more detail and that’s what we as coaches are here for. To listen to your problems and work with you to create solutions.
We want to create an environment for you to feel comfortable and to thrive in. We want you to look forward to coming to our friendly studio so you can create a solid routine in your lifestyle which will be a key to your success towards your goals.
We don’t offer flash pressurised ‘sign up in the next 60 minutes and receive a discount’ type deals because we pride ourselves on the service we give and the results we get. We feel our 100% 5 star Google reviews speak for themselves on this.
We stand by what we offer and what we do to get the best out of you and we have found from experience this is much more valuable than jumping on the next short term fix, as this will set you up for the rest of your life!
With every client that comes to us we focus on 3 main areas:
-
Building a better physical body with increased strength & mobility, less aches & pains and a body you feel comfortable & happy with.
-
Improving your inner health through healthy and manageable diet adaptations, creating a better and more sustainable lifestyle.
-
Developing a stronger mindset by increasing your self esteem & confidence.
Getting fitter, stronger, faster, more mobile and creating a healthier diet is great and is something everybody should look to achieve however at TS Personal Training & Nutrition we focus on creating a stronger mind set and building self-confidence as it is equally as important.
So by joining us on your fitness journey you will not only develop your fitness and health but you will develop your mind as well, all helping to create a better version of you.
My studio is the only completely private studio in York where you get your own private training zone with nobody else watching. This is to help make you feel fully comfortable at all times.
I will welcome you into my studio like a family member, discuss a plan on how to achieve your goals, set you on your journey with one of my five star coaches and keep in touch with you every step of the way to see your inevitable success.
Or if you want to work with me directly, then my special 'Elite Pack' independent coaching programme is the place for you! You can find more details through this link.

Why I became a Personal Trainer 💭
“As a personal trainer, job and exercise are intertwined. There are plenty of possibilities for me to focus on my own well-being. As a result, I'm part of a small percentage of the population that can balance job and exercise. Being a PT enables me to make a positive difference in people's lives. My goal is to change people's perspectives on living a healthy lifestyle, starting from the inside out.
I like seeing people achieve goals, helping people feel more self confident with how they look and feel. I also enjoy a range of different health and fitness aspects such as nutrition and strength & conditioning. I discovered a love for health and wellbeing that I didn’t know I had, I want to help and inspire others in the way that I was. Being a personal trainer gives me a chance to make positive changes in people’s lives.”
My health & fitness experience 💭
“Working as a gym instructor for several years whilst I have studied Sports & Exercise Science at Northumbria University covering nutrition, physiology, psychology and strength & conditioning. My education has given me knowledge and understanding of how the mind and body work in relation to health and fitness, and how they both benefit from a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.
Through my time at TS Personal Training & Nutrition I have worked with a number of different clients varying from older adults to University students helping them achieve some amazing goals such as strength and conditioning to rehabilitation and work towards an overall healthier lifestyle change. Through this I have educated clients on preventative care and nutrition aiding them to create a positive change when approaching diets."
Spare time interests 💭
“I enjoy playing football and going to the gym in my spare time! I also enjoy socialising with friends and family, going out for food and drinks, trying new places and different activities. Love going on dog walks, when free I like chilling out at home watching movies and TV shows.”
CHARLOTTE WHITE
Meet Charlotte!
Charlotte is our amazing Head of Client Fulfilment. Her role is to assist all our members with ideas and tips on how they can achieve their goals.
She has some incredible experience over the years working on her own personal journey in the gym and in the kitchen!
Her goal now is to pass that personal experience and knowledge on to our amazing clients to help them progress on their personal journeys.
These main goals are to:
- Share new 'healthy but tasty' recipes for our clients to include in their diet with clever video reels so you can easily follow.
- Offer help with any female related problems with diet, training & lifestyle.
- Spread positivity to ensure all of our members are getting the best possible experience.
This is what she has to say...
“Hey everyone, I’m Charlotte! I’m passionate about living a healthy, positive and balanced lifestyle and I love helping others do the same… 😄
I’ve always loved being active - I’ve played various sports over the years, ran several half marathons and for the past 7 years I’ve been weight lifting… Training for me is incredibly important - for me exercise is a stress release, it makes me feel positive, strong, empowered and just generally happier! Particularly, as a female I want to be able to help other women to enjoy exercise and feel confident walking into the weight section in a gym and smashing out a workout! 💪🏻
My second love is food! My favourite cuisines are Thai, closely followed by Italian!🍝 I’ll be sharing lots of quick, easy, healthy and most importantly yummy recipes with you that hopefully you’ll love trying at home! I also want to show you that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring! You can still enjoy varied, tasty foods or a meal out with friends & family and maintain a healthy lifestyle, it’s all about achieving a balance that works for you! 🙌🏻
My top tip to be successful in achieving your lifestyle goals is to do it for YOU and nobody else!
⁃ 🏋🏼♀️ Find a form of exercise that YOU enjoy! Don’t join a gym class just because your friend is doing it… There’s so many different ways you that you can exercise - it could be swimming, yoga, running, weightlifting, going for a walk, a dance class, whatever it is that you enjoy, do it!
⁃ ⏰ Make sure your workout routine fits around YOUR commitments and schedule! If you’re super busy and lack time, don’t promise yourself you’re going to go to the gym 6 times a week, start by setting realistic and achievable goals instead - perhaps you’ll go to the gym 3 times per week and go for a walk on your lunch break…
⁃ 🥗 Cook meals that YOU love! You don’t have to have a ‘super green smoothie’ just because you saw a fitness influencer having one for lunch. Cook foods that are healthy and nutritious but that you enjoy! There’s so many foods and recipes out there that there’s no reason for you to eat foods that you don’t like!
⁃ 🎉 Celebrate YOUR achievements - who cares if your mate Becky has just lost 10lb?! Focus on yourself and celebrating your successes! Whether you’ve just dropped a dress size, stepped in the gym for the first time or hit a new PB - every small achievement brings you one step closer to you being a fitter, healthier and happier version of yourself!

Why I became a Personal Trainer...
"After finishing my A-levels I was stuck on which career path I wanted to take but after conversations with my family, they advised me that I should study or work in a field that I’m passionate about. With football and the gym being my main interests and my chances of a professional football career ever dwindling I decided to study for my level 2 and level 3 personal training qualification."
My health & fitness experience...
"Once I got my diploma in personal training I then studied various massage courses before eventually getting a job working in a therapeutic clinic. Since then my whole life revolves around fitness and health. I believe working with these massage clients helped my transition, into becoming a dedicated personal trainer. Now I really enjoy helping all of my clients on a daily basis."
My spare time interests...
"In my spare time I enjoy playing football, sadly not professionally, as well as going to the gym.
Admittedly I enjoy being busy with work or exercise but on the rare occasions I get time to relax I enjoy watching a good tv series, visiting friends and family, travelling to new places, or sometimes just reading a book, which I’m trying to do more of."

I have taught fitness classes for just over 3 years with my passion being to encourage movement to as many people as I possibly can for both physical and mental well-being.
