About me
Coaching from lived experience
I'm Tom Blackburn, a strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer based in Thirsk. I'm currently completing my Level 4 in Strength and Conditioning.
Training has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I train and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as training in boxing and MMA. My best result so far is a silver medal at the British Open, and my next target is a European medal.
I don't ask anyone to do anything I haven't done myself. I know what it takes to get strong, stay fit under pressure and turn up ready to perform. That's the standard I bring to every session, whether you're a rugby player preparing for a season or simply want to feel fitter and stronger.
