I am a self-proclaimed nerd and couch potato turned fitness enthusiast. Although I played baseball since I was 4-years-old, I first found myself to have a passion for fitness when I started playing High School Football at Cherokee High School in 2008. During that time I also began to train for my upcoming enlistment into the Marine Corps. Once graduating High School I joined the Marine Corps and further realized how important it is to be physically active in order to live a life that is healthy, vibrant and truly fulfilling. After being medically discharged from the Marine Corps in 2012 due to combat injuries, I returned home to Georgia where I immediately began attending the University of North Georgia to pursue a degree in Physical Education. During my time at UNG I also began pursuing a career in personal training, attaining an ACE personal training certification as well as a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer Certification in order to be able to work more effectively and knowledgeably with fellow students, clients at Gold City CrossFit, and fellow members from my church. After four years of pursuing my passion both through University as well as through outside certifications and pushing individuals to achieve more than they thought possible, I graduated with a degree in Physical Education in 2016. To this day I continue to push myself to learn and continue growing, seeking further certifications from ACE, CrossFit and other fitness organizations.

A typical session would include a warm-up/mobility/muscle activation, a variation of strength training/conditioning, and finally a cool-down/stretching.
"I'm very thankful to be able to work with Thomas to improve my overall health. I have only been training with him for six months and have achieved a significant muscle definition, strength and endurance. He is knowledgeable and tailors my work out routine for my level of fitness, goals and physical needs. I have fallen in love with lifting because of him! Thank you Thomas." - Yadira

Thomas has been training me and my 3 boys for a few months now. He is training all 4 of us at our own level. My three boys are all football players and I have seen tremendous improvement in all three. He is firm but respectful. He pushes all of us to be better. I highly recommend him no matter what level of fitness you are striving for. The thing I personally like most is that he is a Christian man and a positive influence on my boys in that way.
I engaged Thomas to train my son, a high school lacrosse athlete, following two months of recovery for a lacerated spleen. Thomas was able to tailor a plan specific to his needs, and consistent with medical guidance for his recovery. As a result, my son was further ahead in tryouts than other athletes and now plays for the top high school lacrosse program in Georgia. Thomas is a consummate and dedicated professional that can train and rehab different athletes at all age and skill levels. He was outstanding.
Thomas is a wonderful trainer! He makes every session individualized and “fun”! Thomas modifies when necessary, but really pushes me to try the prescribed workout first! I can’t say enough about how Thomas has helped me stay on the right track.
