However, I felt leisure centres were restrictive for personal trainers and it was during lockdown, I ran my sessions out of a garage with second-hand equipment. It showed me the potential for group sessions, membership-free training, and how important health and fitness was to my clients, come wind, rain or shine they were there.<\/p>\n<p>It gave me a clear vision on how I wanted my business model to look. I\u00a0wanted a home-from-home personal gym with a personal service, somewhere people can come with no gym intimidation, a community feel and somewhere people looked forward to coming and felt good when they left.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What is your vision for Tom Hall Fitness?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I currently run a number of options, including walk-ins where clients come for an induction, learn to use the equipment safely, and discuss any health conditions and fitness goals. They are then free to use the gym as they please with just a \u00a33 charge per visit.<\/p>\n<p>I also do 1:1 personal sessions, and group training and I have just launched Pump classes.<br \/>\nThe short-term vision \u2013 given the economic climate is to ensure everyone has the opportunity to stay fit and healthy by growing walk-ins and group sessions. Group sessions are one of my favourites as it is cost-effective for all participants, it gives a community feel, we train, and we laugh. I get to introduce like-minded people who often become firm friends and the training sessions remain challenging and effective.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Who can join Tom Hall Fitness?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Maybe joining is not quite the right expression. You do not have to \u2018join\u2019 as there is no monthly membership, just a one-off induction. I have people attending of all ages and all walks of life. There are no limits to your fitness level, if you are starting out or trained all your life, we have a programme and equipment that suits all.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What type of classes do you offer?\u00a0 We have heard a lot about The Pump!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Currently, THF Pump is the only \u2018class\u2019 I run; this is based on 7 participants doing a pre-booked 10 week course. I run 2 a week and they sold out in 6 hours.<br \/>\nI also have a number of men\u2019s, women\u2019s, mixed group training sessions, and Saturday morning boot camps. These are drop-in sessions that anyone is welcome to join but require a prior conversation to ensure you are entered into the correct level\/dynamic for you.<br \/>\nWe have treadmills, bikes, fit balls, rowers, boxing options, an extensive range of weights, and even a ladies-only training room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What do you do outside of the gym for fun?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If I said cleaning the gym, would that sound weird ha! When I am not cleaning the gym I enjoy spending time with my family, we do lots of fun activities! I have a fianc\u00e9, 2 girls, and a stepdaughter, so I am a little outnumbered at home.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We love what we hear, how do we become part of the Tom Hall Fitness Family?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can get in touch with Tom in the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>Visit the website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomhallfitness.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Hall Fitness<\/a>, email <a href=\"mailto:info@tomhallfitness.co.uk\">info@tomhallfitness.co.uk<\/a> or call\/text on 07779 960848 to book a viewing or an induction.
