Thomas McPhail
Personal Trainer - Thump Boxing Instructor - Spin Instructor
Hi my name is Thomas. I have been involved with the fitness industry since 2004 as a Trainer I have had the real honor to train some amazing people. Training for all sorts of personal goals. Some of my fondest memories as a trainer was helping an amazing man lose a whooping 50kgs what was so amazing about this particular experience was what I learnt myself from him as a new trainer in the industry I knew all the tricks and all the right exereses, what I was about to learn on was the true impact that people suffer from from being over weight the journey someone must travel to lose weight. The varied experiences I have had from all types of people have helped me become the trainer I am today and I continue to be shaped with every new person I get to train, I thank everyone that I have had the pleasure in training, thankyou for every push up and every bead of sweet you have given me and thankyou for every moment of reflection as well. Personally I have been involved in the sport cycling for over 16 years now. Within the sport of cycling I have competed in road cycling, cross country mountain biking, down hill mountain biking and team time trials. In more recent years I have been racing the Brisbane cycling and mountain biking scene in A and B grade. My passion for cycling has now transferred into specialized strength and conditioning programs for all cyclists with an aim to helping improve strength, power and speed. Last year after challenging myself with racing the Coast To Coast adventure race in New Zealand it sparked a real buzz in me for trail (offroad) running, So I now am training hard to participate in some ultra marathons within the next year.
