Winning Strength Southampton

Tom is a 10/10, no-nonsense coach and it has been a pleasure training in his gym. As a novice lifter who often felt self-conscious during workouts, Tom made me feel comfortable and there's a great atmosphere at Winning Strength where everyone helps each other. I got in touch with Tom hoping he could help alleviate the knee pain I felt on leg days. After a month at Winning Strength, my knee has never felt better. I'm comfortably able to squat past parallel which I could never do before. The gym is well-equipped, including several pieces of equipment/machines that you rarely find in other gyms (such as reverse hyperextensions, inverse curls, sleds and mag handles for lat pulldowns). I'm sure experienced lifters would feel right at home as PBs were being broken by his other clients on a daily basis. One of the best things about the facility is the 0.25kg, 0.5kg and 0.75kg magnetic plates that you can attach to any of the dumbbells. Very few gyms have this. It makes progression much simpler as you can increase the weight in small increments. Thanks for all your help over the past month Tom and I wish you and the WS team all the best.

Received wonderful expertise and support from strength coach James Bennett this year. Also used the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber for recovery and race visualisation. Achieved my 2018 goals of three gold medals (400 hurdles, 400m and 4x400 relay) at the World Masters Athletic Championships

Without doubt the best equipped strength gym in the area. All top quality barbells, eliko competition plates and some of the best assistance equipment. added to that the recover room with sauna, hyperbaric chamber, Res light and more. Tom and his team are awesome, amazingly knowledgeable and really friendly, this is a place like no other I can't recommend it enough. Rob Warburton WPC World Champion 2021

Since joining the Winning Health Solutions team my progress has been incredible. I started training in the gym May 2019 with the intention to improve my performance as a strongman. Thanks to Tom and the guy at WHS I won my first ever strongman event and followed that up with a second win just a few months later. The facility is world class, which matches the knowledge of the staff, I would highly recommend to anyone who has health and fitness goals.

Quite simply Tom is the best of the best when it comes to online strength coaching. As a coach to a World’s strongest man winner and 5 strongman world records Tom is one of the only other coaches in the industry I’d entrust with my programming. All my achievements as a coach are a result of him mentoring me. I’ve used his principles as a foundation to create my own systems of training and recommend that any coach wanting to make a mark in the strongman community do the same. Both time’s I’ve won WA’s Strongest Man has been under Tom. Both competitions felt like a walk in the park compared to the brutality he put me through. So much so I wasn’t even sore the next day. When I was diagnosed with testicular cancer Tom gave me a call and set my mindset right to come back better afterwards, which I did. I wasn’t even a client at the time but he genuinely cares about people and just wanted to help me out. Finally thanks to Tom I was able to quit my job as a personal trainer and have never have to wake up at 4am every again since I’ve used his principles to get my online clients amazing results. I’m grateful for my sleep ins every day and this would never have happened if it wasn’t for him.
