When is the last time you actually felt happy?

From working hard, juggling a million things at once, landing your first grown-up job, maybe even your first grown-up love, changing all the while, finding your place…

It’s been a journey.

Have you left anything important off the table?

My guess? You have. It’s the little voice in your head that brought you here, curious, and wondering if there might be something here for you.

Let’s Find Your Happy

Coaching at the level you need.

You have probably spent a great deal of time caring for others.

You have people who rely on you to support them. I get it.

As the first-born son of two working-class parents, it was my job to do many things to keep our household running.

I was a people-pleaser, to a fault.

Except for the most important person: ME

I’m here to demonstrate to you the actual power that comes from putting yourself at the top of your daily priority list.

Learn the power of the word “no” in all of it’s various forms.

Find your happy, and lean into it as a source of power, and strength.

Set yourself up for success every single day - even when all else is out of your control.

Track your progress using a variety of metrics that YOU choose to measure yourself by.

Coach Thom

Who I am.

I’m a gay guy in his mid 40s who has reshaped his entire being over the past decade, lifting up the shy wallflower I once was into a confident man who knows his own power and strength.

I smile now. A lot more than ever before.

Where I came from.

Born and raised in Maine, where money was scarce and food quality was poor at best, I grew up burying myself into books and a bag of chips. Movement was not part of my life. I was that weird kid at the dances, the guy full of anxiety and nervousness, who fit nowhere.

What inspires me?

While it started with a scary chat with my doctor, as I took control of my health markers, got stronger, and found my Inner Voice, there was an ever-rising sense of capability, of curiosity about what my body could do.

This sense of wonder and True Joy in “finding out” inspires me still. I’m still on that same Adventure.

Can I train with you in person?

I’m based out of Portland, Oregon. I am happy to make arrangements to meet and talk face to face, if possible.

Are you qualified?

I have my certifications from NASM and Precision Nutrition (Nutrition Coach, Change Psychology, and Athlete Training). I’m always taking a new course, and reading all the latest information. I’ve been a gym rat for over seven years now, and a coach for two

Will this really work?

I coach with the same protocols that worked for me, and I’ve lost somewhere near 70lbs of weight, am stronger than I’ve ever been, have a healthy relationship with food, my dog, and the world around me. I see more things as Playgrounds than ever before!

Yes. It will work.

How effectively is totally up to you.

What is Virtual Coaching?

  • Once you purchase your subscription, you get instant access to the Spark App, which lives on your phone (and on your Apple Watch, if you have one)

    Meetings, workouts, group chats, updates, nutritional tracking are all done on the app, along with 24/7 access to me, your Coach, just at the tap of a button.

  • Absolutely! Nutritional guidance is based on your own body and your own goals. Pre-built workouts are made for total-body growth, and are easily customizable on the fly to suit your needs for the day.

    Sparkle-Level members receive optional custom-built workouts, along with access to all of the pre-made workouts, that will match your personal goals, access to equipment, and any physical accommodations that you need to be made for your body and situation.

    It’s VERY personal.

  • In-person training is excellent for a lot of reasons, including checking form, adjusting workouts on the fly, and having a built-in gym buddy to hold you accountable.

    To meet all of these needs here at Spark, I ensure that every workout comes with not only a demonstration video, but also written instructions on how to perform the maneuver. I’m also really quick to respond to messages (usually within the hour).

    If you’re still unsure, or you’ve never worked with a Virtual Coach before, I say give it a shot. There’s no long-term commitment here, and you can cancel anytime.*
