Tom

Tom has been coaching CrossFit and fitness for over 13 years and is a Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer, along with holding certifications as a USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach and ISSA Certified Personal Trainer. He has spent more than 20 years pursuing fitness and helping others improve their health and performance.

Tom found CrossFit Silicon Valley after learning that a friend was coaching at the gym and has been part of the community ever since. His coaching philosophy centers on leading by example and building a culture of self accountability. He believes coaches should provide athletes with the tools they need to train safely, take ownership of their effort and attitude, and build long term health and fitness.

Members are often surprised to learn that Tom is also a SCUBA diving instructor who has traveled the world exploring the underwater environment. In the gym, he loves the technical challenge of the snatch and is always looking for ways to become a more efficient runner.

For new members, his advice is simple: start slow and trust the process. Fitness is a marathon, not a sprint.
