About Tom Fitzsimons
Hi, I am Tom your personal trainer and the man behind Effort Personal Training.
I am an alcohlic and at the beginning of 2006 I was had reached my lowest point I weighed eighteen stone and did no exercise at all. I was at crisis point.
I decided to change the direction of my life and started running and cycling which in turn has led to physical, emotional and lifestyle change.
Now four years on I am a changed man, as well as taking part in marathons, I completed the Marathon des Sables, a 250km race through the Sahara desert.
I am passionate about sharing the story of my lifestyle change to help others do the same, and have told my story both in local press and on local radio & TV, as well as being featured in The Sun newspaper and on ITVs This Morning.

During Marathon des Sables 2010
Our lives are defined by choices, I hope I can inspire you to make the right ones.
