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. 

Take a look at some of the Past Events I have taken part in, as well as ones coming up, and read the Effort BLoG to see what is happening now.

Our lives are defined by choices, I hope I can inspire you to make the right ones.
