You Don't Need More Motivation — You Need a System That Fits Your Life.

Untitled design (27)_edited.jpg

I'm Thomas Edwards — a personal trainer and nutrition coach based in Sandbach, Cheshire. I help people who've tried everything finally build a system that works.

I Wasn't Always the "Fitness Guy."

​

As a kid, I was overweight.

​

Not the kid who played every sport. Not the natural athlete.

​

Just a kid who struggled with his weight and wanted to be an art teacher.

​

I even got a degree in Fine Art from Leeds University to make it happen.

​

But during that degree, something shifted.

I discovered kickboxing. Started training. Got obsessed.

​

I represented Leeds in the British University Championships multiple times — and somewhere along the way, I realised I didn't just want to train. I wanted to teach.

​

So the second I graduated, I started saving for my personal trainer qualification.

​

The second I got it, I quit my job at Tesco and never looked back.

​

That was over 10 years ago.

​

Since then, I've coached hundreds of people. Competed in powerlifting. Coached clients to fitness photoshoots and national competitions. Learned from some of the best educators in the UK.

​

I've also been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis — an autoimmune disease that affects my large intestine.

​

It presents challenges. But it's also taught me a lot about health, control, and focusing on what you can actually manage.

​

And since becoming a dad in 2022, I've had to live the same reality my clients do: trying to stay fit with limited time and competing priorities.

​

The systems I built for clients? I use them myself.

​

They work.

I've Seen the Pattern a Thousand Times.

​

Someone starts a new diet on Monday.

​

Full of hope. Ready to finally get it right this time.

​

They follow the rules. Track everything. Say no to the foods they love.

​

Then life happens.

​

A stressful week. A social event. One slip that turns into a spiral.

​

They tell themselves they've "blown it" — might as well enjoy the weekend and restart on Monday.

​

And the cycle continues.

​

Here's what I've learned in over a decade of coaching:

​

It's not a motivation problem.

It's not a discipline problem.

It's a system problem.

​

Most people fail because they're following rigid, restrictive plans that don't account for real life — stress, emotions, responsibilities, or the fact that perfection isn't sustainable.

​

That's why I built the Momentum Method.

​

Simple. Structured. Sustainable.

​

I don't believe in quick fixes or transformation challenges.

​

I believe in building systems that work in real life — even when things get messy.

​

Here's how I approach coaching:

​

Evidence-based, not trend-based.


No fads. No gimmicks. Just proven principles applied to your life. I've spent nearly two decades training myself and over 10 years coaching others — learning from the best educators in the UK. I base everything on what actually works, not what's trending on social media.

​

Flexible, not rigid.


You don't have to give up your social life or your favourite foods. You just need structure that allows for both progress and enjoyment. Restriction creates the all-or-nothing cycle. Flexibility creates consistency.

​

Accountability, not perfection.


You're going to have off days. Everyone does. The difference is having a system that catches small slip-ups early — before they turn into full relapses. That's what weekly check-ins provide.

​

Sustainable, not extreme.


This isn't a 12-week challenge. It's a system you can actually maintain. Most of my clients stay for 9+ months because it works — and because it fits their life.

​

I Know Both Sides of the Equation.

​

I know how good it feels to be fit and in shape.

​

You feel strong. Sure of yourself. It makes your whole life better.

​

I also know how bad it feels to be out of shape.

​

It can make you feel down and limit where you feel comfortable going or what you feel confident doing.

 

That's why I do this.

​

I've coached clients through fat loss, strength building, and physique competitions. I've competed in powerlifting myself. I've worked towards a sub-20-minute 5km and trained for my first Hyrox.

​

I've lived with an autoimmune condition that requires constant management.

​

And I've balanced all of this while being a dad with limited free time.

​

The systems I teach aren't theoretical.

​

They're the same systems I use to stay consistent when life gets busy.

​

They work because they're built for real life — not perfection.

​

10+ Years of Coaching. Nearly 20 Years of Training.

I've spent the last decade investing in my knowledge under some of the best educators in the UK — because my clients deserve more than just generic advice.

​

This Works If You're Ready to Stop the Cycle

​

I work with people in Sandbach and across Cheshire who:

​

  • Have tried multiple diets and always end up back where they started

  • Struggle with all-or-nothing thinking (you're either "on" or completely off)

  • Know what to do, but can't seem to stay consistent

  • Want to lose fat without giving up their social life or favourite foods

  • Need structure and accountability, not another plan to ignore

​

If you're looking for a quick fix or magic pill, I'm not your coach.

​

But if you're ready to stop guessing, stop yo-yoing, and finally build a system that works — let's talk.

​

Ready to Build a System That Actually Works?

​

Here's how to start:

​

Option 1: Book a Free Consultation


No hard sell. No pressure. Just a conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and whether coaching is right for you.

​

​

Option 2: Start with the Free 3-Day Course


Learn the system first. Understand why diets fail and what actually works. Then decide if coaching is right for you.

​

What you'll learn:

​

  • Day 1: Why your diet keeps failing (and what to do instead)

  • Day 2: How to train for fat loss without burnout

  • Day 3: The accountability system that keeps you consistent
