THP Fitness

I would highly recommend Thomas Padilla to anyone looking for a personal trainer. Have a conversation with him and find out what he can do for you. He truly cares for all his clients. He never lets a text go unanswered. He's there for you every step of the way. He understands that good health is not just physical. It's what you eat, what you think, it's your environment. He touches on it all. He’s passionate about what he does and continues to educate not only himself but others as well.I started training with Thomas about 5 years ago, before he owned his own gym. I had a personal trainer before but it didn't work out. So, I was on my own and I had been going to the gym pretty regularly with little to no results. I'm not a stranger to the gym so I knew it was a matter of partnering up with someone who would keep me accountable and push me to my physical potential.I started training with Thomas, gradually getting into the best shape of my life. Sure, there were frustrations and setbacks but Thomas was always positive with his approach even when we're discussing nutrition and I'm resistant to what he's telling me. He always makes sure to point out the little victories, progress and gains along the way.I was getting stronger, leaner, toned and feeling good about myself. The next thing I know, I'm sitting at the doctor's office as she's telling me I have breast cancer? Over the next two years it was a repetitive cycle of surgery, recovery, rehabilitation then surgery, recovery, rehabilitation again and again. After each surgery there was a no lifting restriction. Once the restriction was lifted, I would go see Thomas. He would help me with mobility and guide me to pace myself as we started to rebuild my strength for the next surgery. He was knowledgeable and patient, pushing me when I needed it, putting on the brakes when I wanted to go beast mode, and encouraging when I felt defeated. He interjects with his corny jokes and as we all know; laughter IS the best medicine.My sister has trained with him with great results and another sister, out of state, is currently working out with his online HIIT class. She loves that he understands that we're not all elite athletes and gives alternatives to almost every exercise.Five years later he is still my fitness guru and I follow his lead with nutrition, exercise and mindset. I continue to learn from him as he continues to feed us his knowledge through his Instagram and Facebook posts.

Thomas is honestly just what I was looking for! I've been with him for a year and have lost close to 100lbs! He really works with you on a personal level, creates the workouts based on your goals and is nothing but supportive. Working with him hasn't just helped me get into better shape, it has completely changed my daily lifestyle. I highly recommend!

Thomas is the real deal. If you wanna get your life style in order for health and fitness, Thomas is your go to guy for the best personal trainer. He will get your mind right so you can work to get your body tight. I highly recommend THP Fitness. Try him, you'll be glad you did!!

Thomas Padilla is a one of a kind health EXPERT. He takes his vast knowledge of exercise, nutrition, mindset and goal setting - then boils everything down into SIMPLE and EASY steps to follow. What I love most about THP Fitness is that Thomas deeply cares about his clients and is focused on helping them reach their goals and understanding how to build better habits that lead to better outcomes. Thanks Thomas!

I have been training with Thomas for almost a year now. Thomas has helped me become a better runner and all around stronger. He is the most positive and motivating person I know! I highly recommend him to anyone, especially someone that needs that extra push and motivation to be the very best you can be!

I am a client for Thomas and he has been super motivating and charismatic the whole time I’ve worked with him. I’ve only been with him for a few months and I’ve lost 20 pounds. He’s taught me about consistency and has shown me how to keep a positive mindset. I’ve tried many different things, processes, and programs to lose weight and nothing has worked but Thomas provides a safe space and private environment that is comfortable and suitable to workout in. Well deserved 5 stars !

I have trained with Thomas for a couple years with great results. He’s helped develop a new attitude in me. I have more confidence and a drive to stay healthy. Because of his expertise and guidance, I have increased my speed, balance, focus, endurance and strength. I still look forward to each session!

I have known Tommy for about 6 years. I first met him when he was working at 24-Hour Fitness (the Broadway location in Chula Vista, and then the one off H Street). He has worked with me when I was in good shape, recovering from an injury, or trying to recover my conditioning. Through all struggles or reasons for which I needed a trainer, he far exceeded my expectations.I was overjoyed when Tommy moved to his own location. Trying to work with a trainer in a busy gym where you have to fight for equipment really ruined the experience (and wasted a lot of valuable training time!!). At THP fitness, you get a personal one on one experience without having to fight for equipment or judging eyes or outside distractions.Tommy will give you as much attention and motivation you need to meet your goals. He is kind and encouraging, but honest with you when you need to hear, "Don't you dare eat that pizza!" (If weight loss is your goal for example). Whether your goal is weight loss, injury recovery, or you just need some extra motivation, Tommy is by far the best gym partner and coach I have ever had and would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve been working with Thomas for approximately two months now and I can say he is super dedicated and passionate about what he does. I was dealing with a back injury and Thomas patiently helped me through my workouts so I can safely build strength and recover well. Thomas is super professional and really shows he cares about his client’s success and meeting their goals. Best trainer in town!

With this pandemic, working from home and being a full time mommy I knew It was necessary to make time for my health and well-being. I couldn’t be any more happy to join THP Fitness. Tommy is an exceptional fitness trainer and professional . He is knowledgeable and has a holistic approach to weight loss and health.His workouts are fun, challenging and tailored for all needs. I recommend Tommy if you’re looking at starting/restarting or continuing your health and fitness journey.
