Tom Burns, Human Performance Coach

Hi, I’m Tom Burns, a human performance coach. I help people build stronger and leaner bodies, understand their behaviour and perform at a higher level in training, business and everyday life.

My approach brings together my qualifications as an Oxygen Advantage breathwork coach, Motivational Interviewing behaviour change coach, Nutrition and Level 4 strength and conditioning coach. This means looking beyond your training programme to how you breathe, recover, fuel, respond to stress and build habits that last.

I bring lived experience alongside those qualifications. I have competed in Strongman at a national level and CrossFit on the international stage. I climbed Mount Snowdon with a 100kg barbell on my back, which was a world record whilst raising awareness and funds for the Ted Senior Foundation, and built Ludus Gym from a shipping container into a thriving gym.

My coaching combines physical training, breath-work, nutrition and meaningful conversations that help you understand what drives you, what holds you back and how to move forward. Together, we turn ambition into clear actions and consistent progress.

Whether you want to transform how you perform, look, regain your confidence or raise the standard of your health, I bring expertise, energy and a commitment to helping you succeed.

My mission is to help you become stronger, leaner more capable and more confident in what you can achieve.

Apply to work with me.

I will be your personal coach throughout your journey.
