“Once you fall in love with the process of improving everyday, that’s when we start to see the real results.”

— Tom Chandler


TC Coaching was formed to help fund my aspirations as a decathlete. Out of university, I wasn’t high up enough in the sport to attract full sponsorship or funding. A really successful job in the city was rewarding but left me at a disadvantage to other competitors who could sleep, recover and train more frequently.

After a rather awful hurdling incident, I was forced to decide if it was time to stop athletics or continue pursuing my passion in the decathlon. Thankfully, you are reading this because I chose the latter! I moved my life from London to Basingstoke (where my current coach is based) and for the past few years have been working out of Village Gym to build up the most amazing group of clients. Applying my previous training experience to help others with their lifestyle choices and fitness goals has been the most empowering skill I have acquired to date.

Following my dream and doing what makes me happy has been at the core of why I have become a successful coach. I have discovered how I can apply my story, experiences and training knowledge to help all current and future clients on their journey. If you are just starting out or are more experienced in the gym, TC Coaching can help apply structure, accountability and progression to your training.

“Decathlon is the pursuit of all round improvement. This is the philosophy I apply with all of my clients.”

Tom Chandler

Head Coach

Hey! I’m the Head Coach of TC Coaching. I was born and grew up in Balfron, Scotland. I chose to study at Brunel University London with a sports and academic scholarship in Aerospace Engineering. I have competed for Scotland in the Decathlon and aspiring to qualify for the Commonwealth Games. I have also represented Great Britain as a junior and now recovered from 2 ACL Reconstructions. My work as a coach is to help fund my on going training.

I love what I do as a coach, enabling people to be better than yesterday. I also love that it enables me to continue my dream of competing for Scotland and Great Britain in the Decathlon.

I apply the same level of detail and dedication to all of my clients journey’s as I do to mine. This is why I have been so successful as a Personal Trainer and Online Coach.

If you have any questions about how I train or I work with clients, don’t hesitate to get in Touch.

George Blake

Coach

Hey there, I'm George, a coach at TC Coaching. I’m a track and field athlete specialising in the 400m hurdles, meaning my coaching ethos isn't just about theory; I've tested every method on myself and my current 400m training group. From pushing through the grind of a Degree Apprenticeship to competing at a National Level, I've navigated the challenges firsthand.

My passion for coaching stems from personal experiences—overcoming hurdles, both on and off the track. With my current training group, I've witnessed transformations that go beyond the stopwatch. It's not just about the race; it's about pushing boundaries and achieving personal victories.

Join me in this journey of resilience and growth. I'm not just a coach; I'm a partner in your pursuit of success. Let's turn your aspirations into achievements together.

Stay determined!
