Tom Eastham's Athlete Profile

Having passed my first rugby ball when I was just 3 years old, it's no surprise to me that sport has always been and continues to be an integral part of my life. The individual competition and the teamwork needed to succeed are 2 contrasting skills that have helped shape who I am today.

Representing my School, County, University, Premiership and National League clubs has hardened me both mentally and physically.  This lead to a leading job in the Fitness Industry and after 2 years, I was chosen to be Fitness First UK's number 1 Personal Trainer out of 2,500 others. Motivation and desire helped me there and continue to take me to new heights.  Playing Rugby enabled me to get through University and is the sole reason behind my current physique, don't get me wrong I love the beach weights too, but the desire to be the best forces me to Press Squat Curl and Clean heavy and hard.
