Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Thompson Training and a regular gym?

We're a coaching service, not a gym. You get personalized expert attention, detailed nutrition planning, and accountability support. We help you develop the skills and habits for lifetime success, not just short-term results.

How quickly will I see results?

Most people notice changes within 2-3 weeks with consistent effort. More dramatic visible results typically appear around week 6-8. The timeline depends on your starting point, consistency, and commitment to the full program including nutrition.

What if I've tried other programs without success?

Many of our clients have tried other approaches unsuccessfully. Usually, previous attempts failed because they addressed only one aspect of the problem. Our comprehensive approach addresses why you haven't succeeded before and removes those barriers.

Do I need to follow a specific diet?

No strict diet required. We create a nutrition plan based on foods you actually enjoy and can sustain. Our focus is developing healthy eating habits you can maintain indefinitely, not following temporary restrictions.

How much time do I need to commit?

Training sessions are typically 3-5 hours weekly depending on your program. The nutrition and lifestyle changes happen throughout your day. Most clients find the time investment worthwhile given the dramatic results they achieve.

What happens after I reach my goal?

Many clients continue working with us in a maintenance capacity because they value our partnership and guidance. We help you transition from transformation mode to maintenance, ensuring your results stick long-term.

Are you accepting new clients?

We're selective about new clients because we're genuinely committed to your success. Interested prospects typically start with a consultation to determine if we're the right fit for your goals and commitment level.

What if I have injuries or physical limitations?

Tell us about your situation during consultation. We work with various conditions, modifying programs as needed. Many of our clients work with physical therapists simultaneously, and we coordinate care for best results.
