ABOUT TOM McCLURE

I’m Tom McClure, a former professional strongman and strength coach. After years in martial arts, kickboxing, and boxing, I entered my first strongman competition at age 30. Just 11 months later, I became the 2005 North American Amateur National Champion and earned professional status. In 2007, I represented the United States internationally as part of Team USA alongside Derek Poundstone, Travis Ortmayer, and Brian Shaw at the World’s Strongest Nation. That same year, I reached the final of the IFSA World Championships. I later won an ASC professional competition in 2008 and placed third at the 2011 Olympia Strongman after entering the final event tied for the overall lead.

I hold a BS in Exercise Science, and my background includes NSCA personal-training certification and certification as a Strategic Intervention Coach through Robbins-Madanes Training Center.

​

Today, I bring decades of competitive experience, technical knowledge, and an understanding of mindset to personalized virtual coaching. My goal is simple: help you build lasting strength, improve performance, and train with purpose.

Practical strength training, technique instruction, and straightforward guidance built on decades of competitive and coaching experience. Whether you’re preparing for strongman or powerlifting competition or working to become stronger in everyday life, I’ll build your training around your goals, experience, schedule, and available equipment.

Welcome to my new channel. I'm excited to be a part of some big improvements!

REAL CLIENT RESULTS

“At 50+, Tom’s methods helped me go from 400 pounds to 220, and I’m still progressing. At 54, I’m starting to like the way I look for the first time in my life. When life tripped me up, his coaching kept me rooted and moving forward. It’s never too late. Start now. I’m not done yet.”

How It Works

Your coaching begins with a look at your goals, training history, current ability, schedule, and equipment. From there, I create a plan you can follow and adjust it as you progress.

You can send videos of your lifts for feedback on form and technique. We’ll review your progress, address what isn’t working, and keep your training focused on the results you’re pursuing.
