Rasilia

Previous Client

Our client Rasilia lost 65lbs in 18 months while being a fully plant based eater!

She came to us after having her fourth child while being a single mom. She had a hard time building momentum, structure, and discipline to improve her health. She started out with just three simple home workouts per week while we helped her dial in her eating habits. Month after month we progressed her training and nutrition plan to help her shed body fat and build strength! Now she’s truly thriving! 

 

Ariel

Previous Client

Our client Ariel was able to lose 30lbs in 16 weeks

She wanted to drop body fat while toning up so she could improve her conditioning to pass her Navy physical fitness tests. We programmed in three home-based workouts per week with just a simple set of resistance bands. She didn’t know what to eat, how much to eat, or when to eat. We built an amazing nutrition plan for her and her body responded! 

Cristen

Previous Client

CRISTEN lost 30lbs in 11 months

She was a victim of yo-yo diets, fad diets, and harsh/restrictive eating plans. Her metabolism was slow so we helped her start to nourish her body with the right foods and proteins. We taught her how to do less cardio and focus more on strength training. She was able to drop body fat while building muscle tone. Now she has a much better relationship with food and she’s not only 30 lb lighter, she’s been able to keep it off! 

Rick

Previous Client

Our client Rick built 10lbs of muscle working with us.

Rick struggled with not having any structure in his strength training workouts. He wasn’t tracking his workouts and he wasn’t progressively getting stronger. He was eating too much junk food and at sometimes not eating enough food. We taught him how to hit calorie and protein targets to get his body to start packing on quality muscle. We structured his strength training routine to help him track his workouts and make steady progress. 

Does this sound familiar?

You're not happy with where you are currently with your fitness...

Still want to indulge in the “bad” foods that you love, like pasta, pizza, and ice cream without feeling guilt and regret? 

Do you want to enjoy your workouts without having to live in the gym or grind through grueling sessions that leave you feeling beaten up and burned out? 

Do you finally want to arrive at a place where you’re happy with who you are and what you’re doing? 

If so, you’ve come to the right place..

What if I told you that you're just one decision away from the results you've been looking for...

Imagine waking up every morning, looking and feeling fit, strong, and powerful! 

Imagine in just a few months from now being able to take your shirt off at the pool or wear that sexy swimsuit with confidence while having morning to night energy to tackle your day. 

Imagine actually looking forward to your workouts because of how GOOD you feel each session. 

Imagine having an amazing relationship with food while feeling relieved that you no longer have to worry about your waist size or how you look to others. 

The Thrive Coaching Academy gives you everything you need to get in the best shape of your life.

Most people think that they just need to move more, eat less, and spend hours in the gym to improve their health.

NOT true.

No starvation necessary over here. No long, grueling workouts. We teach you how to NOURISH your body. We teach you how to work WITH your body.

Our clients love us because we help them get results without feeling like they’re on a “diet” or some unsustainable plan.

We completely transform your lifestyle through our mental, physical, and emotional coaching which will set you up for long-term success!

Meet Our Coaches

Coach Thomas

I’ve been in the health and fitness industry since 2013. I’ve worked with all different types of people and carry multiple training certifications and thousands of hours of experience. I know firsthand what it feels like to be overweight, out of shape, and unconfident. On the flip side, I know what it feels like to be in shape, strong, and confident.  I have a deep burning passion to help other individuals achieve the same thing in the most safe and effective way.  I started my health and fitness journey when I was only 7 years old. I disciplined myself to lose 11 pounds to make a pop warner football team. That set the stage for the rest of my life. Now it’s time to help you do the same! Let’s Thrive together!

Coach Dan

Growing up, I struggled with my relationship with food. I used food as a way to cope with my emotions; consistently binging on all the wrong things. At my heaviest, I weighed 275lbs and felt uncomfortable in my own skin. I saw the trajectory of my life and the future scared me.  From that moment, I became interested in nutrition and fitness. I made a commitment to eat healthy, strength train, change my habits and eventually lost over 100lbs!! Having first helped myself, I am now deeply committed to helping others achieve their own health and fitness goals. My coaching style and techniques revolve around producing results that LAST. My goal is to partner with you to find what will work best for your unique circumstances. Let’s Thrive together!

I had an amazing experience with the Thrive Coaching Academy! Not only did I lose weight and gain muscle but I also learned practical healthy eating habits. My favorite quote from Coach Thomas Padilla that helped me with meal prep and working out was: "If you don't prepare, you prepare for failure". Thanks TCA!

Danny is a fantastic personal trainer and weight-loss coach for the TCA Academy. He has helped me to both cut back on and realize what unhealthy foods I have been putting into my body which has me feeling better about myself both mentally and physically. I have been on a weight loss and muscle training regime through him and have been successful in furthering my fitness goals because of him. I have lost around 10 pounds so far and am pushing myself to lose more in a healthy and proper way. I still have a lot to work on but TCA gives me the motivation I need to keep at it even when I stumble and fall. Danny and Tom are fantastic people to work with and if you are serious about making changes they will put you on the right path. I highly recommend their coaching.

Best investment in my myself I have ever made! Thrive Coaching Academy is more than just your typical training program, it’s truly a life changer. I joined TCA with about 5 years of gym experience but lacked structure and discipline. Thomas and Dan have not only carefully curated an individualized workout and nutrition plan but have provided me the skills to get stronger, lift heavier and even helped me regain my confidence both physically and mentally. To put it into perspective, in just 8 weeks, I have already lost half of the weight I gained these past 5 years! Not just trainers but coaches that are always available and go above and beyond to make sure the plans fit your lifestyle, schedule and goals. You can also count on Thomas and Dan being there along side their clients putting in the work, sharing their personal stories and simply leading by example. If you’re ready to make a change in your life, Thrive Coaching Academy is where you’ll want to get started!

Thrive Coaching Academy has been a great resource for me over the years in helping me with weight loss, nutrition and mindset. Coach Thomas has been a fitness mentor of mine for 5+ years and recently got to know Coach Dan as well. Both are a wealth of knowledge and direction. I look forward to working with them for many years to come!

I’ve been a client of Thomas for two years- he has helped me lose 30 pounds and understand how to work with my body during different phases of my life. Thrive Coaching Academy not only focuses on exercise but also nutrition, self care and mental fortitude to work through the challenges of ups and downs of weight loss. I love Coach Thomas and Coach Dan and would highly recommend anyone looking to work with a knowledgeable motivating team to reach out!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Thomas Padilla over at Thrive Coaching Academy! He's not only an amazing person but is an absolutely fantastic as a health and wellness coach. Thomas goes above and beyond with his support, always cheering you on and keeping everything super organized, which really makes a big difference when you're just starting out on your wellness journey. It's not just about workout and meal plans with him; Thomas genuinely cares about his clients on a personal and emotional level as well. He tailors workouts and meal plans specifically to your needs and goals, making the whole experience truly personalized. I can't speak highly enough of him – if you're looking to enhance your wellness journey, Thomas is definitely the coach for you!

Over the years I have worked directly with Tommy in his coaching capacity. He is level headed and methodical in his approach to fitness. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge and a gentle way of pushing me to be my best. My fitness level is not what I want but he encourages me to look at what I’m doing that is tripping me up and common sense next steps so small successes are attainable. I’m doing a 6 week challenge with Tommy and Coach Dan. I love their combined energy. It’s been great working with them together. I’m disappointed in myself for not being further along but I know they haven’t given up on me.

Coach Thomas is the best! He helped me recover from a sciatica injury that lasted almost 4 months. The light movements that he prescribed has helped get me back on my fee (literally) and I am feeling stronger every day. Thanks Coach!

FAQ's

We have options for all budgets so it just depends! Most of our clients actually learn how to start SAVING money once they discipline their lifestyle. Our coaching is going to be more flexible, affordable, and effective than in person training. It’s time to invest that money in the right areas to start Thriving!

You can experience results in as little as 15 minutes per day! Everyone is different though. Everyone’s schedule is different. We program in the right strategy for you based on your schedule and time available. Most workout sessions are around 30 minutes long.

If you’re working out at home we recommend a simple set of resistance bands. This can get you a long way! If you have the ability to invest in some light dumbbells that’s a great investment. In general, if you’re doing home-based workouts, resistance bands and some light dumbbells can take us very far!

You can definitely still work towards your health and fitness goals while traveling. Taking care of your health and fitness when you’re traveling is an amazing opportunity to learn. If you quit every time you’re traveling or go out of town, you’re most likely not going to see the sustainable results you want. We teach you the best strategies to maintain your exercise, nutrition, and mindset during these times.
Convenient travel snacks include whey protein, protein bars, rice cakes, turkey jerky, lean Deli meat, Greek yogurts, oats, fresh fruit, etc.

We work with many plant-based eaters that get great results! We will teach you what foods to consume more of, what foods to consume less of. And how to maximize your calorie and protein intake based on your preferences.

We work with clients that have all different types of food intolerances. whether it’s lactose, gluten, shellfish, etc. We will customize your meal plan to include the foods that you like and enjoy. We’ll teach you how to dial in a nutrition routine that works well for you and YOUR preferences.

We teach you how to have flexibility and how to enjoy the foods that you eat. Everyone is different, so we help you learn how to maximize your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack routines for maximum enjoyment and efficiency. When it comes down to it though, you will have to improve the quality of your foods and limit your intake of processed and junk foods for true health. You can definitely enjoy some guilty pleasures though!

We encourage our clients to check their body weight daily so that we can take a weekly average of where they’re at. The body weight will fluctuate due to many factors like stress, sleep, nutrition, hydration, and hormones. Performing a consistent weigh in will help us understand where you’re truly at which will help us give you better results.

To maximize your progress It’s recommended that you don’t drink while dieting. If you do decide to drink, we encourage you to not exceed 1 to 2 drinks per week. Alcohol will negatively affect your sleep quality, your metabolism, and your muscle building hormones.

There are no refunds or exchanges on our products or services. All sales are final. No exceptions. Once you’ve made the commitment to work with us, we’re going to do everything in our power to ensure you are successful in reaching your goals.
