Before joining the Thrive team or family I’ve had past experiences of losing large amounts of weight rapidly but what I lack was knowledge to keep it off and my relationship with food! After losing the weight I would go back to poor eating habits and skip the gym or some form of exercise because I made excuses that my job was physical enough and quickly my weight came back and then some. When I saw Coach Dan’s post on how he lost 100 pounds and what he did and how he kept it off for years caught my interest. There is no better way to learn than for someone who has already been there and had been successful. So Coach Dan contacted me and we talked and he said that he could help me because I had lost a lot of weight with doctors medication, but I did not have a nutrition plan or training program that suited my schedule and some physical limitations. With the Thrive , family and coaching staff did is that it gave me accountability. I finally understood what my macros were my calories that I needed to be in to promote fat loss. They are not about restricting. They are about incorporating things you love to do or love to eat or even drink, but making sure you’re still in your calorie intake for that day or week. This is definitely for the beginner and for the intermediate person trying to lose weight. My thoughts have changed on losing weight through them. They emphasize fat loss while building lean muscle. The scale is not as important as body transformation. Overall, I am grateful to be part of the Thrive family.

Thrive Coaching Academy is a top-shelf fitness journey that truly has every individual client’s best interests at heart. Thomas Padilla is by far one of the best fitness coaches on planet earth. He is so grounded and patient, and has built a legit training platform that motivates and inspires, especially through his own personal fitness story. I am super happy with the results I’ve seen even in my busy, chaotic life. I’m down 12lbs and have a a clear understanding moving forward what is required to maintain this healthy lifestyle.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Thomas Padilla for over 10 years, from his days as a trainer at 24 Hour Fitness to the launch of his own business, and now into his evolution as an online coach with Thrive Coaching Academy. Throughout our journey together, I’ve always felt empowered, supported, and truly understood. But Thomas also knows when to hold you accountable and call you out when needed—something I deeply appreciate.

Working with Thomas is three parts fitness and nutrition coaching and one part therapy. Under his guidance, I’ve learned to live a healthier lifestyle, achieved the lightest weight of my adult life, and still enjoyed the foods I love—just in moderation.

If you’re looking to live a healthier lifestyle, become your best self, and THRIVE, I highly recommend Thomas and Thrive Coaching Academy.

Learning to take care of myself again was easy to do when you have positive, knowledgeable, kind, coaching. In 7 months I lost 80 pounds but that was just the side effect of learning how to eat healthier without a restrictive diet, and get active a few times a week for a few minutes. I couldn't have done it in this healthy of a way without Coach Dan and Coach Thomas. They give you the tools you need and tons of support. I recommend if you are ready to change these guys can get you there.

TCA is the best investment one can make for themselves. Coach Dan and Thomas are super personable and have built a beautiful online community of those trying to break cycles of bad habits and build a healthier future. Since joining TCA I have gotten meal guides, individualized workout plans, 1 on 1 check ins, rep form feedback, and accountability. Join if you want to invest in yourself not just today or tomorrow…but 20-60 years from now.
