Meet Your Coach – Gary Thomas
Hi, I’m Gary Thomas, founder of G&T - a one-on-one endurance coaching service built on experience, passion, and the belief that anyone can achieve something incredible with the right support.
Sport has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. As a naturally competitive person, I’ve always been driven to push myself to the limit and become the best athlete I could be. That journey has taken me around the world and given me the opportunity to compete at the highest levels of endurance sport.
I’m proud to be a 2x XTERRA World Championship participant, with 2nd-place age group finishes at both XTERRA Malta and XTERRA Netherlands, and a 3rd-place finish at XTERRA South Africa. I’m also an Ironman 70.3 finisher, a sub-3-hour marathoner, and a passionate trail runner and UTMB course explorer.
But as much as I love racing and personal achievement, what drives me most is helping others unlock their own potential. Over the years, my definition of success has evolved. It’s no longer just about podiums. It's about people. Seeing someone run their first mile, finish their first Ironman, or simply feel confident enough to join a local run club - that’s where the magic is.
My mission is simple: to help you reach your goals, whether you're chasing a personal best, completing your first race, or building the confidence to just get started.
My coaching style is personal, adaptable, and built around real life - because most of us are balancing jobs, family, and everything in between. I offer tailored training plans, updated regularly based on your feedback and progress, not just static programs you find online. We work together, adjusting as life happens, and always keeping the fun and joy in training.
I take the time to get to know you - not just as an athlete, but as a person - so we can build something sustainable, motivating, and effective. Because when we reach those once "impossible" goals, the feeling is indescribable. And I want to help as many people as possible experience that.
Whether you're aiming to finish strong, start fresh, or chase something big, I’ll be right there with you. Supporting, guiding, and celebrating every step of the way.
Let’s train smart, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey together.
Let’s Go & Train.
