ABOUT ME
I’m Tommy Else — a Personal Trainer based in Glen Ellyn, IL, with nearly 20 years of experience helping people get stronger, healthier, and more consistent.
I don’t train out of a gym, and that’s by design. I work with clients in their homes because that’s where real progress is made. No distractions, no waiting on machines — just focused, personalized coaching that fits into your life.
My background isn’t typical. Growing up, both of my parents were competitive bodybuilders. I myself competed in multiple bodybuilding competitions, where every calorie and rep had to count. I also spent years training and performing as a professional wrestler, which taught me how to build functional strength, stay disciplined, and perform under pressure.
Those experiences gave me a deep understanding of both physical transformation and mental resilience — and I bring that perspective into every client relationship.
Since starting this business, I’ve trained people from age 8 to 84. I’ve helped busy professionals lose weight and keep it off, older adults regain balance and confidence, and everyday people build sustainable routines that work.
What I’ve learned is this: people don’t just need a workout. They need structure, support, and someone who’s invested in their success.
That’s what I do. If you’re ready for something different — a real program with real accountability — let’s talk.

My Podcast
This podcast isn’t just about exercise and nutrition.
As a Personal Trainer I often find myself in the role of motivator, confidant, sometimes therapist, and inevitably friend.
I share insights on all aspects of my job.
Lessons I'VE learned from training clients for nearly 20 years, and introduce you to people who I've worked with, as well as those who inspire ME!
TESTIMONIALS
If you're thinking about getting a personal trainer who can help you achieve your healthy goals either virtually or in person, Tommy is the BEST.
Sensitive to your individual needs, he can work within any limitations you might have and can tailor workouts just for you. He is truly one of my favorite people on the planet.
Diann M.
Tommy worked with me on my diet for several months. He was very detailed and methodical.
He started the process by gathering information on my existing diet, then tailored a plan for me to improve on several aspects: reduce what was excessive (sodium, fat, carbs) and increase what was lacking (protein, protein, protein). That was the easy part.
Throughout the process, Tom was there for support every single day. He monitored my diet, gave me suggestions (including specific meal tips), and held me accountable. I lost over 20 lbs and felt better than I had since high school.
I absolutely recommend Tom for diet consultation; success is guaranteed with him in your corner.
Rich B.
I used Tommy's personal training when I started to workout again after having my twin boys.
It was super helpful that he was able to come to my home, especially since I didn't have a sitter. Tommy was great to work with! Very professional.
He listened to my concerns and worked around my back issue. He also helped me with nutrition and let me know what I needed to work on with foods. Thank you!!
Josette R.
Tommy worked with me post pregnancy on both nutrition and work outs- he is an amazing motivator and really helped kick start my post pregnancy recovery. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!
Desiree D.
I've gone to Tommy twice now for his personal fitness and diet consultation. The first time was to meet the physical requirements for admission into an Army officer-ship program and now I am working with him again to pass that program's final assessment.
My push-ups and sit-ups have greatly improved and I have cut almost two minutes off my two mile run time. He is a great motivator and incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about meeting their physical fitness goals.
