LionheartFitnessMeet the coach behind Lionheart
Built through discipline. Delivered with humanity.
I’m Ben Tompkins—a personal trainer, gym instructor and former British Army soldier who believes serious coaching works best when people feel understood, supported and capable.
Ben TompkinsFounder & coachWhy Lionheart exists
Fitness made clear, personal and real.
I'm a Level 3 Personal Trainer and Level 2 Gym Instructor with more than five years of my own training experience, built through my time in the British Army and continued on the gym floor.
I know discipline matters, but I also know life does not always follow the plan. My job is to give you structure without making you feel judged, challenged without making you feel out of place, and support that does not disappear when the session ends.
Lionheart Fitness is for beginners and experienced trainees who want to build strength, lose fat, gain muscle, improve fitness and become confident enough to keep going.
The standard
Serious coaching. Human delivery.
I will push you when you need pushing, explain when you need clarity and listen when something is not working. Good coaching is not shouting louder. It is knowing what the person in front of you needs next.
One step at a time is still forward.
- 01
Honest
No magic promises, fake urgency or pretending progress is always perfectly linear.
- 02
Personal
Your training should reflect your starting point, lifestyle, confidence and actual goal.
- 03
Progressive
We keep what works, change what does not and build the next level properly.
Your first step is free
