About Tom

With years of experience training hundreds of people in the Upper Valley, Tom Cardew is recognized as one of the top performing certified personal trainers in North America. 

“I help people from all walks of life become healthier and stronger. Through functional exercise, both in-person and virtually, I design customized fitness plans to fit a wide variety of goals.”

No one could have predicted how the global pandemic would affect the fitness industry, until gyms throughout the country were forced to shut down. Tom was left without a space to train his clients and it became clear that even when gyms reopened, many would not return. Having to pivot his efforts and wanting to provide a new experience to his clients, Tom built Cardew Fitness, a fitness studio where he can continue to provide services in a one-on-one training environment.

Raised on the Southwest tip of rural England by three generations of potters, Tom’s decision to pursue a separate industry was a surprise. 

“After transforming my own health and fitness, it was clear that personal training was my calling. My physical and emotional wellbeing significantly improved and I learned that success is simply consistency, hard work, and dedication. I take great pride in my clients hitting their goals while establishing healthy habits. I look forward to helping you achieve yours.”
