Meet Tom Green | Personal Trainer & Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tom Green and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tom, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process revolved around my passion for fitness while also building a strong, positive, healthy community. Coming from small town Iowa, I grew up in a very tight knit supportive community. So it’s always been important for me to have that in both business and personal life. Outside of that, I wanted to take things slow and gradually build each year. I’ve seen a lot of businesses start out too big and too fancy without building a foundation first. Generally speaking I’ve watched the majority of those businesses fail. I’m a firm believer that baby steps lead to big results.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The GreenSpeed Training Facility is a Personal Training Gym dedicated to the communities of San Diego. We offer sports performance training, private training, small group training, youth fitness, yoga, and nutrition. We also have access to the best doctors, physical therapists, chiropractor and acupuncture. What sets us a part is our combined real-world experience while giving full attention to clients and their goals. We don’t offer big classes. Our goal is always quality NOT quantity. I’m very proud of our positive reputation within the community. We have a lot of incredible clients and everyone is treated equally. Whether you’re a professional athlete or retired in your 70’s, everyone in the gym is treated with the same tough love and held to the same standards. Founded in 2015, it’s been a fast 5 years of growth with tremendous support from our local community. It hasn’t been easy, but, “persistence and energy will conquer all things.” With our recent expansion, I’m very excited to offer more to our clients. Countless lessons have been learned along the way, but these lessons have all been priceless for growth and improvement. One of the biggest lessons has been finding ways to keep things efficient and simple! That surprisingly isn’t easy. I want the World to know that if a farm boy from Iowa can move to California and create one of the best gyms in San Diego, then anyone can do anything with a little passion and consistent hard work. The gym’s brand will continue to evolve, but at its core it always comes back to the foundation which is based around results and community.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite spots in San Diego are unique, low key relaxed environments with a great view and good energy. I’ve been to countless locations that provide a variety of these elements.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shout out to my incredible family for supporting my decisions to pursue lofty goals. They’re always just a phone call away and eager give priceless advice. Also to all of the coaches that have molded me into the man I am today. All of their knowledge, tough love, and attention to details have successfully guided me through many tough journeys. And a HUGE thank you to all of the incredible families that put their faith and trust into the GreenSpeed Training Facility. This gym is truly for them and I’m honored to be a part of it.
