FEATURED THRIVERS!


MATTHEW
Previous Client
Lost 19 lbs | Personal Injury Attorney | Husband & Father of 3
When Matt came to Thrive, he was stuck in a cycle of mindless snacking and inconsistent cardio. He wanted to feel more attractive to his wife and finally see real changes in his body.
We built a structured nutrition plan and focused on tracking calories and protein to break old habits. We also prioritized strength training, which completely changed his physique.
Matt lost 19 pounds, built lasting discipline, and now leads his family with renewed confidence—physically and spiritually strong.



DAVID
Previous Client
Lost 13 lbs | Cycling Instructor
David came into Thrive as a cycling instructor who was already active—but struggling to see real changes in his body. Despite his fitness background, a lack of structure and accountability around nutrition was holding him back.
We started by dialing in his nutrition, helping him track his food and fuel his body with the right amount of calories and nutrients. From there, we built a strength training plan that complemented his cycling schedule—so he could train effectively without feeling burned out.
With consistent accountability and a focused plan, David lost 13 pounds, reshaped his body, and finally bridged the gap between his fitness knowledge and lasting results.


JEREMY
Previous Client
Lost 30 lbs | Full-Time Professional | Father of a Young Daughter
When Jeremy joined Thrive, he was carrying the weight of stress—physically and mentally. He was using running to help manage his mental health, but lacked the structure and accountability needed to create lasting change.
Jeremy committed to the program because he wanted more—for himself, for his daughter, and for his spiritual and mental well-being. He knew that building a stronger body would help lay the foundation for the life he wanted to lead.
We developed a plan that allowed him to continue enjoying running, while prioritizing strength training to reshape his body and boost his metabolism. We also focused on building a sustainable nutrition routine around his busy work and family life.
Jeremy lost 30 pounds, transformed his body, and strengthened his mindset—becoming a healthier, more confident role model for his daughter and a man of greater discipline and purpose.


NICK
Previous Client
Lost 14.5 lbs | Husband & Father of 3 | Roofing & Business Professional
Nick came to Thrive as a busy husband, father of three young children, and roofing/business professional. Like many men in his position, he wanted to take his health and physique to the next level—but struggled to stay disciplined with his nutrition while juggling work, family, and life.
Before joining the program, Nick’s eating habits were driven by convenience, which made it difficult to consistently see results. We built a plan that helped him eat with more intentionality, track his macros, and fuel his body for both fat loss and muscle gain.
With consistent structure, Nick stripped away 14.5 pounds, reduced body fat, built lean muscle, and now feels stronger, more energetic, and more confident—in both his body and his role as a husband and father.
Does This Sound Like You?
You’re not proud of where your body’s at right now…
You’ve tried being strict with food—only to binge later.
You want to enjoy pizza with your kids or have a steak and dessert on the weekend without guilt or spiraling off track.
You’re sick of workouts that leave you drained, exhausted, or feeling like a failure for missing one.
You want something that fits your life, not the other way around.
And deep down… you’re just tired of not feeling like the man you know you’re meant to be.
If that’s you — you’re in the right place.
What If One Decision Changed Everything?
Imagine waking up with energy, confidence, and clarity.
Imagine feeling strong, lean, and in control — without obsessing over food.
Imagine walking into your closet, picking any shirt, and feeling proud of how it fits.
Imagine enjoying food and fitness again… and actually looking forward to workouts that energize you — not exhaust you.
Imagine honoring God with your body, your habits, and your discipline.
Now imagine that becoming your new normal in just a few short months.
That’s What We Do at Thrive Coaching Academy
Most men think they just need to grind harder, eat less, and suffer through strict plans to get results.
Not here.
We teach you how to train smart, nourish your body, and build a lifestyle that honors both your health and your faith.
No starvation. No cookie-cutter programs. No shame.
Just real results built on:
A flexible, proven nutrition strategy
Customized, progressive training plans
Faith-based coaching that transforms more than just your body
At Thrive, we don’t just coach workouts and macros—we coach men to lead stronger lives.
Physically. Mentally. Spiritually.
And if you keep doing what you’re doing?
You’ll likely stay stuck in the same cycle—fatigue, frustration, and a body that doesn’t reflect the man you want to be. Years will pass… and nothing will change—unless you take action now.
Your breakthrough is one decision away.

Meet Our Coaches
Meet Coach Thomas
I haven’t always been the man I am today.
In the past I battled addiction, binge eating, laziness, and a lifestyle that left me feeling stuck, ashamed, and unfulfilled. I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not like what you see—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally too.
But by the grace of God, everything changed.
Through years of discipline, faith, and guidance, I rebuilt my life. I developed a strong body, a healthy relationship with food, and a mindset rooted in purpose. I’m no longer enslaved to the things that once held me down. I wake up every day proud of the man I’ve become—physically strong, spiritually grounded, and clear in my mission.
That mission?
To help other men experience the same freedom.
I coach men to get in the best shape of their lives—inside and out. I carry multiple certifications, thousands of hours of coaching experience, and a system that delivers results. But more importantly, I bring my heart, my testimony, and my full commitment to seeing you win.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from your purpose… I’m here to help.
Let’s build a body you’re proud of, habits that serve your future, and a life that glorifies God.
Let’s Thrive together.
Meet Coach Dan
Transformation Coach | Nutrition Mentor | Overcomer
I believe fitness isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about freedom. It’s about finding the thing you love doing so health becomes something you enjoy — not just another box to check. That’s where sustainability lives. That’s where purpose begins.
I haven’t always been this way — in fact, I used to weigh 275 pounds. I didn’t enjoy eating good foods, walking, or working out. I know what it’s like to feel stuck. To feel like you’ll never change. But by God’s mercy and grace, I did — and now I help other men do the same.
I overcame drug, alcohol, and food addiction. I lost over 100 pounds. I’ve since rebuilt my foundation and body, earned multiple certifications, and logged thousands of hours coaching men just like you. I’m an avid runner and lifter and enjoy hitting PR’s in the gym just as much as I do running in the mountains. But none of that means as much to me as seeing someone truly transform — inside and out.
My approach combines physical training with mindset work and spiritual growth, because real change doesn’t come from willpower alone — it comes from alignment.
Some men start for the physical results.
Most stay for the mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs.
If you’re ready for a transformation that actually lasts, I’m here to help you build it.
All Glory to God. Let’s Thrive Together.

Truly care about all of their clients. They not only motivate but really hold you accountable! Really understands everyone’s situation is different and customizes to fit your work/life balances.Posted on Google Vizual “Mister H” Rhythm Thomas of THPFit is the real deal. He lives by the things he teaches. If you are looking for a supportive and empowering coaching process, look no further but for Thrive Coaching Academy!Posted on Google Don Turner I honestly can't say enough good things about the TCA and coach Dan. I've been actively involved in the gym for the better part of 2 decades, but unfortunately COVID, job changes and life just getting in the way, I lost my drive for the gym and put on weight. Sound familiar? I don't exactly remember what instagram video it was but Dan happened to be on my feed and after watching the video I had commented that I would like to know more. And that was how easy it was for me to get involved. We started just with some nutritional counseling and getting me into tracking food. Dan is great, understanding while still being firm and holding you accountable. The app TCA has developed is phenomenal. It works with fitness trackers and food tracking apps as well as has awesome infrastructure for workouts, tutorial videos as well as integrating chat functionality and community groups. Dan and Thomas are the real deal, they strive to help their clients succeed and avail themselves to their clients. I'm down about 30 pounds since starting, still got more to go but I know with Dan's support I'll get to where I want to be in my fitness journey. Working with TCA has helped my relight my fitness pilot light. 10/10 recommend.Posted on Google Michael Brant I’ve had the pleasure of working with Thomas Padilla for over 10 years, from his days as a trainer at 24 Hour Fitness to the launch of his own business, and now into his evolution as an online coach with Thrive Coaching Academy. Throughout our journey together, I’ve always felt empowered, supported, and truly understood. But Thomas also knows when to hold you accountable and call you out when needed—something I deeply appreciate. Working with Thomas is three parts fitness and nutrition coaching and one part therapy. Under his guidance, I’ve learned to live a healthier lifestyle, achieved the lightest weight of my adult life, and still enjoyed the foods I love—just in moderation. If you’re looking to live a healthier lifestyle, become your best self, and THRIVE, I highly recommend Thomas and Thrive Coaching Academy.Posted on Google David Lopez This is the 2nd time around I have gone to Thomas for help getting back onto a routine! He’s always on top of holding me accountable with my workouts and with nutrition! You have to want to put in the work, but he’s there to guide you every step of the way!Posted on Google Ceidy Cabrera I started my journey with Coach Thomas and Coach Dan from Thrive Coaching Academy about 6 months ago. After menopause, I found it difficult to keep the weight off, especially in the midsection. Coach Thomas and Coach Dan provided me with the right workouts and the proper nutrition. I love that they don’t just focus on physical training, but also nutrition and mental health. They keep you accountable and provide you with the best resources to help you achieve your goals. Thanks to them, I'm on my way to being the best version of myself. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to guide you in your health and fitness goals. They are the BEST!Posted on Google Joe Kheder Very energetic, determined and gets goals achieved. Highly ecommend them.Posted on Google Barney Connaughton Thomas, Coach Dan and the Thrive Coaching Academy are the best option out there to help you in meeting your health goals. Thomas helped my son tackle health challenges through holding him accountable and providing him with a great plan. Look no further for an awesome fitness coach.Posted on Google Daniel Castaneda I had an amazing experience with the Thrive Coaching Academy! Not only did I lose weight and gain muscle but I also learned practical healthy eating habits. My favorite quote from Coach Thomas Padilla that helped me with meal prep and working out was: "If you don't prepare, you prepare for failure". Thanks TCA!Load more
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
You’ve tried going it alone—relying on willpower, motivation, and guesswork.
But real, lasting change happens when you’re supported, guided, and held accountable by someone who’s been where you are… and knows the path forward.
It’s time to stop spinning your wheels and start building a life you’re proud of.
With the right coaching, structure, and faith-driven support, you’re just one decision away from a body you love, energy that lasts all day, and a mindset anchored in purpose.
You’re not far off. In just 7 days, you could wake up feeling energized, motivated, and back in control.
It’s time to step into discipline.
It’s time to transform your body and health.
It’s time to Thrive.
FAQ's
Not as much as you think—and we build the plan around your life.
Most of our guys train just 30–45 minutes per session, 3 to 4 times per week. That’s it.
You don’t need hours in the gym or daily two-a-days. You need a proven system, efficient workouts, and consistency.
Whether you’ve got 15 minutes or a full hour, we’ll design a plan that fits your schedule—and gets results.
This program is built for real men with real responsibilities. Faith, family, business—we help you stay dialed in without sacrificing what matters most.
While we generally recommend training at a gym—because it provides access to a full range of equipment and the ability to maximize your transformation—you don’t need a gym to get results.
One of the strengths of this program is flexibility.
If you’re training at home, we can build a custom plan using whatever you’ve got—whether it’s bodyweight, resistance bands, dumbbells, or a simple setup in your garage. We’ll meet you where you’re at and still get you strong, lean, and consistent.
It’s not about perfect conditions—it’s about having the right strategy.
That’s actually one of the things we prepare you for.
Whether it’s business trips, family vacations, or weekend getaways, we’ll show you how to stay on track without sacrificing your results or your experience.
Inside the program, you’ll learn how to adapt your workouts, navigate restaurants, manage your nutrition, and stay consistent—anywhere. We’ll equip you with the tools, skills, and confidence to handle life outside of routine.
Because this isn’t about being perfect—this is about building a lifestyle that travels with you.
That’s totally fine.
Whether you’re fully plant-based or just leaning that way, we’ll customize your nutrition strategy to match your preferences while still hitting your goals.
This program isn’t about forcing you into a specific diet—it’s about teaching you how to fuel your body in a way that works for you. That includes hitting your protein targets, managing portions, and building meals that support fat loss, muscle gain, and energy—all while staying true to your values.
No matter your diet style, we’ll make it work.
No problem at all.
Your nutrition plan is fully customized to work with your body—not against it. Whether it’s dairy, gluten, eggs, or anything else, we’ll build a strategy that avoids your trigger foods while still helping you hit your goals.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all meal plan. It’s a tailored approach that respects your needs, preferences, and health. You’ll never be told to eat something that doesn’t sit right with you.
We focus on freedom, not restriction—and part of that means helping you feel your best while fueling your body the right way.
Not strict at all—but it is structured.
This isn’t a “clean eating only” program or some rigid meal plan you’ll hate in two weeks. You’ll learn how to eat in a way that’s flexible, enjoyable, and sustainable—while still making consistent progress toward your goals.
Yes, we’ll set calorie and protein targets… but you’ll still enjoy things like burgers, pizza, or ice cream in moderation. It’s not about cutting foods out—it’s about learning how to make them fit.
You won’t feel like you’re “on a diet.”
You’ll feel in control—and finally free from food guilt.
We recommend weighing in daily—but not to obsess over the number.
Daily weigh-ins allow us to track your weekly average, which gives us reliable data to assess fat loss (typically 1–2 pounds per week). One-off weigh-ins can be misleading due to water weight and normal fluctuations, so consistency helps us make smarter adjustments to keep you progressing.
There’s also a mental component.
What gets measured gets improved—and daily tracking helps keep your goals top of mind, improving discipline and decision-making throughout the day.
This isn’t about perfection or pressure.
It’s about building awareness, consistency, and results that last.
Yes—you can still enjoy alcohol in moderation.
This program is built for real life, not perfection. If you enjoy the occasional drink, we’ll show you how to factor it into your nutrition plan without sabotaging your progress.
That said, we’ll always keep it honest: alcohol can slow down fat loss, impact recovery, and affect energy. So the goal is balance and intentionality, not restriction or guilt.
You’ll learn how to manage social situations, weekends, and celebrations while staying aligned with your goals—because freedom with discipline leads to results that last.
