Veohtu is owned and run by me, Thomas Solomon, PhD. I use up-to-date scientific evidence combined with years of empirical observation to provide tailor-made training to help people achieve their fitness goals, while enriching their knowledge along the way. My expertise has been honed following more than 10 years advising and coaching in athletic performance and lifestyle change plus over 15 years of academic research at world-leading universities and hospitals. I also have 20+ years of experience in competing at a high level in running, cycling, and obstacle course racing. I have a PhD in Exercise Science and have published more than 80 peer-reviewed publications in medical journals. I am also an ACSM-certified Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-EP), an ACSM-certified Personal Trainer (ACSM-CPT), a VDOT-certified Distance Running Coach, and a Registered Nutritionist. I have the experience, expertise, and proven track-record to boost your fitness no matter whether you are a weekend warrior or a seasoned athlete. With my personal experience of middle-distance track racing (800m to 10,000m), road racing (5 km to Marathon), trail running, mountain running, and obstacle course racing (OCR), I truly understand what it is like to train and compete in these disciplines—I have literally “been there, done it, and gotten sweat, mud, and tears on my t-shirt”.

"I have helped hundreds of people achieve their fitness goals. ​Use my approaches and training philosophies to help achieve yours."
