My story

My life didn’t start in a gym. It started when everything fell apart.

Tommy as a child in Portugal

01 · A SMALL TOWN IN PORTUGAL

I’m Tomé. Everyone calls me Tommy. As a kid I was overweight and bullied all the time.

Tommy as a teenager

02 · THE OTHER EXTREME

As a teenager I developed an eating disorder and dropped to 59 kg. I went from being the fat kid to being the kid nobody recognised.

Tommy at 18

03 · 18

I fell into a deep depression. I left school, left home and felt disconnected from everything.

04 · 19

I tried business school and gave up on myself one more time. With everything falling apart, I walked into a local gym to numb the pain. Training gave me something I’d never had: structure, and something to hold on to.

05 · COACHING

I got my degree so I could help other people do what I’d done. From 21 to 23 I built a client base of more than 30 people in Portugal.

06 · 24

Married, a new home in Lisbon, a daughter. Doing well for a regular guy in Portugal, and I knew I could provide more for my family.

07 · DUBAI, ALONE

I moved on my own. From sharing a home with my family to a partitioned room shared with 12 strangers, with barely enough space to open the door.

08 · 27

I joined one of the largest personal training companies in the world, delivered consistent results and earned multiple promotions.

09 · 29 · BODY TRANSFORMATION DUBAI

I built my own coaching business on consistency and real progress. Two of the clients I coached there believed in it enough to invest in what came next.

10 · 31 · EVOLVE

We opened EVOLVE in Cayan Tower on 16 March 2026, in one of the most uncertain weeks this region has seen. We opened anyway.

It’s the studio I needed at 19: private, structured and built around the person in front of you. A plan, a coach who knows exactly where you started, and progress you can measure.

Five steps. Every client.

  1. 01

    Audit

    Training, nutrition and recovery written around your schedule and goal.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Private 1:1 sessions with your coach, in a quiet studio.

  4. 04

    Tracking

    Checkpoints every two weeks and weekly accountability.

  5. 05

    Adjustments

    The plan changes when the numbers move, or when your week does.

Douwe training at EVOLVE

★★★★★

“I am 61 years old and dropped close to 15 kg in less than 10 weeks.”

The team, location, dedication, professionalism, physical and mental support has been absolutely amazing. For the first time in my life, I am on my way to a 6-pack.
