Former Olympic Trainee Creates a Gym Where Trainers and Clients Excel

- Ivy Marie

Hard work on a farm in Iowa — that is what Tom Green, former Olympic trainee and now founder and owner of GreenSpeed Training Facility, attributes his success to as one of the top coaches and personal trainers in Chula Vista, California.

Green may be more than a thousand miles away from his hometown of Hornick, Iowa, but he has carried his Midwest values with him all through his life, from being a star high school athlete that led to his stellar college career as one of the top sprinters at the University of South Dakota. That further led to his training days for the 2004 Olympics in track and field. Today, he now coaches a variety of clients, including professional athletes, rising high school stars, and anyone who is just looking to improve themselves.

“I had worked out of a variety of gyms from 2004 to 2015, but my client base and their needs for sports performance training outgrew the space I was in at the time,” said Green. “I made the risky and uncomfortable decision to leave where I was ‘comfortable’ and create my own vision for a dream gym where personal trainers and our clients could excel. The GreenSpeed Training Facility was founded in 2015, and it's been the greatest decision of my personal training and coaching career.”
