Our Founders
Meet the founders of 1st Class Bootcamp.
Tom Brown, Founder + head trainer
Tom is the founder and driving force behind 1st Class Bootcamp, a global leader in luxury fitness retreats that has redefined the wellness travel experience. What began as a single location has evolved into a worldwide brand with five destinations and over 1,000 clients welcomed - each retreat combining world-class coaching, transformative results, and an unforgettable experience.
With nearly a decade in the fitness industry, Tom has built more than a brand - he’s built a movement that’s changing how people approach health, mindset and lifestyle transformation. His expertise and entrepreneurial vision have positioned 1st Class Bootcamp as one of the most recognised names in the fitness retreat space, featured in major outlets such as Men’s Health, Women’s Health, sheerluxe, GQ, the Stylist and many more.
From training celebrities, top athletes and CEOs to leading one of the fastest-growing wellness brands globally, Tom’s mission remains the same: to empower people to achieve their potential - both physically and mentally - through world-class coaching and life-changing experiences.
