I am Terrance J, better known as Big T, founder of Terrance J Fitness and the coach behind Winner's Circle. For the past two years I have helped people discover what they are capable of through training, starting from my own fitness transformation. My focus is women's fitness: strength training, body recomposition, glute development and building confidence. I believe great coaching takes listening, meeting people where they are and a plan that fits their real lives.

The Story
From a personal transformation to coaching.
Terrance Thompson's coaching started with a personal fitness transformation. Once Terrance experienced what committing to self could do, the goal became helping others create that same kind of change. For the past two years, Terrance has coached as the founder of Terrance J Fitness and the coach behind Winner's Circle, known to clients as Big T.
Outside the gym, Terrance enjoys skating, staying active, listening to music and cooking, and describes themself as a big foodie and a family guy, so connection and good energy matter in every part of life.
Women's Fitness
Women's strength training in Long Beach.
Terrance's focus is women's fitness, especially strength training, body recomposition, glute development and building confidence. The belief behind it is that women deserve more than workouts designed around a number on the scale: they deserve to understand their bodies, build lasting strength and develop habits that support health and longevity.
Looking good is a great benefit, Terrance says, but feeling strong, capable and empowered in everyday life matters just as much. See how women's training, bodybuilding and body recomposition and strength and conditioning are organized across Trinity.
Credentials & Approach
Certified, and a coach who listens.
Terrance brings certifications in personal training, nutrition, group personal training, strength and conditioning and core specialization to the work. Terrance is a certified personal trainer and coach, not a medical provider or a licensed dietitian, so talk to your doctor before starting a new program, especially with an injury or a health condition.
Credentials are only part of it. Great coaching, in Terrance's view, takes listening, paying attention, meeting people where they are and building a plan that fits their goals and real lives. No two women walk into the gym with the same story, so Terrance does not give everyone the same approach.
What You Get
More than a workout: guidance, community and accountability.
Training with Terrance includes guidance with mindset, nutrition, lifestyle habits, progress tracking and accountability, plus energy, community and encouragement. Terrance will challenge you, celebrate your wins and help you stay consistent even when life gets busy.
The work is hard and it is fun, and that balance is a big part of the Big T experience. The goal is for you to feel supported, informed and proud of your progress. Sessions take place on The Floor.
A Proud Moment
Watching a client recognize her own progress.
One of Terrance's proudest coaching moments was watching a client who wanted to develop her shape get significantly stronger and steadily build the physique she wanted. Seeing her recognize her own progress is a reminder of why personalized coaching and genuine support matter. Every client's journey is different, and results vary.
How Terrance Coaches
Personal, group and online coaching.
Terrance offers personal training, group training and online coaching through Winner's Circle, so you can train in person, in a group or remotely. If you are ready to build strength, confidence and healthier habits, the first step is a conversation about your goals to find a starting point that works for you.

Training With Terrance
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
AT TRINITY.
Strength is the foundation everything else stacks on. Trinity's strength & conditioning trainers build athletes, professionals, and lifelong residents who want to move heavy, recover hard, and keep doing it for decades.
01
ASSESSMENT FIRST
Movement screen, training history, current lifts. Your trainer builds the program around your body — not a template they hand to every client.
02
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD THAT HOLDS UP
Programmed cycles with deloads built in. You'll see the numbers move week over week without burning out.
03
CONDITIONING THAT DOESN'T KILL YOUR LIFTS
Energy-system work paired with strength training, not against it. Capacity grows. Recovery improves. Strength stays.
04
TRAINING ON THE FLOOR
Hands-on cues, video review, real-time form correction. Every session has a trainer who's watching.
Who Terrance’s clients tend to be
- Lifters chasing real PRs — not gym numbers
- Athletes whose sport demands repeatable power
- Professionals returning to the iron after years away
- Anyone tired of training without a program
