TOM FREARSON
Founder & Head Coach

Tom founded Be Fearsome following a career in the Royal Marines & Hostile Security Consultancy, where resilience, leadership and accountability were non-negotiable.

​

What began as outdoor training evolved into a structured group spanning leadership development, experiential events, performance coaching and outdoor conditioning.

​

Tom’s work now sits across all four Be Fearsome brands.

​

He is the architect of the C8 leadership framework and leads delivery within Be Fearsome Leadership. Through Be Fearsome Events, he designs experiential challenges that test teams under pressure. Within Be Fearsome Performance, he works across physical conditioning, endurance coaching, nutrition and resilience. And through Be Fearsome Outdoors, he continues to build capability through shared discomfort and disciplined training.

​

His qualifications and professional background include:

​

• Royal Marines Commando

• Private Security Consultant & Close Protection Operator in high-risk environments

• ICF & IoL Certified Leadership Coach

• City leadership exposure and corporate advisory work

• Mountain Leader

• Master Personal Trainer & S&C Coach

• ​Nutrition, Sleep, Stress & Recovery Coach

• Triathlon and Ironman Coach

​

Tom’s philosophy is simple:

Lead Self First.

Build resilience through experience.

Operate to professional standards.

Be Fearsome is not built around personality.

It is built around standards.
