Thomas Lilley
Founder of ZeroW
I created ZeroW to help others find a greater purpose through strength. I started coaching in 2012 and quickly learned that I had to figure things out on my own. Being fascinated with problem-solving human movement, I quickly became really good at making people strong. In 2018, I began mentoring other coaches, which allowed me to systemise my methodology, and expand from 1 gym to 11 gyms between 2020 and 2026.
As of 2026, ZeroW has 11 gyms in 3 countries, an equipment company making world-class powerlifting equipment, over 1500 satisfied clients, and coaches some of the best lifters on the planet.
Frequently asked questions
Freedom is a combination of coaching and education. Everything happens on the Skool platform. Once you’re in, you’ll be prompted to fill out a questionnaire so your personalised program can be designed.
Once you’ve received your program, you’ll upload your videos and any questions for review in the group. Thomas will come through the group multiple times per week and provide feedback on your lifting in front of the group to encourage co-learning. You’ll have access to hours of course materials to enhance your learning.
After 3 months, you’ll also have access to programming resources to start writing your own programming, which can be reviewed to enhance your learning. Freedom is coaching done-with-you. Over time, you’ll be seeking feedback on your own thoughts and observations rather than waiting for it from an expert. You will become the expert. At that point, you can graduate and leave the program, or stay on board at a discounted price.
YES — it will be directly from Thomas. He’s the only coach who will be presenting and writing programs in the group. No AI will be allowed.
Of course! This is for any lifter who is interested in learning more about the training process and the underlying principles.
Yes. Powerlifting is just general strength training principles applied to 3 specific lifts. You will get more out of this program than any other one out there.
