Tommy Europe is the no-nonsense drill sergeant and host of The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp, airing Tuesdays at 8pm ET/PT beginning March 6 on Slice^TM.

Tommy is one of the country's most sought-after personal trainers, whose modus operandi is a tough-love, in-your-face approach. "Pain is just weakness leaving the body", says Tommy, who was voted Vancouver's Best Personal Trainer in a 2006 readers' poll conducted by the Georgia Straight newspaper.

Tommy earned his credentials in the school of very hard knocks. A professional football player, he starred as a defensive back in the CFL where his bone-crushing tackles earned him a reputation as one of the leagues' hardest hitters. The highlight of his 11-year career came in 1994 when he won the Grey Cup as a member of the BC Lions.

"My style as a personal trainer is definitely rooted in my experience as a football player. If you work hard, we'll get along. If not, you'll probably wish we hadn't met", says Tommy.
