WHAT MAKES BODY BY BART DIFFERENT
IFBB PRO & FOUNDER OF BODY BY BART
Bart Tompkins began his bodybuilding journey at 17 years old, stacking eight years of true in-the-trenches experience before ever stepping into the coaching spotlight. From day one, he committed not just to training hard, but to studying the sport at an elite level, diving into biomechanics, nutrition, recovery, programming, and mentorship from some of the top minds in bodybuilding.
Since January 2023, Bart has been mentored directly by Dom Kuza, one of the most respected coaches in the industry. Dom’s guidance has been instrumental in shaping Bart not only as an athlete, but as a leader, raising the standard for how a coach should care, communicate, and deliver results. After five years of relentless work, personal development, and total commitment to mastery, Bart earned his IFBB Pro Card in the Men’s Bodybuilding division in 2022.
THE MISSION: IMPACT OVER EVERYTHING
Bart’s mission is simple: Change lives by helping people become the strongest, healthiest, and most confident versions of themselves, physically and mentally.
This isn’t just coaching.
This is a culture.
A family.
A community built on standards, support, and shared growth.
Body By Bart is built on the belief that:
- There is room at the top for everyone.
- The journey is better when you’re surrounded by people who want to see you win.
- A true coach doesn’t just guide you, he walks with you.
- WHAT MAKES BODY BY BART DIFFERENT
1. A TRUE FAMILY CULTURE & NOT A ROSTER OF CLIENTS
Bart created a coaching environment where athletes never feel alone.
Clients are welcomed into a highly engaged, supportive community that includes:
- A daily group chat where everyone motivates, learns, and grows together
- Frequent team lifts and bonding events (Top Golf is a team favorite)
- Teammates showing up at shows, even when they’re not competing
- A culture of celebrating wins, sharing struggles, and pushing one another to be better
This community has become the gold standard for what support in fitness should look like.
2. ELITE-LEVEL EDUCATION & MENTORSHIP
Bart continues to learn under Dom Kuza, one of the best minds in bodybuilding coaching.
He also invests consistently in continued education to refine:
- Training methodology
- Nutrition periodization
- Peak week and contest prep execution
- Post-show recovery protocols
- Athlete psychology and communication
Your coach should evolve just as much as you do. Bart embodies that.
3. CARE, COMMUNICATION & COACHING DONE RIGHT
What truly separates Bart is not just knowledge, it’s care.
He believes in:
- 24/7 communication
- Direct, honest, high-level feedback
- A no-ego, athlete-first approach
- A commitment to doing whatever it takes to help you win, on and off the stage
Bart treats every athlete like their goals are his own.
4. RESULTS BUILT ON STANDARDS, NOT SHORTCUTS
Whether you’re a first-time competitor, lifestyle client, or national level athlete, you get:
- Customized programming
- Data & Experience driven decision making
- Clear weekly direction
- Structure, accountability, and mentorship
- A roadmap tailored to your physiology, mindset, and goals
No copy & paste coaching. No shortcuts. No guesswork.
THE VISION MOVING FORWARD
Body By Bart is more than a coaching service, it’s a movement built on leadership, education, and genuine human connection.
Bart’s goal is to grow a world-class team of athletes and lifestyle clients who:
- Refuse to settle
- Hold themselves to championship-level standards
- Inspire the people around them
- Treat the journey like a privilege, not a burden
And most importantly, understand that this isn’t just about a better body, but a better mindset, lifestyle, & having a quality lifespan.
