Group Training

Perfect for broad, mid- to long-term goals like weight loss, strength and conditioning for sports and life, and healthy aging.

What to expect

Structured, progressive programming

You wouldn’t take lessons from a piano teacher who showed up with a different instrument every day or advice from a financial planner who changed your investment strategy at each meeting. Likewise, you shouldn’t expect your performance coach to guide you through exercise regimens that lack session-to-session continuity.

That’s why we structure each day’s training to fit into a larger plan that ebbs and flows from week to week and month to month. Each session provides the consistency needed to nudge your mobility, strength, and endurance capabilities forward and enough variability to keep things interesting.

Human movement can be broadly broken down into a few categories—pushing, pulling, squatting, hinging, rotating, and carrying.

We not only write training programs that regularly incorporate all of those movements, but also offer comparable alternatives when you’re unable to do a planned exercise for any reason.

Our members and coaches have a variety of backgrounds, interests, and goals. But we all happily support each other in our individual pursuits—cheering after successes, lifting up after setbacks, and providing accountability throughout the process.

So whether you’re training to lose a few (or a hundred) pounds, run a 5k, climb a mountain, hike 60+ miles through the woods in the middle of winter, break a world record, or anything in between, you’ll have an army of TNT friends at both your back and your side.

Getting started

We offer a variety of options for getting started with group training—all based on your prior experience and goals.

You can learn the basics in one of three primary ways. Similar material is covered in each type of session, although to varying depths.

Regardless of the method you choose, you’ll learn and practice enough technique to safely participate in ongoing group training sessions:

  1. Attend a group introductory session on the first or third Wednesday of each month (45 minutes).
  2. Schedule a private introductory session Monday – Saturday (45 minutes).
  3. Attend a quarterly Kettlebell 101 workshop (4 hours).

After you’ve attended one of these sessions, the final step is to set up an introductory membership from the tab below—or at the gym following the completion of the intro session.

There are three different introductory memberships to choose from.

Each of them:

  • Continues for six weeks.
  • Can be used to attend group training, Brazilian jiu jitsu, or a combination of the two.
  • Includes the use of our infrared saunas and showers before or after training.
  • Can be placed on hold for illness, travel, etc.

Why six weeks, and why not a free drop-in class like many other gyms offer? For two primary reasons:

First, six weeks is long enough to see progress but short enough that you hopefully won’t feel locked in for the long-term if you decide our style of training isn’t your thing.

Second, since the difficulty of our training program ebbs and flows—a format which produces great long-term results—we prefer that you make a decision about ongoing training after experiencing that fluctuation instead of after a single session which, by definition, won’t be indicative of the whole.

† If you strictly want to learn how to use kettlebells safely and effectively, attend a Kettlebell 101 workshop.

FAQs

Group training is designed to improve your strength, conditioning, movement quality, and overall physical capacity in a sustainable way. Rather than chasing exhaustion for its own sake, the goal is steady progress across multiple qualities that support both performance and long-term health.

Many members notice improvements in how strong and capable they feel, along with increased confidence in how they move through daily life and recreational activities. Changes in body composition may also follow as a byproduct of consistent training—and nutritional tweaks—rather than as the sole focus of it.

Because training is progressive and adaptable, results tend to accumulate over months (and years) rather than spike and plateau after a few intense weeks.

Group training is a good fit for people who want to train with purpose rather than just “get a workout.” It’s designed for those who value consistency, coaching, and steady progress across strength, conditioning, and movement quality.

Our members encompass a wide range of ages and backgrounds—from older adults focused on staying strong and capable, to current and former athletes, to people returning to training after long periods of inactivity or pursuing weight loss goals. What they share isn’t a starting point, but a willingness to learn, practice, and progress over time.

If you’re open to scalable training, thoughtful programming, and being coached within a supportive environment, group training is likely a strong fit—regardless of where you’re starting.

No. The majority of people we coach had never touched a kettlebell before training with us, and many didn’t consider themselves particularly strong or coordinated at the outset.

Our programs are built around clear instruction, scalable exercises, and practical coaching tools that help people learn safely and progressively—regardless of starting point. As long as you’re able to move independently and participate in the training sessions, we can adapt the details to meet you where you are and help you progress safely.

Group training follows a structured, progressive plan designed to build strength, conditioning, and movement skill over time—not just provide a different workout each day.

Training is organized into longer blocks that allow you to practice key movements, gradually encounter increased demands, and see meaningful progress. Within that structure, individual sessions vary just enough to keep things engaging while still reinforcing the same underlying skills and qualities.

Because everyone enters with different experience levels, exercises and loading are scaled as needed. Early on, the focus is often on learning technique and building consistency; as experience increases, progression becomes more precise and intentional. This approach allows people to join at any time while still benefiting from a thoughtful, long-term training plan.

Most fitness classes prioritize variety and intensity—often changing workouts frequently to keep things novel or exhausting. While that can feel challenging in the moment, it usually doesn’t lead to consistent, long-term progress.

Group training at TNT is built around coaching, progression, and skill development. Sessions are connected to a larger plan, exercises are scaled to the individual, and the goal is steady improvement in strength, conditioning, and movement quality over time—not just how tired you feel at the end of a session.

In short, this isn’t entertainment-driven fitness. It’s a coached training environment designed to help you become more capable, resilient, and confident in your physical abilities.

Group training sessions last 45 minutes and follow a simple, consistent structure designed to prepare your body, focus your effort, and reinforce good movement habits.

Sessions begin with a brief warm-up that emphasizes mobility and movement preparation relevant to the day’s training. This is followed by a focused training segment where we work on strength, conditioning, or skill development in line with the current program. Then we finish with some brief ab work as a cool-down before wrapping up.

Throughout the session, coaches provide direction and offer modifications as needed so you can train safely and effectively—regardless of experience level. The goal is for you to leave feeling worked, capable, and better prepared for the next session, not beaten down or confused about what just happened.

That depends on your goals, your current activity level, and what you can realistically maintain over time.

Training twice per week is enough to improve strength and endurance—especially if you’re also active outside the gym. Higher frequencies can accelerate progress, but consistency matters far more than short-term intensity.

For most people, training three times per week strikes a good balance between making steady progress and allowing for recovery. It’s also the option we most commonly recommend if training with us will be your primary form of exercise.

Kettlebells are our primary training tool and a core specialty at TNT. They’re versatile, efficient, and exceptionally well-suited for building strength, conditioning, and movement skill when used correctly.

That said, we’re not limited to kettlebells alone. Depending on the goal and the phase of training, we also incorporate barbells (most commonly for deadlifts), bodyweight exercises, Indian clubs, medicine balls, and conditioning tools like rowers or SkiErgs.

The common thread isn’t the equipment itself, but using the right tool for the intended outcome—while staying consistent with our emphasis on sound movement, progression, and long-term development.

Group training memberships are based on the number of sessions per week you plan to attend. You can choose between two, three, or unlimited sessions per week, depending on your goals and schedule.

Memberships are billed weekly, which makes them easy to manage and simple to place on hold for things like illness or travel. For those who plan to train with us over the long term, we offer discounted options for extended commitments. We also offer a couple’s discount for partners who both train with us.

Rather than locking you into a rigid structure, the goal is to offer flexible options that support consistency over time while rewarding long-term commitment when it makes sense.

Yes. In fact, some members find that combining the two works very well.

Group training often serves as the foundation for physical training, while private coaching is used to address more specific goals—things like refining technique, improving nutrition, or developing mental skills and habits that support long-term progress. Rather than simply adding more training sessions, private coaching is typically used to add clarity, focus, and guidance where it’s most needed.

The combination allows you to benefit from the structure and community of group training while still receiving individualized support for the areas that matter most to you.
