I joined TNT looking to add some variety to my typical gym routine for a few months. Like seriously, I told myself I would only do Swift for 3 months. What I found was a community of people who encourage, support, and motivate each other to achieve their personal best in health and fitness. The coaches meet each of us at our personal fitness level and push just enough to build confidence and drive improvement. My classmates, who I actually consider teammates, inspire me and others by showing what’s possible and shouting words of encouragement during a tough workout, which are most of the workouts.

My workouts are an anchor in my life, and with TNT I’ve taken them to a new leve...

Athlete is definitely not a word I would have used to describe myself for most of my life. In fact, I’m pretty sure I wanted to quit through the whole warm-up of my first Swift class and I definitely never thought I’d find myself in a CrossFit class. But four years later and I can say I am in the best shape of my life. When I started at TNT, the gym was something I felt like I had to do but now I can say I truly enjoy and look forward to it in my day. That wouldn’t be possible without all the coaches, especially Courtney who’s been helping me crush goals, and the amazing community of support we have at TNT.

Thank you so much for the nomination!! It’s pretty cool to be the recipient of Athlete of The Month… I’ve been coming to the gym for about a year & a half & to say this place has changed my life would be an understatement. I love being apart of such a positive/uplifting environment with super friendly individuals by my side. A special thanks to Ashley & all of the coaches at the gym for being great at what they do & helping not only me have a better quality of life, but everyone in the gym have a better one as well.

Wow! This is so exciting for a Crossfit junkie like me. I first began my Crossfit obsession in Fall 2015 after plantar fasciitis rendered my running career impossible to keep up with anymore. I joined Iron Wolf Crossfit in Columbia at the encouragement of my roommate and the rest is history. It was there that I made the most wonderful friends and developed lifelong relationships (including meeting my husband, Taylor 😊). After finishing my PhD at Mizzou, Taylor and I moved to St. Charles so that I could continue with a fellowship at WashU. We are beyond lucky to have found the most incredible gym in TNT just up the street from our house in New Town. What a wonderful community to have so cl...

When I walked in to TNT a few years ago and met Oscar, I was looking for a change but I didn’t know how to do it.

My workouts were just lifting weights, with no programming, direction, or motivation.
I started personal training with Oscar and saw results in my mobility, flexibility, balance. We worked on strength, lifting mechanics and endurance. This eventually led me to be comfortable enough to try Olympic lifting classes. (My age plus 3 back surgeries had me thinking Olympic lifting wasn’t for me).
And I competed in my first weightlifting meet last month (and hit all 6 of my lifts).

Because my overall health had improved,
I have even been motivated to participate in Swift classes...
