I’ve enjoyed working with Taylor the last year, the premises are simple but TNT strength does a good job with variety to keep things simple and encourage you to do the work to build strength and improve fitness.
Exercise can be difficult partly because figuring out what works for you takes effort that most people understandably don't have the bandwidth or time for. At TNT, that problem is solved. You'll get an efficient workout where a trainer gives you *their* full attention and motivation for 30 minutes (don't worry--that will feel longer that it sounds, lol). The TNT crew tracks your stats to see how and when to progress you, all while cheering you on. Their system is clear--and honestly, comforting; I appreciated being able to just focus on the movements while Jesse coached me and threw in a joke when I wasn't sure I could do that last rep. :)If you find strength training mysterious, or you feel fit but want additional gains that you can work into your already packed schedule, try a workout at TNT!
Over the last 4 years ago, I gained approximately 35 pounds and have struggled to get back in shape. I’ve tried working out on my own, but could not keep up with a consistent routine. I finally decided to join TNT Strength about 3 months ago, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. I don’t have a lot of extra time in my schedule with work in mental, sports officiating (referee for basketball and lacrosse), keeping up with home duties, and trying to have a little fun. Taylor has been flexible with my schedule and training at my pace, is supportive, encouraging, pushes me to my limits, and provides valuable information to assist me with reaching my goals. There is never too many people in the gym at the same time, which allows more personal one-on-one focus and we are able to choose our own music while working out. The other trainers, Liam and Jesse are also super welcoming, friendly and supportive. Affordable training sessions in a clean and safe environment with good people, who want to help you reach your full potential and my husband and I are in and out in less than an hour each session. What more could a girl who doesn’t even like to workout ask for?
Best workout regimen of my life - sustainable, productive, affordable, and easy. The team is great. It’s never too crowded. I’m in and out in 30 minutes feeling energized for the rest of my day.
I wanted a strength work out that would be complementary to my running and they designed it for me. I really like being coached at TNT. A 30’ 1:1 work out at TNT is very effective. It is also a friendly andinclusive environment. The trainers are very experienced and supportive.I like that’s it’s super clean, not packed and can pick your music. I will keep going!
So enjoying my first month at TNT fitness! It’s been 30 years since I did strength training (I’m 68). Easy to park, and 30 minutes in and out twice a week - efficient! Nutrition counseling in the package too! I’ll send another review at the end of my 12 week series with results - I know they will be positive!
Only great things to say about TNT. I’ve been working with Jesse for about two months and I’ve definitely gotten stronger. I’m just getting back into exercising after a long time so it’s been important to me that Jesse always takes me where I am with no judgment—only encouragement and support. He pushes me but he knows just how hard to push (and it turns out that I can do a lot more than I ever thought I could!). And throughout, he’s super careful about making sure that I do everything safely. He’s also very knowledgeable so I’ve learned a lot too. When I first reached out to TNT, I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to work with a trainer, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I work primarily with Jesse who is awesome, but Liam and Taylor are great too. Definitely recommend.
I've been going to TNT for a few months now. This is my first experience with a personal trainer and it's been overwhelmingly positive. All the trainers are lovely to work with and extremely personable. They are all fonts of information on fitness and nutrition and will gladly answer questions and share thoughts on best practices and how to approach your personal fitness plan. The gym is always clean and there's never been more than one other client there at any given time, so it always feels very comfortable. Highly recommend!!!
Never much into going to the gym, I look forward to it now that it only takes a half hour! Liam has tailored my workouts to meet my specific goals and needs. Gaining muscle feels good and adds another dimension to a runner’s regimen of regular running. I’m even injured now having rolled my foot and breaking a bone, yet Liam has found ways to still work both legs. I can’t thank Liam, Jesse and Taylor enough for their support, care, and shared knowledge. I highly recommend anyone of any physical ability to give them a try!
Jesse and the team are great at what they do and provide excellent training services for those with a limited amount of time. I also find them to be very knowledgable about fitness, nutrition, and recovery. I highly recommend them for personal training services.
Finally a place where anyone of any age can get a safe, scientific workout with the absolute best trainers in the Bay Area. Best workouts you will find! No bosu!
I wish that I had all the time back that I've waisted on ineffectual training. TNT gives great results with such a minimal time commitment that it's unreal. Seriously worth it.
Great environment! All of the trainers are super welcoming and accepting of anyone regardless of level and experience. Highly recommend.
I’ve been going to small group strength training with Jesse and Liam for almost six months. Initially, I was skeptical that half an hour once a week would change much of anything, but their short, intense workouts are very effective. These guys really know what they’re doing! I can easily lift heavy objects I used to struggle with, huge aluminum ladders, sacks of soil amendment, unconscious children, etc. I’m constantly being complimented on my noticeably leaner appearance these days. No lifestyle changes to attribute the changes to other than going to small group class. I’m so grateful to have found this place.
Absolutely amazing team! I've been going to TNT for the past year and a half and have seen amazing result AND I actually want to show up at each session. Staffs are amazing all around; everyone talk to you and you get to know different people, not just your trainer. Rare to have both great experience and outcome, and TNT definitely deliver both.
After 18 years of shopping around I can say this is the best personal training experience of my life. I've been at TNT for a couple of years and, aside from the steady gains and progress toward my goals, I'm most impressed by the blend of expertise and flexibility TNT offers. This is a concentrated, powerful workout adapted to my own idiosyncratic needs, that changes every time, twice a week, apparently forever. There is no better way to get strong. I feel safe, seen, and supported in my own personal goals.The facility is clean and stocked with a curated selection of machines and equipment only a bunch of fitness nerds could put together. Scheduling is flexible and easy. The trainers are always happy to incorporate feedback, or just how I'm feeling that day, into the workout as we go. I'm at an age where I thought capacity was declining and gone forever, but I'm hitting PRs thanks to TNT.
This review is long overdue. I started training at TNT Strength in April 2022. I had never before done any kind of strength training but knew I wanted to learn how to get stronger, build muscle and to establish a regular practice of working out. The environment feels safe and non-judgemental. Taylor, Liam and Jesse all meet you where you are, listen to your goals and help you achieve them. It is never crowded with too many people in the gym at one time, the equipment is top-notch, the clientele is diverse and the vibe is positive and supportive. I've worked with Taylor since I joined last year and he has taught me how to (safely) push myself outside of my comfort zone. He has helped me get so much stronger and I can see the difference in my body. Most importantly, he has introduced me to a type of exercise that I actually look forward to doing. Another plus- it's a challenging workout that doesn't eat up too much time in the day. Highly recommend!
What attracted me to TNT was the scientific approach to weight training that forms the core of the philosophy of this gym. I've been working out with Jesse for over a year now, and am very happy with the results. I am 65 and have increased my strength tremendously.What prompted me to seek personal training was being on a trip and having a challenge putting my bag in an overhead compartment. I've never had much upper body strength, and it just feels really, really good to have some--and having a bit of muscle definition ain't bad either!It's hard work for sure, but it's made easier by the fact that they collect data and adjust the workouts accordingly. Jesse switches the workouts around using different machines, free weights and isometric challenges to keep it interesting.All four trainers are top notch and the bottom line is that it's fun!
Absolutely love the TNT crew!The training I receive at TNT is based on maximum effort which is a new concept for me but one where I’m seeing great strength results.As a busy working professional, the best part is I get a full body workout in 30 minutes 2x/week. That’s 1 hour/week for strength training, leaving me more time for rest and recovery, spending time with my family and road/e-biking!I can’t imagine training any other way.
Tl;dr: friendly atmosphere, safe training, sophisticated equipment, very knowledgeable trainers!I'm not a regular gym-goer and truthfully am intimidated by most gyms, but I decided to check out TNT Strength after I heard about the many benefits (both short and long-term) of strength training. I've been training at TNT for almost two years now and am happy I took the step to check them out. Their trainers are down-to-earth and make me feel comfortable and safe when I train. They all train in the same style and are very knowledgeable about why they train the way they do, including moving slowly and having the right amount of weight for me. I appreciate that they guide me through each machine and exercise, and also talk to me about the benefits and muscles that are engaged during the movement.I recommend TNT for anyone who is looking to check out a strength training gym where the trainers are truly knowledgeable about what they do (the science behind their method is fascinating!) and where you can train safely in a non-judgmental and friendly atmosphere!
This is the first gym I have joined in my life and this is the first time I have worked out in my life. And I could not have found a better place and a better trainer. I joined end of July, 2022. My goal is to strengthen my core, back, neck and be stronger overall, while taking least amount of time and effort on my part!This is the perfect place for me because:1) having a personal trainer allows me to work out 30 min each time, twice a week, and get results. I started the leg press at 160 pounds and a month later, I am at 240 pounds. That’s 4 hours later basically.2) a gym that is not gross, ie dark, stuffy, smelly, crowded, eeek!3) a trainer (Taylor Jones) who can help you achieve goals without you having to know anything about anything. Just show up and do what you are told.4) because you can’t train there without a trainer, the place is never crowded so it helps if you are a screamer like me.5) there is PLENTY of parking, metered right on College and free in the side street.
Game changers in how you workout. Effective, directed, and efficient training programs that fit my schedule!The trainers are attentive and easy to get along with. The equipment is clean and tidy. Id recommend giving it a try to see what you think!
I’ve been a client of Jesse’s for years now. He is not only a great trainer but a great person overall. All three trainers at TNT, are knowledgeable and will listen to your needs and expectations. My hat goes off to Liam, Jesse, and Taylor for all being part of such a great establishment. Highly recommend this gym.
Liam, Jesse and Taylor are fantastic trainers. They keep me motivated and encourage me to do my personal best. Their gym is conveniently located on College Ave.. It clean and bright and they stagger their clients so that I can usually have the place to myself. If you are looking for training results, you cant go wrong with TNT.
TNT is the bomb! Great atmosphere led by an awesome training staff. I am stronger than I have been in years thanks to these guys!
I have been a long time client of Jesse's. He is knowledgeable friendly and listens to your goals and needs. The gym that he has opened is also great, it has everything you need for an efficient and well rounded workout. If you are looking for a place to get stronger and healthier I highly recommend this Gym.
This is the place for efficient and effective workouts for your strength goals! Excellent equipment and trainers. Smart, safe, and effective workouts. Perfect for any age, as well. 😃
Liam and Jesse are the best in the business when it comes to building strength in a safe, effective and time efficient manner. You will not find a gym with higher quality equipment and coaching than at TNT Strength. I highly recommend you make the investment and get started now!

Jesse helped me to realize I don’t have to spend as much time at the gym. Focusing on one set to failure and pushing myself to increase the amount of weight versus doing tons of reps was a better approach.
Liam is the best personal trainer ever. I’ve been working with him for a year and a half and he’s amazing.
I’m an online client of Liam “Taku” Bauer and I’m here to say I’m a happy customer. If you’re sitting on the fence, hop off and work with Liam. He is badass in so many ways!
I pushed my muscles to muscle fatigue, which was completely different for me, but it showed results like I’d never seen before.
I really enjoyed the way that Jesse kept momentum and high energy through all of our training and made me focus on the most important parts of the workout. So for all you guys out there that are thinking of training I fully recommend it. Jesse is awesome and he can change things for you!
For me it’s a really enjoyable style of training. It’s short, very effective, and it really pushes you physically.
When I met with you in late April I was the biggest I've ever been at 205 and wanted to make a change. Within two weeks of working the program you put me on I was already getting comments from friends and co-workers about how great I look. Now, 6 weeks later, I am down to 185 and still going strong on the program
