TNT Fitness: In a Northern Virginia Gym Near You

TNT Fitness has been providing personal training services to local Northern Virginia residents since 1999.



I have participated in their group personal training at both Reston Sport & Health and Herndon's Worldgate in Northern Virginia.  If you are looking for a way to work toward your personal fitness goals, this is a wonderful program, made more affordable by its group nature.

At the Reston Sport & Health, I show up 2 mornings a week (and sometimes on Saturdays, when make-up classes are offered) for 45 minutes of Ab work, weight lifting, squats and stretching. The well educated and fun trainers, Brock and Dianne, put us through our paces and adapt each exercise to our individual limitations.  No need to worry if you are new to weight lifting, are working with an injury or are looking to push yourself further. Each participant is given weights and exercises appropriate to their personal level of fitness and personal goals.

Three times during  a 12-week session we do body fat and body weight checks. The trainers provide you with information you can use to work toward a weight loss goal  and this monitoring helps keep you on track.

My personal goal was to increase my weight bearing exercise and 're-distribute' some of my body fat. I have been able to accomplish both of these goals through the TNT Fitness Program.

Each session we are provided with diet guidelines and stretching information.  We update the  weekly log with how we are doing on our cardio, 'homework' (assigned exercise designed to strengthen our abdominal muscles), stretching and diet.

The pricing for the sessions vary based on when you joined and whether or not you belong to the health club. I do not belong to the health club, so I pay an additional 'club use' fee.  In addition to participating in TNT, this club use fee allows me to do the cardio work out at the gym  that I am supposed to do on each of my TNT days. There are also evening TNT sessions. 

The program builds a  real group camaraderie; last week I missed a happy hour, but understand that it was well attended by people in my group (as well as several folks who switched to an earlier group to adapt to a new work schedule).

Speaking of work schedule adaptations, the trainers are great about working with you to make up classes when work or personal obligations get in the way. There are also numerous opportunities for make-up classes at many different locations and times.

If you are looking for a way to change up your work out routine, or to start a new one,  I suggest you look in to the TNT Fitness program. More information is available at www.tntfitness.com.
