Find your reason…not your excuse!

  • Welcome to Tawnia's NextLevel Training (TNT)

    Leave excuses behind and take your training to the next level. With 40 years of strength training experience and over 35 years in patient care, I specialize in in-person training, custom-written sport & goal-specific programs, & post-rehab plans that bridge the gap from injury to performance.

    This isn't typical weight training—TNT fuses traditional strength, core, plyometrics, and athletic conditioning into a dynamic blend using weights, sleds, med balls, TRX, ladders, & more. Together, we’ll build physical and mental strength, push your limits, and have fun.

  • My Mission

    At TNT, my mission is to empower individuals of every age—from athletes striving to reach the next level to the health-driven committed to improving their strength, energy, & quality of life—to transform their lives through strength and conditioning.

    Fitness is a lifelong journey driven by purpose, not limited by excuses. With decades of experience, I offer personalized coaching, targeted training programs, and tailored nutritional plans designed to meet you where you are and take you to the next level.

  • Train your way

    At TNT, I offer personalized in-person coaching —one-on-one, in small groups, or team settings—as well as custom-written programs designed for independent training. You’ll also find instant access to a variety of ready-to-use downloadable workouts.

    Whether you prefer hands-on guidance or a plan to follow on your own, every program is tailored to your goals, schedule, equipment, and fitness level.
