TG The Gym
Take Back the Industry
TG The Gym is more than a fitness facility — it’s a rebellion against the corporate status quo. Built by those who believe in action over words, this brand is a bold movement redefining what it means to be part of the fitness world. With a commitment to independence, authenticity, and purpose-driven growth, TG The Gym invites partners and members alike to be part of something that stands apart from the rest of the industry.
The History
The origins of TG The Gym are rooted in decades of industry leadership. Pete Grymkowski, former Mr. World bodybuilder and part of the team that expanded Gold’s Gym globally, brings unmatched expertise and legacy to the foundation of TG The Gym. Drawing from this rich history, the brand was established to challenge traditional models and offer a powerful alternative — one built on freedom, strength, and community leadership.
The Battle
During the COVID-19 pandemic, TG The Gym took a bold stand. While many facilities shut down, TG The Gym declared itself essential — not just in words, but in action. By remaining open in defiance of state mandates, the founders sent a powerful message about the importance of health, autonomy, and personal choice. This act of defiance became a defining moment, transforming TG The Gym into a symbol of resilience, freedom, and responsibility to the communities it serves.
The Lifestyle
At TG The Gym, fitness is just the beginning. The brand represents a full-spectrum lifestyle centered on mental toughness, physical excellence, and the freedom to live life without compromise. This culture-driven model creates an atmosphere that’s high-energy, inclusive, and unapologetically bold. TG The Gym fosters a deeply connected member community where passion and purpose thrive — both inside and beyond the walls of the facility.
The Difference
TG The Gym isn’t just opening locations — it’s transforming lives and communities. Each space is reimagined into a dynamic, high-impact environment that sparks motivation and builds pride. The brand actively supports local youth sports, first responders, and military personnel — people who embody commitment and strength. Through every initiative and every location, TG The Gym proves that with the right vision, any space can become a powerful hub for wellness, energy, and community connection.
