The Story Behind Top Tyr Training
Top Tyr Training is our family-owned and operated personal training studio located in the heart of the South Bay. As husband and wife, we are proud to have a comfortable, friendly space for our clients to reach their health and fitness goals. We want our clients and their families to live full, healthy, and balanced lifestyles where they are fit enough to not only do the things they have to do but the things they WANT to do.
This idea came about a few years ago when a long-time client of Ian’s introduced ARX technology to him. As a trainer who understood the value of super-slow style training, Ian was very intrigued by this isokinetic technology and was excited to give it a try. They drove a couple of hours to a studio that had one of the machines. Within the very first rep of his ARX session, Ian knew that this was an incredible tool. He began brainstorming a way to get his hands on these machines so he could help his clients gain strength in ways he would never be able to replicate in a normal personal training setting.
Fast forward to December 2020, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, we signed a lease on our first location. We found our place for our personal training studio, featuring biohacking technology. We knew that more than ever, people in the South Bay were craving a way to stay fit and healthy. Creating a studio space that provided a clean, and safe environment to get in great shape was the goal, and by February 2020, we opened our doors to the South Bay’s new personal training and biohacking studio where you don’t have to spend hours and hours to feel healthy, fit and energetic. Here, we know that time is precious and valuable, and the way we spend our time matters. When you join us, you will train your body in a way that will give you the energy to do the things you love and you’ll have the TIME to do them. Our workouts are quick, efficient, and effective giving you BETTER results than you would get spending hours and days in the gym.
When you’re here you’ll find an open, airy space to get into great shape. You may be greeted at the door by our loving husky, Athena who helps cheer on our clients. If you have a game to watch or a playlist you want to listen to, we are happy to make our place feel like home when you’re here! Our members are like family to us and we are here for them during their lifelong fitness journey.
