IFBB Pro • Est. 2004 • Duluth, GA
Founded by IFBB Pro George Turmon. Carried by his sons.
The Founder
IFBB Professional Bodybuilder
1957 — 2023 • Georgia State Basketball • 35 Years in Fitness
"I've met a few trainers but George Turmon by far is the best. You want to transform your body, come see George."
From the hardwood at Georgia State to the bodybuilding stage, George Turmon spent 35 years mastering the science of human transformation. He won Mr. South Carolina in 1990, earned his IFBB Pro Card at the 2003 Masters Nationals as a Super-Heavyweight champion, then placed 5th at the Masters Olympia just one month later — after hip replacement surgery the year before. The audience booed because they believed he deserved higher.
He opened TNT Fitness Studio to pass that knowledge forward — training champions, executives, stay-at-home parents, and everyone in between with the same attention to detail he brought to the stage. His legacy doesn't hang on a wall. It lives in every athlete who trains here.
The Journey
1990
Mr. South Carolina
Won the state championship. The moment that ignited a 13-year pursuit of the professional stage.
1998
NPC Nationals
NPC Nationals
12th place, Heavyweight division. His first national-level competition — proving he belonged among the best.
2001
NPC Masters Nationals
2nd place, Super-Heavyweight. One step away from the Pro Card. He competed in both Masters AND Open Nationals the same year.
2002
Hip Replacement Surgery
Most athletes would retire. George started planning his comeback.
2003
IFBB Pro Card Earned
1st place, Super-Heavyweight, NPC Masters Nationals. After 13 years and a hip replacement — the Pro Card was his. Described as having "transparent skin, great lines, huge shoulders and legs, beautiful posing."
2003
IFBB Masters Olympia
5th of 17 professional bodybuilders — as a late entrant, one month after earning his Pro Card. The crowd booed his placement, believing he deserved higher. It was the last Masters Olympia held for nearly a decade.
2004+
TNT Fitness Studio Founded
George poured everything he knew into building a studio where anyone could train like a champion. His sons Jonathan, Jordan, and Joshua now carry that fire forward.
The Team
Co-Owner • ISSA Certified Personal Trainer • MS Addiction Counseling
The oldest son of IFBB Pro George Turmon, Jonathan was running his father's gym in Powdersville, South Carolina by age 14 — writing strength and conditioning programs and managing the floor. After George's passing, Jonathan and his brothers Jordan and Joshua took the reins of TNT, honoring a 35-year legacy. Now an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer with a Master's Degree in Addiction Counseling, he brings a rare mind-and-body approach — helping clients break through psychological barriers alongside physical ones. His clients describe him as dedicated, expert at crafting tailored plans, and the kind of coach who explains the purpose behind every exercise while pushing you past what you thought was possible.
SNBF Pro • ISSA Certified Personal Trainer • Small Groups
A state champion cheerleader from Alaska who turned her lifelong athletic drive into a career transforming others. Stephanie is an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer and Small Group Trainer who earned her SNBF Pro Card in Figure at the 2025 Georgia State Pro-Am — carrying on the same competitive spirit George built this gym on. She leads TNT's circuit training classes and specializes in weight loss, strength and conditioning, sports-specific training, and post-surgery rehabilitation. Her clients describe her as kind, encouraging, and meticulous — the kind of trainer who makes you feel stronger after every session.
