Our Story
Built for Settle. Built for you.
Origin
Why we built this
Settle deserved something more. That was the simple conclusion. When Tomi, Hannah, and Matt looked at what was available in the area, they noticed an opportunity — a community full of people eager to train seriously, and room for a facility to match that ambition.
So they built one. Not a chain box, not a no-frills warehouse — a 6,000 sq ft hybrid training facility designed to rival anything in Manchester or Leeds, dropped right into the heart of North Yorkshire.
Three founders. One facility. Zero compromise.

Tomi Tatham
Co-Founder & Head Coach
Tomi started his career as a professional light heavyweight boxer, winning the International Light Heavyweight title and becoming the mandatory challenger for the British title before a career-ending eye injury forced him to step away from the sport.
He went on to compete in strongman and powerlifting, then build TNT Fitness, TNT Elite and now TNT Hybrid — three gyms shaped around honest, results-driven training.
Throughout everything, his greatest motivation has always been his two kids. They keep him on his toes, and they make him want to be a better person every single day.
Hannah Benson
Co-Founder & Personal Trainer
Hannah has spent the past five years as a dedicated personal trainer and coach — helping others build strength, confidence and resilience while continually pushing her own limits as a competitive athlete.
Settle is home, and bringing a facility like this to her hometown was personal. Every detail of TNT Hybrid has her fingerprints on it.
Outside of training she feels most at home exploring the hills and soaking up the outdoors, where she can reset and recharge.
Matt Baines
Co-Founder & Operations
Matt is a local electrician who’s worked hard to build up his own business and takes pride in doing the job right — which has been very handy when setting up TNT Hybrid.
When he’s not on the tools, you’ll usually find him out fell running or keeping fit. Settle is home, and he’s proud to help build something the town genuinely deserves.
