Nike Training and The Yard Gym Partner to Shape the Future of Training

Nike Training and The Yard Gym (TYG) are teaming up to shape the future of training and set new standards for training excellence. TYG will become an official Global Nike Training Partner, marking Nike Training’s first global gym partnership. 

Born from the shared vision and passion of husband-and-wife duo Daniel and Tiarne Bova, 
TYG first opened in Australia in 2020. What began as a dream to create a space where people of all ages and fitness levels could come together to train like athletes, has become a global movement. TYG is synonymous with an innovative, premium, and community-centric training experience. Its structured approach centers on delivering high-quality, strength and endurance focused workouts tailored to support individuals at every stage of their fitness journey.  

 “Like Nike, The Yard Gym believes training is more than a workout. It’s about unlocking progress,” says Chloe Speed, VP/GM, Nike Training. “By combining Nike’s expertise in performance innovation with TYG’s industry leading approach to community and programming, we’ll help more athletes push the limits of what’s possible and raise the bar of training globally.” 

Nike Training will become the exclusive provider of footwear, apparel and accessories for all TYG trainers and team members. Built from Nike’s most advanced performance innovations, each product has been selected to meet the exact functional and performance needs of TYG’s elite coaches and instructors.   

As partners, Nike Training and TYG will co-create training experiences, activations and community moments, designed to inspire more people to train with purpose and consistency. Nike products and branding will also be incorporated into existing and future TYG gyms. 

“Nike Training embodies the same grit we see inside every TYG studio,” says Daniel Bova, Co-Founder and CEO, The Yard Gym. “It’s about showing up and putting in the work, every single day. We share the same obsession: building stronger, better humans in and out of the gym.”  

Together, driven by innovation and the pursuit of progress, Nike Training and TYG will equip all athletes to train on their own terms and achieve their greatest potential.

On top of that, the franchise offers a strong support structure and proven systems, which gave us the confidence to take the next step.

HEAR FROM SOME OF OUR LEADING FRANCHISEES

RIO & SEAN - POWER RANCH, USA

Q: What made you want to franchise a Yard Gym and how did you get involved with the brand? 
A: Sean first discovered The Yard after following Cory G. on Instagram. The video that caught his eye showed Cory and Dan running along a road in the Western Australian outback, which sparked a deeper look into TYG. After two weeks, he was intrigued and mentioned the idea of franchising a gym to Rio. Things moved quickly from there - two weeks later they were in San Diego for VIP Week, and the rest is history.

Q: After being part of The Yard Gym, what do you see as our biggest point of difference in the industry? 
A: The intentional approach to everything from day 1 - the programming, aesthetics, exceptional standards of coaching and delivery of the workouts. Marketing, socials and consistency throughout the network also support and play a major role in differentiating us from the competition.

With all that said, and having only been open for 11 weeks, the biggest point of difference is the “Community” aspect - the feeling of being part of something special within the community of franchisees, not just here in the US but around the world. We’re connected with studios in New Zealand, several of the Australian locations, Canada and many of those in the US as well.

Q: What are your favourite things about owning a Yard Gym and being part of the TYG community?
There are so many things we love about owning a Yard Gym, but three stand out. First, the impact we see on our members’ lives - it’s incredible to witness their results and hear their feedback. It’s proof that the programming works and will continue to work, giving the brand longevity in a competitive industry.

Second, the community - both our members and the broader Yard Gym network. From day one, it’s been amazing to see how naturally members connect and support one another, and how welcoming the franchisee and HQ community has been to us as new owners. That sense of family and shared purpose makes being part of this brand so special.

Third, the support and leadership from the HQ team. From induction to ongoing guidance, the dedication of everyone - from Dan and Tiarne to the training and network teams - has set us up for success and made us feel truly part of the Yard Gym family. Knowing we have that foundation makes us confident and excited for the future of our gym and the brand as a whole. We’d be remiss if we didn’t call some very special people at HQ who were critical to assisting us along the way - starting with Cory and Carl in the early stages, to Jenna, Tommy, Big Red, Ally, Nat, Mel, and Madi. We would not be where we are today without the support of this family. Special thanks to you all.
