Coach Nell Tibbs: Building Strength, Family, and Fitness on Indy’s West Side

When you talk about community on the West Side of Indianapolis, you have to mention Coach Nell Tibbs. A proud product of the city, Nell graduated from Ben Davis High School in 2007 and went on to play and study at Saint Joseph’s College, Class of 2011. What he learned on the court and in the classroom—discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—shows up every day in how he pours back into his community.

Today, Nell is the owner of TGG Fitness, a training hub created to help people become “the best version of themselves”. TGG Fitness is built on motivation, inspiration, and encouragement from both the TGG Team and the TGG Gang, a growing family of clients and supporters who push each other to keep going when life gets heavy.

At TGG Fitness, Coach Tibbs offers:

• Personal Training – One-on-one sessions tailored to each client’s goals.

• Group Training – High-energy classes that bring people together, build accountability, and make fitness fun.

• Athletic Training – Focused work for athletes looking to take their performance to the next level.

• Monthly At-Home Weight Loss Challenge – A guided challenge for people who want structure, support, and results even when they can’t always make it to the gym.

But what truly sets Nell apart is his commitment to making health accessible to everyone. Every week, TGG Fitness hosts a FREE “Get Fit” community training class every Saturday at 9:00 AM. These sessions aren’t just workouts—they’re a safe space where families, friends, and neighbors can come together, sweat together, and encourage each other.

Through these free group workouts, Coach Tibbs is:

• Promoting physical health and movement.

• Raising mental health awareness, reminding people that working out is therapy too.

• Building teamwork and dedication, teaching people to show up not only for themselves, but for those around them.

• Strengthening accountability, as participants check on each other, share progress, and celebrate wins.

All of this adds up to a better quality of life on the West Side of Indianapolis—one class, one rep, and one person at a time. After nearly a decade in the fitness game, Coach Nell Tibbs is still just getting started and looking forward to impacting even more lives.

If you’re interested in personal or group training, athletic development, or need guidance on your health journey, reach out to Coach Tibbs and TGG Fitness. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there’s a place for you in the TGG family.
