When the Triptych Strength Training gym opened in San Francisco, it was a chance for Tarquin Thornton-Close to finally build the kind of workout space he had long envisioned — lots of room, limited numbers of people at a time, and plenty of strength-training gear.

After all, working out is more than just a physical activity; it can be a therapeutic experience, said Thornton-Close, who started as a personal trainer at high-end gyms on the East Coast before moving to a 24 Hour Fitness in the Bay Area, eventually becoming an independent personal trainer and then opening his own gym in September 2016.
