PAUSE YOUR PROGRAM

Life happens, and here at TLM, we value flexibility and making fitness fit your life. You can pause and adjust your program on your own at any point in time. Each of our TLM programs is made to be started and completed at your own pace and on your timeline; you are not asked to keep up with the program as it moves or with everyone else. Instead, you get to adjust the program to keep up with you. This means if you are missing training because you are sick, on vacation, have a hectic schedule, or because you are a parent, you have the freedom and flexibility to pause your program, adjust it back a few days, restart it, repeat weeks, or skip forward if guided by a coach at any time.

FAQs

Can I switch between programs?
Plus icon

Yep! Once you are in the program, you can switch between any of the programs. So, if you aren’t sure which one to sign up for or sign up for the wrong one, you can always switch once you are in it!

What equipment is needed for the lifting plans?
Plus icon

We keep equipment at TLM minimal and include all suggested movements swaps directly in your programming so that everyone can train with the equipment they have.

TLM is designed to be done from *almost* anywhere. If you don't have a barbell, you can do it at home with just dumbbells, swap the barbell for a machine, or use a smith machine. Many clients do TLM from home with basic equipment and crush it!

Recommended equipment:

  • Barbell, smith machine, lifting machines & plates (optional) 
  • Pull-up bar (optional)
  • Dumbbells and/or kettlebells
  • Long straight or loop resistance bands
  • A bench, step, or box to lift on or jump onto
  • Cables and/or long resistance bands
  • One or any of the following: treadmill, a place to run, rower, ski erg, bike, jump rope, and/or a way to do cardio (optional)
Do I have to run if I do this program?
Plus icon

You do not have to run to do a TLM lifting program! You may pair your lifting program with any of our on-demand cardio library options, including weekly high-intensity interval training, metcons/WODS (functional fitness style cardio workouts), zone 2, or aerobic capacity workouts. 

You may also pair it with your endurance or cross-training of choice, including cycling, group fitness classes, walking, rowing, or whatever you enjoy doing! You can also choose to do no cardio or running at all, although we don't advise that!

If I want to get stronger, build strength, build muscle, or 'tone', what is the best fit for me?
Plus icon

All of our resistance training programs will take you through various cycles that help you get stronger and gain muscle. The strength movements will be paired with accessory work to target more isolated muscle groups to help with further muscle growth. This is one of the primary goals in all of our programs! 

Lifting and gaining muscle is one of the best and most efficient approaches to improving body composition. However, this goal will need to be paired with appropriate nutrition to help support your fitness goals.

Is there any 1:1 Coaching or check ins?
Plus icon

The Lyss Method is a group coaching-based program that is templated, adjustable, and self-progressing -but it is not personalized or 1:1 coaching. You will have messaging access to Lyss and the group within the app for all questions or program adjustments.

You can find 1:1 coaching information here. 

Is there any video feedback?
Plus icon

Yes we offer video feedback directly in the TLM app with coach Dani.

RESULTS + KIND WORDS

What our clients are saying

There's no fluff, no bs – just good programming that works. Within the last 10 months of TLM I've reached lifting goals I've struggled to reach for years, AND I've become a runner! I'm finally the athlete I've wanted to be for so long, and for every goal I reach, new doors open within the program.

@rovingrhea
@rovingrhea

As someone with a masters in exercise science and now in a PhD, the quality of the TLM programming is unmatched! Despite being in a stressful graduate program, my fitness has continued to improve and it's 100% due to TLMs amazing programming.

@cierabartholomew_fitness
@cierabartholomew_fitness

Strength training and race training aren’t new to me... But having them scheduled in the same programme, knowing that they complement each other, is a game changer. No more second guessing and wondering if your strength training is negatively impacting your race training and vice versa.

@sewing4ways
@sewing4ways

I have felt so good these past couple months and have seen noticeable strength improvements! I have finally been able to return to using a barbell and I have been so proud of myself!

It’s amazing how much effort and care the coaches put in to their clients. Noah has coached me through injuries and recoveries and been nothing but supportive through every step of the process. I cannot say enough amazing things about this program and staff and all the work they have put in to it!

@hayliebook

I’ve PR’d deadlifts, 2 mile times, bench press, pull-ups, and a marathon time. What other program has that kind of depth?! The coaches are so helpful and knowledgeable. This program is great for literally everyone from beginner to advance level runners and lifters. So glad I found TLM!

@kaitlynannernst

My lifting was always sporadic and would be based off of building my own workouts. In the two months since starting TLM and having a consistent lifting schedule aligned with my running, I have seen noticeable progress and strength.

@mtnrisecoaching
@mtnrisecoaching

I've been lifting consistently over these last 6 months and have been loving seeing the changes in my body and mind plus the strength that has been gained! I love not having to think about what I'm going to do for training day to day, plus the free cardio program.

@linz.19

Functional and SUSTAINABLE. This program is so effective because of the emphasis on efforts that build up your abilities– not destroy you. TLM has taught me that balancing strength and cardio IS POSSIBLE, and to fall in love with the growth process!

@melissa_bazany
@melissa_bazany

I’ve never felt stronger and more mobile. I love how you can switch between programs easily, the community support, and manageable programming that doesn’t leave you too sore to do other activities, but still gives you gains.

The Lyss Method Coaches

Alyssa headshot
Meet Coach Lyss
  • B.S. in Health Sciences
  • M.S. in Exercise Physiology
  • Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology

I’m a woman who does not mess around. As a multi-passionate big scary goal chaser, I lift, run, learn, teach, coach, and educate. Everything I do is rooted in a fascination with the incredible potential of the human body, which I fell in love with at an early age. Today, I help others demand better from their training and themselves. I am on a mission to help all women face their fears, chase big goals, and finally learn to celebrate what their bodies are capable of.


I have my Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology, where I researched sex differences in metabolism and exercise. I am on a mission to show women that they are not fragile. I am passionate about non BS science-based nutrition and fitness and how the two integrate so that I can help women become their most badass and healthiest selves.

I strongly believe that open, honest education is the key to helping others find success in their health. If you’re ready for a no BS approach to exercise and nutrition, my programs are based on realistic, safe, and science-backed practices – and making fitness fun again! Just badass women, demanding better, and training with intention – that’s The Lyss Method. Are you in?

Meet Coach Trevor
  • B.S Applied Exercise Science
  • PhD(c.) Exercise Physiology

Trevor is a Tennessee native who picked up an obsession with training as a high-school athlete and never looked back. From a BS in Applied Exercise Science, to a MS in Exercise Physiology and a PhD in progress, he has accumulated years worth of knowledge about health, fitness, and training. Beyond the classroom, Trevor has turned this knowledge into first-hand experience by running head-first into any realm of fitness he can find- from powerlifting and CrossFit, to trail running and rock climbing.

Trevor is also a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and began coaching a wide range of populations while completing his undergraduate degree, ranging from those just wanting to stay fit enough to spend time with their grandchildren to high-school and adult athletes and military service members. His graduate research has focused on physical activity, fitness, and body composition as it relates to cardiometabolic health in children with cerebral palsy. Together, this experience throughout the fitness spectrum has provided him with the knowledge, experience, and tools to help you reach your fitness goals- whatever they may be.

Meet Coach Val
  • B.S. Psychology
  • CSCS
  • Certified Pre & Post Natal Coach

I have always been an avid fitness lover. It started with my passion for soccer when I was young, and carried over into the weight room through high school as I worked to develop myself as an athlete. After a hiatus my freshman year of college, I dove back into fitness when I found Core Blend. I started training again, and in the last few years, I have ran multiple half marathons and competed in powerlifting and Hyrox. I enjoy all forms of fitness, and I believe that movement is the best medicine!

After graduating with my B.S. in Psychology, I began working as a trainer at Core Blend, where I quickly realized I wanted to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry. I am now certified as a pre and post natal coach, and I am barbell rehab certified. I am currently working towards my CSCS.

As someone who took a break from the gym and came back with little motivation or desire to achieve any type of fitness goal, I understand the important of making working out a FUN experience. I love to help my clients fall in love with the gym. No matter the goal (or lack-thereof), I am dedicated to meeting you where you are at and helping you improve while enjoying the process!

Meet Coach Noah
  • Certified Personal Trainer (NASM)
  • Level 1 Olympic Weightlifting Coach
  • B.S. Exercise and Sport Science

Noah is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Association of Sports Medicine and a Level 1 Olympic Weighting Coach. He has competed in Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, and triathlons. He has his B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Georgia. It was at UGA where Noah met and started coaching Alyssa herself. As a child, he was bullied for being unfit, so he developed an appreciation for the pursuit of fitness and health at an early age. His passion for coaching is tied to both his desire to share with others that which he loves and his desire to help those in the ways he had little help.

Noah has coached people through professional and D1 athletics, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, Triathlons, ultramarathons, and many other endeavors. In addition to coaching, Noah is the Manager and Head Trainer at Core Blend Training where he is the coaches’ Coach. When he isn’t working, Noah’s two favorite social hobbies are exercise (surprise surprise) and watching movies. He is a huge movie buff who wants to open his own private movie theater one day.
