We get it. You’ve tried:
• Stacking two random programs together (hello dead legs)
• Strength plans not made for endurance goals
• Switching goals nonstop

The result: Half-committed to everything. Progress in nothing.

Here’s what changes with hybrid training that actually works:
• Lifting that supports endurance
• Cardio that finally feels balanced
• Workouts that finally support your goals AND you can recover from.

What we believe

Autonomy

We all have different goals, priorities, fitness levels, goals, lifestyles, and preferences. Your workout program should match that.

Be your own champion

Set the goal, do the hard thing, and surprise yourself along the way. At TLM, we are here to help you become the hero of your fitness story.

Science is key

Exercise scientists, lifelong fitness coaches, and experts create our programs. Everything we do is grounded in a mix of the latest science with practical application.

Fitness should be fun

Exercise isn’t a tool for self-hate but rather an expression of love and joy- and a vehicle to reach your big goals. Well help you crush your goal, but  encourage you to have fun along the way.

FAQs

Can I switch between programs?
Plus icon

Yes! All TLM memberships allow you to move between programs anytime as your goals evolve. Whether you're transitioning from FOUNDATIONS to PERFORM, or moving into RACE during race preparation and back to another program afterward, your progress and history are maintained in the app.

If you are worried about signing up for the wrong program, don't! You can change programs at any time inside the app.

What equipment is needed for the lifting plans?
Plus icon

At The Lyss Method, we keep equipment requirements minimal. Our programs include movement swaps for different equipment, so you can train with what you have—whether at home or in the gym. TLM is designed to be flexible and can be done almost anywhere!

Recommended Equipment:

  • Barbell, Smith Machine, or Lifting Machines & Plates (optional)
  • Pull-Up Bar (optional)
  • Dumbbells &/or Kettlebells
  • Resistance Bands (long straight or loop)
  • Bench, Step, or Box for lifts & jumps
  • Cables &/or Long Resistance Bands
  • Cardio Equipment: Treadmill, Rowing Machine, Ski Erg, Bike, Jump Rope, or any way to do cardio (optional)

Many of our clients train from home with just basic equipment and crush it!

Do I have to run if I do this program?
Plus icon

No, running is optional! You can pair your lifting program with any of our cardio options.

Click here to learn more about the non-running cardio workouts and programs we offer.

Prefer something else? Feel free to add your favorite endurance or cross-training activities, like cycling, rowing, or group fitness classes.

How do I know which program is right for me? What will help me gain the most muscle or 'tone'?
Plus icon

We recommend choosing programs based on your experience level, time availability, and goals. For beginners or those returning after a break, FOUNDATIONS is ideal. If you have 6-9+ months of lifting experience, PERFORM is our most popular hybrid program. LIFESTYLE works best for those with limited time (2 days/week). For those prioritizing lifting over cardio, BUILD offers higher volume. For race-specific training, RACE provides tailored support. Our coaches are available through in-app messaging to help you find your perfect fit.

All of our resistance training programs are designed to help you get stronger and build muscle through targeted strength cycles and accessory work. These movements focus on isolating muscle groups to promote growth, which is a key goal in every program! Lifting is one of the most effective ways to improve body composition.

To see the best results, make sure your nutrition supports your fitness goals. We’ve partnered with Hard House Nutrition to offer exclusive deals for TLM clients. Learn more about Hard House Nutrition here: Hard House Nutrition

What coaching support is available if I have questions or need help?
Plus icon

All TLM memberships include coach access through in-app messaging. Our coaches can help with program selection, exercise form, workout modifications, and building training timelines for your goals. Members also gain access to our supportive community groups and comprehensive resource library with form demonstrations, mobility workouts, and guidance on common issues like shin splints and recovery techniques.

While TLM is group coaching-based and not 1:1 weekly check-ins, we do offer personalized coaching options. You can find 1:1 coaching information here. 

Is there any form video feedback?
Plus icon

Yes! We offer video feedback directly through the TLM app. You can post videos as often as you'd like, and our coaches will provide feedback weekly inside our form feedback group.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Alyssa

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?
