FAQs

How does the hybrid approach work with running/cardio?
Plus icon

Our hybrid system strategically balances the volume and intensity of lifting with your cardio work. Programs like PERFORM, LIFESTYLE, and RACE are specifically designed to complement running or other cardio activities without creating excessive fatigue. The full access membership includes both lifting and running/cardio programs that work synergistically, with workouts designed to be aware of the demands of each other.

Or you can pair our lifting programs with your Crossfit, or group fitness class like Orange Theory, F45, or boot-camp classes. For this, we reccomend PERFORM or LIFESTYLE depending on how many classes you take per week.

What makes The Lyss Method different from other fitness programs?
Plus icon

The Lyss Method offers "Hybrid Training on YOUR Terms" - a unique approach that balances strength training and endurance work. Unlike generic, one-size-fits-all programs, our system allows you to progress through tailored training based on your fitness level, schedule, and goals. Whether you're running casually or training for a race, our programs help you balance lifting and endurance in a realistic, sustainable way developed by Dr. Alyssa Olenick through extensive research and personal experience.
