Redefining Hybrid Training

What if your strength training made you a better runner? What if your cardio improved your lifting recovery?

That's exactly what happens when your training is designed as an integrated system instead of separate programs you're trying to force together. No more burnout from conflicting training demands. No more plateaus from programs that fight each other. No more feeling like you're half-committed to everything.

Choose your path:

• Full Access Hybrid (Lifting + Run and/or Cardio)
• Running Only

With Hybrid Membership, pair ANY lifting program with ANY running or cardio plan - at no extra cost. Easily switch between any of our lifting, running, or cardio programs as your goals evolve, life gets busy, or your priorities change.

CHOOS YOUR PATH

How it works

01
Alyssa looking at her phone

STOP SECOND-GUESSING

Choose Your Path. No need to overthink which of our programs is "perfect." Our coaches will help you find the right starting point based on your goals, experience, and lifestyle.

Hybrid (running + lifting/hiking/cardio) or Running-Only? Full access or focused approach? We'll guide you to the choice that gets you moving forward instead of spinning in circles.

Not sure where to start? That's exactly why we're here. Send us a message with your goals, and current training and well guide you.

START SEEING PROGRESS

Download the app and discover training that actually makes sense. Every workout builds on the last. Every week brings you closer to your goals.

No more guessing what to do next. No more wondering if you're doing enough (or too much).

Just clear, step-by-step guidance that adapts as you get stronger.Your only job? Show up and follow the plan.

03

Crush every goal

Transform Your Life. Watch what happens when your training finally works WITH your life instead of against it. Goals that felt impossible become inevitable.

As your priorities shift or your goals evolve, your training evolves with you. Strength building, race prep, or maintenance phases - seamlessly transition without losing momentum. Busy months, or training focused seasons? We build flexiblity in.

This is what happens when you stop choosing between goals.

our signature hybrid system

Training that evolves with your life, not against it.

Most programs lock you into rigid plans that can't adapt when priorities change. Our system solves this with seamless transitions between any training focus.

How it works:
✓ Build strength with our progressive lifting programs
✓ Add endurance with any running or cardio plan
✓ Switch focus instantly when goals change or life gets busy
✓ Maintain progress during busy periods with time-efficient options

The result: You never feel trapped in the wrong program or forced to start over when life changes. Finally, fitness that adapts to YOU.

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.
