FAQs
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!
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)
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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 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!
My strength has skyrocketed and I have not experienced any injuries where I was previously injury-prone. I am hitting old PR’s for sets of 10+!
TLM has helped me find the balance in my lifting and running while also allowing me to ENJOY the training process.
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!
TLM has been life changing! The structure and programming are unparalleled and all of the resources uncomplicate everything the world confuses you about. Amazing coaches, incredible programs, and an incredible community to be part of.
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!
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.
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. The app functionality is great, letting you swap out exercises as needed.

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!
