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, or your goals or priorities change, 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 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 encourage everyone to do some cardio!

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. We partner with Hard House Nutrition, with exclusive offers just for TLM clients who join Hard House. Learn more about HHN here: https://hardhousenutrition.com/

Unlike most group programs, The Lyss Method is unique that we offer both group programming AND coaching access. Inside the TLM app you have access to our coaches to help you with any issues you are dealing with, planning out racing timelines, adjusting your program, moving between programs, or simply for support. We check in with you every few weeks to see how you are doing, but you are also welcome to message the coaches or post to the group community at any time for support.

‍
The Lyss Method is a group coaching-based program however and is not personalized or 1:1 weekly check in based coaching. You can find 1:1 coaching information here. 

Yes we offer video feedback directly in the TLM app from our coaches. There is no limit on how often you post videos, and it is delivered weekly by a coach inside our form feedback group!
