Program Details
LIFESTYLE is our minimum effective dose lifting plan that hits everything you need for health, fitness, and performance in just two days per week. LIFESTYLE includes all the same components of PERFORM: strength, hypertrophy, power training, and plyometrics - in a condensed two-day program. LIFESTYLE is named for exactly what it's supposed to do: fit your LIFE when you don’t have the time or desire to lift more or you have bigger goals you're working toward.

LIFESTYLE
Not everyone has the time to lift 3-4x/week while also juggling running or cardio goals. That's where LIFESTYLE comes in! Explicitly designed to get you in and out of the gym in 2 lifts a week, focusing on full body, power, strength, and muscle building that allows space in your schedule for your life. LIFESTYLE can be thought of as ‘PERFORM LITE’, giving you all the components of general lifelong athleticism you want while allowing you to have time for work, school, kids, or other hobbies and activities along the way.

Equipment Needed
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!
Med balls, wall balls, or slam balls (optional)
Long loop bands or cables
For in-app cardio workouts: A way to do cardio, a treadmill or place to run, a rower, ski erg, stationary or air bike, and/or jump rope.
Encouraged but optional for HYROX: A sled, a rower and/or a ski erg.

FAQs
LIFESTYLE is a 2 day per week and slightly shorter version of PERFORM. It hits on all the same major goals by combining 3 lifts into 2 days, so those who are short on time, struggle to get in 3 lifts per week, or only want to get in 2 lifts still get everything they need in a training program.
Worried you’ll pick the wrong plan? You can switch at any time in the app! Or a coach can help you inside the app to make sure you are in the right spot.
TLM utilizes a mix of classic strength movements, powerlifting barbell compounds, power training, and muscle-building accessories. We program with minimal equipment, so all workouts are friendly to almost any gym space or at-home training set-up. We use a mix of barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, bands or cables, and bodyweight-based training.
Please note within every TLM workout: you can swap any main compound for a machine or non-barbell variation based on your preference or equipment.
You will see main lifts and movement patterns such as
- Bench
- Squat
- Deadlift
- Overhead press
- Row
Other movement patterns you will see in TLM:
- Split Squats, Lunges, Cossack Squats, Step Up variations, or similar
- Single Arm Shoulder Press, Incline DB Chest Press, Lateral/Front/Rear Shoulder Raises, or other Shoulder or Chest Pressing variations
- Single Arm DB Row, Cable or Banded Rows, Lat Pull Downs, Inverted Row Rowing Variations
- RDLs, Nordic Curls, Hamstring Curls, or other Hamstring Accessories Variations
- Pull Ups, Push Ups, Chin Ups, Dips
- Upper and Lower Body Plyometrics
- Fast Bar or Weighted Speed-Strength Movements (Skipping, Hopping, Jumping, Exploding Variations)
- Dumbbell Based Olympic-style or Power Movements like DB Snatch, DB Clean, DB Push Press, DB Jumps
You will ONLY see barbell-based Olympic-style lifting in later blocks of METCON on the optional 4th day, so it is not required. There is no other Olympic lifting in any TLM program.
