Coaches
Taryn Chrysikos and Jillian Chrysikos

This team is designed for individuals who want a structured approach to strength and conditioning with a focus on improving performance, movement quality, and overall athletic capacity.

Built on a 4-week training cycle, the team combines progressive strength training, accessory work, and conditioning to create a well-rounded approach that goes beyond traditional workout programs.

Unlike generic programming, this approach emphasizes intentional training, balancing strength development with movement efficiency and conditioning to support long-term progress and performance.

Additional coaching support is included through access to a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Strength and Conditioning Coach, with the ability to receive form feedback, ask questions, and get guidance from both coaches throughout the program.

This is a team for those seeking structure, progression, and expert-backed training without the need for fully customized programming.

FAQs
Why THIS subscription?
Coach T is not your average strength coach. Her experience working with athletes and lifters in the physical therapy and gym setting has given her a unique background that helps distinguish good programs from great programs.
Who is this training for?
This training program is more geared towards experienced gym goers who are familiar with using equipment and basic foundational movements. This is also a helpful program for former or current athletes, as well as anyone who is trying to work on their athleticism and bring it into their training.
What if I miss a day?
Life happens! If you miss a day, you are able to move workouts using the three dots at the top righthand corner. There is also a recovery day that can be used as a swap out day as needed. There are tons of alternate exercises for modifications. If you need to hop out and jump back in, don't sweat it
What does a typical training day look like?
Every session begins with movement prep, which helps you get ready for the main lift or conditioning circuit. Skill work and more athletic movements are usually programmed at the beginning of workouts, followed by the more challenging lifts. Every session ends with recovery breathing. 55-65 mins avg
How should I communicate with my coach?
Coach T will pop in frequently to assess any questions related to form checks or specific programming questions. Coach Jill will be available daily for any immediate questions or concerns! Your questions will go answered within 24-48 hours!
