What is Tailboard S&C? Tailboard Strength & Conditioning is a weekly training program designed to make you stronger, faster, and more durable — without the guesswork. Built by a firefighter who competes in strongman and runs marathons, this isn’t one-dimensional training. It’s a well-rounded program that respects your time and delivers results. Who is it for? Anyone who’s tired of spinning their wheels. Whether you’re new to structured training or a seasoned athlete looking for a smarter plan, Tailboard meets you where you are. Every level is welcome. What’s included? 6 days of programming per week, updated every single week so the plan always stays fresh and intentional. You also get full access to community boards to train alongside others, leaderboards to track your performance and stay competitive, and direct coach access so you’re never left on your own. The bottom line. $15 a month. No fluff, no filler — just consistent, well-built programming from a coach who trains the same way he programs. Show up, do the work, get results.

Working as and with Firefighters and tactical athletes since 2014; CPT, Strongman competitor, and marathon runner. I built Tailboard for the person who's done guessing - simple, effective programming to get stronger, faster, and built to last. I love throwing down with my friends, and nothing brings me more joy than getting to share in their accomplishments.
You've been looking for a program. This is it. Six days a week, $15 a month, and a coach who's been there. There's no reason to wait and no excuse not to start. The only thing standing between you and a stronger, faster, and more durable version of yoursel

He finally got me there at the ripe young age of 42, i was stoked to finally join the 1000lb club. Thanks Riley, much appreciated."
When you join a team you’re getting more than programming, you’re joining an online community.
