Fabulous UI and Content
This app is gorgeous! Such an intuitive interface and packed full of so much information. The Lyss Method team did a fabulous job being comprehensive with their materials and programming.
The programming itself is AMAZING! Having floundered trying to incorporate productive cardio into my lifting for years, it’s remarkable how simple this has made it. 100% recommend.

Great programming
Great strength and cardio programming. It’s not the type of app with follow along workout videos, but a well thought out strength program. Coaches are available for discussion of personal goals as well. It’s an amazing app if you’re looking for high quality strength programming without the huge price tag of a personal trainer.

Love LTM!
I’ve been a happy TLM member since 2020 in the days you’d have to set a reminder to sign up because spots were limited.
Since using TLM, I’ve successfully ran my first half marathon in 2021, hiked many miles across the country, started strength training, & built the fitness to say “Yes” to different things in life.
The coaches are super helpful making sure you’re set up with the correct programming & making adjustments if necessary. They’ll also provide form feedback to ensure you’re doing your lifts correctly.
Community spaces allow you to ask questions & get answers for different fitness related things. There’s also a vast list of resources.
If you’re considering TLM, I’d tell you to try it out!

Overhyped and Inaccessible
I had three months of access to The Lyss Method (TLM) and, as a seasoned and consistent exerciser who has tried many different programs, I couldn’t make it past four weeks. I tried two of the programs offered—METCON and LIFESTYLE—but neither met my expectations.
Although TLM is marketed as an “at-home workout” program, it requires an extremely robust home gym setup to follow along properly. Equipment like barbells, lots of plates, hex bars, benches, and other items are often necessary—none of which I have. I own 12 sets of dumbbells and a bench, which I believe is a solid foundation for home workouts, but it still wasn’t sufficient for these programs.
The cardio programming was another letdown. For the METCON program, the “cardio” warmups often consisted of a 5-minute video of someone biking on a stationary bike or similar instructions like “ROW for this long” or “RUN for this many minutes.” The cardio “library” was similar—while there were a few actual follow-along cardio classes, much of it was uninspiring and felt like filler. Watching someone bike for five minutes as “programming” felt underwhelming and unhelpful.
The LIFESTYLE program also felt inaccessible without all the equipment required for the at-home version. Despite the hype surrounding TLM, I found the programs overcomplicated for a home gym setup, overhyped in terms of what they deliver, and overpriced for what you actually get.
Overall, I was disappointed with TLM and would not recommend it, especially to those looking for truly accessible and functional at-home workouts. There are other programs out there that offer much more value, flexibility, and thoughtfulness in their design.
