Meet your coach

Hey, I'm Kyle.

I built Strain Forward Fitness for people who want to get stronger but don't know where to start, or who've started before and got buried in complicated plans.

This course is the starting point I wish everyone had. Fifteen days, one short workout a day, and a workbook to keep you honest. You'll learn the basic movements, build some real strength, and prove to yourself that you can show up.

You don't need to be perfect. You just need to keep moving forward.

Start with day 1

Frequently asked questions

What's in the workbook?

All 15 workouts with every exercise, set and rep, the two guided recovery sessions, a simple tracker to tick off each day, and space to write notes on how each session felt.

Do I need any equipment?

Not for the first half. Days 1–8 are bodyweight only. From day 9 you'll want a pair of dumbbells. Light ones are perfect, and the day 9 email explains how to pick the right weight.

Is this beginner friendly?

Yes, it's built for beginners. Every exercise can be scaled down, the videos show you how, and recovery days are built in so you don't burn out in the first week.

Where are the videos?

All 15 lessons are free on YouTube. No signup needed to watch. Each daily email links straight to that day's video.

How do I get the workbook?

Enter your first name and email above. The workbook lands in your inbox within a few minutes. Check Promotions or Spam if you don't see it.

What happens after 15 days?

You'll have a routine and a solid strength base. If you want to keep going, the Strain Forward Fitness app gives you new structured workouts every week. Either way, I'll keep sending useful training tips.
