UNC Kenan Stadium and the Bell Tower — Chapel Hill, NC
Day One

Stuck inside the limits.

Old patterns. Doubt under the bar. The body knows; the mind talks you out of it.

The work

We go to work.

Strength. Conditioning. Mindset. Real conversations between sets — built on eight years and 18,000 sessions.

Greatness

A leader walks out.

Limits destroyed. Goals chased. The same person, with greatness revealed.

01 / 03

As a former Tar Heel athlete who carried his passion off the field and into real life, my mission is to help people destroy limitations and chase their goals. Beyond the gym, I focus on mindset and purpose — serving athletes, professionals, and the greater public since 2017.

What I do

Six programs, one philosophy.

Train the mind with physical results. Whether you're chasing a championship, a comeback, or another decade of mobility — the work is the same.

01

Personal Training

1-on-1 strength, conditioning, and movement programming. Built around your goals, your schedule, your body — coached on every rep.

02

Lifestyle Coaching

Mindset, recovery, nutrition, sleep — the 23 hours outside the gym that decide what happens in the gym. Habits that compound.

03

Athlete Development

Programming for collegiate and pro athletes. Sport-specific strength, speed, and the mental edge — drawn from a Carolina playbook.

04

Senior Fitness

Mobility, balance, and strength for older adults. Train to live longer, move better, stay independent. Real progress, every session.

05

Mental Performance

3,500+ sessions in mental health, applied where it matters. Concussion-informed mental work, focus training, and resilience under load.

06

Concussion Recovery

A specialty — guided return-to-activity for athletes and active adults recovering from head injury. Built from research and lived experience.

Meet your coach

I help people destroy limitations and chase their goals.

I'm a former Tar Heel athlete who carried my passion off the field and into real life. Beyond the gym I focus on mindset and purpose — serving academics, athletes, and the greater public since 2017.

Eight years. Eighteen thousand sessions. Pro athletes, high-level military, older adults navigating complex issues. The common thread is simple: everyone possesses greatness — my job is to reveal it and create leaders who make the world a better place.

Everyone possesses greatness. My job is to reveal it.

Cary's Choice · 2025
A former Tar Heel — teaching what the field taught him.
The process

From first call to first PR.

01

Discovery

Phone call. Goals, history, limitations, schedule. We map what greatness looks like for you.

02

Programming

A custom plan — strength, mindset, recovery. Built for your body and your week.

03

Training

Sessions in person or hybrid. Real-time coaching on the rep, on the breath, on the doubt.

04

Progression

Quarterly reviews. New PRs, new ceilings, new identities. Repeat.

Tyler doesn't just train your body — he rewires what you think you're capable of. I came in for strength and walked out a better leader.
