Custom programming for Fitness
built around your body's true design.
We build around your structure, so you get fitter, move better, and hold up instead of breaking down.
Discover where your structure lands across the four designs, and the movement strengths (and blind spots) that come with it.
Breathe, move, then load, in the sequence and tempo your structure actually responds to. Create space where you're compressed, then build strength there.
Unlock stalled muscle, restore real range of motion, and get out of the pain cycle by training with your body instead of against it.
"How can I work smarter so I can go harder?"
This is the smarter way. Let's go harder.
Your design is defined by two things: whether you're a V-frame or an A-frame, and whether your rib angle is open or closed. Each comes with its own superpowers and its own way to train.
These aren't limits, they're a trail map. Plenty of great athletes train against their bias. Knowing yours just means you stop guessing. Concepts inspired in part by the work of Bill Hartman; Train by Design is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Bill Hartman or the UHPC.
The Functional Fitness flagship is live now. The sports with the most demand get built next, join a waitlist and cast your vote.
The foundation. Gets you out of pain and into where you want to be, where your body feels really good. If you're training for longevity and fitness, this is the one to run, a few times a year. Feel good, look good, move well. Tuned to all four designs.
Trains differently for a narrow A than a wide V, the engine you build depends on the frame you start with.
Endurance is home turf for the A-frames. We sharpen it and shore up what your design is missing.
Get your numbers up, without grinding max-effort lifts that fight your structure. Proof the method works.
For when you want to run and lift without the two working against each other. Balanced to your design.
Rotational power and durability for the course, mapped to how your body rotates and loads.
Don't see your sport? Tell us what you're chasing and we'll build the ones people want most.
The Functional Fitness flagship is live. Add your name to a waitlist. The sports with the most demand get built first, each one mapped to all four designs.
Track the mobility and strength you actually own, and watch your genuine range of motion grow session to session.
Follow programming built around your design: the breathing drills, tempo, and lifts your structure responds to.
Log every lift and check your form against video demos, so each rep respects your joints and keeps you training.
Restore genuine range of motion with the positional drills and integration work mapped to your structure.
Three ways in, from self-guided to fully coached.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Try it risk free. If it's not for you, email your receipt for a full refund.
Take the free Design Finder. A few quick questions (no photos, no gym, nothing sent anywhere) and we'll place you on the four-design grid and show what it means for how you should train.
Most training treats every body the same, which really means it fits no one, so you push harder and drift further from where you want to go. This flips it: we start with your body, your design, and build the training around it.
