Compound Strength and Performance — Local services in Bellevue

Tyler has been my coach for years, now he also coaches both of my teenage kids who have strong individual needs. He’s very knowledgeable, professional, observant, patient, supportive, extremely kind and caring! He’s attentive to details, particularly when it comes to posture and muscles. He’s also an active listener - my workout is not only personalized to keep me challenged and progressing, but also adjusted according to things going on in my day/life and how my body feels. He can do so without thinking, like it just comes naturally to him. He’s never judgmental or negative, I always feel safe and comfortable with him while he’s making me stronger by building my muscles and confidence simultaneously. His holistic approach to wellness makes him more than just a fitness coach! He focuses on lasting gym experience so I know exactly what to do and how to correctly exercise without injuries when I’m by myself. He respectfully cares about my lifestyle, as a result, I’ve become healthier and more mindful of my nutrition, sleep, mental wellness… etc. As a bonus, I receive weekly newsletters with educating materials put together by two dedicated people, Alaina & Tyler, who are obviously passionate about health and fitness, not to mention the helpful videos of demonstrations on their Instagram. My biggest challenge is motivation, so I had never worked out at all until I met Tyler in my 40’s. Stepping into the gym was an intimidating decision I’m proud of making, but having the right coach is crucial to my persistence through the years. Tyler may or may not be my lifelong coach, but the unique impact he has on me and my kids is definitely powerful, life-changing and...

I reached out to Tyler at a particularly low point. I hadn’t exercised regularly in almost a decade. We met over a video call and he was curious and affirming from the jump.

The first session was grueling, learning foundational movements and how to listen to the feedback my body was giving me. I can only describe the sessions that followed as life-changing. Not only did Tyler make thoughtful adjustments to my program, he also adjusted how he coached and encouraged me. Beyond the purpose of the exercises and the focus on form, he trained me to be present and push to get the most out of each rep, set, and workout.

Tyler also pointed me toward nutrition and hydration goals that have helped me totally transform my body. I came to our first session weighing somewhere near 140 pounds. Today, just a couple of months later, I’m weighing in at 170 pounds (for context, I’m 25, 5’11”). The most important improvements have been in my functional strength, energy, and mood.

I had tried and failed for years to make exercise and strength training a part of my life. It stuck this time, and the only difference is that I’ve had help. It has been focused, consistent, and intentional. Progress is marginal, you’ll feel it before you see it, but it can really add up quickly.

Tyler and Alaina seem to be building an incredible community. If you’ve read this far, you should be a part of it. Stop waiting, start moving, they’ll...

My family and I have been training with Tyler and Alaina at Compound Strength and Performance for several years. They are amazing. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They are talented coaches. If you think strength training and fitness coaching is easy, or there's little difference among trainers, you're wrong. I've worked with at least a dozen coaches, trainers, and physical therapists over the years. Tyler is hands down the best.

I've had back pain over time and have been hesitant to lift weights. I want to maintain muscle mass as I age, and be able to lift my bags into an overhead bin with ease when I'm 70. But I've tried everything and, until I started working with Compound Strength and Performance, strength training caused backpain to flair.

I started working with Tyler six months ago and I am able to strength train without back pain. I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident moving outside the gym, It's amazing.

Tyler is super attentive to technique and how my body reacts to movement. He's recommended big and sometimes very small adjustment that make an outsized difference. Shifting weight from my heals to my toes, changing my grip angle from 90 degrees to 45 degrees, displacing my weight when I bench press to take pressure off my back, a consistent stretching routine - these big and small things have made a huge difference.
