"I've been with the Hybrid Strength Team since May 2nd and as of today, August 7th, 2023 I am now sitting at 160lbs, have decreased my marathon pace time from 10:33/mi to 9:49/mi, while increasing my strength 8-10% in bench, overhead press, squat, and deadlift."

MATTHEW HARPER

FIRST RESPONDER

"Dark Horse Athlete has been an absolute game changer for me. The strength team holds a solid foundation for improving your core lifts while also building conditioning. Within a few months my clothes fit better, I’m stronger, and I’m able to keep high energy during long tours in the field."

MIKE D.

WORKING PROFESSIONAL

"I’ve tried different programs over the years, but I think I’ve found the one this time. I’ve been on Hybrid Strength for several months now and have already noticed significant gains As a former athlete, It’s the perfect balance of main lifts, accessories and the right amount of conditioning for me."
