WHO THIS ISN’T FOR
We do not coach competitive bodybuilders or physique competitors. We respect that discipline, but it’s not our specialty—and we won’t pretend otherwise. If you're looking for cookie-cutter programs, or you're unwilling to track your food, log your training, and stay accountable to your goals, this probably isn’t the right fit.
Discuss wins, challenges, strategies, & gameplans along with movement analysis and protocol adherence. Your coach will provide consistent, feedback + support.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
After six weeks, I'm seeing gains in strength, performance, and endurance I haven't seen since I was in my 20's. Without the stress of programming, I'm free to just DO. And I rest easy every night knowing Coach Biays is diligently tracking my progress and ensuring every week - and many times daily - that I am training the appropriate session to maximize my progress. If you are on the fence, just know, that as long as you are willing to put in the work, the team at Dark Horse Athlete is going to give you a program built on consistent progress and maximum gains. You will NOT regret it.
NATHAN CRAFT
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I have been a personal programming client of Dark Horse Athlete for the last five years.
I was a competitive Crossfit athlete from 2013-2018. After tearing my ACL for the
second time, I needed a program that continued to progress my fitness in areas of
strength, power, endurance and work around my limitations but more importantly, keep
my body healthy. Dark Horse Athlete has provided me with nothing but the most
thoughtful/tailored programming. At 41 years old I'm training optimally 5-6 times a week
and my body feels great! I highly recommend Dark Horse Athlete for any fitness level.
JAKE EUSTROM // GENERAL FITNESS ATHLETE
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I had been training consistently for some time and found myself stuck in a plateau for the last
year; trying several different programs. I just wasn’t seeing any results and couldn’t get to the
next level. I met with Justin at Dark Horse Athlete desperately hoping a 1:1 coach could get me
out of my rut… and I’m so happy I did! I put my trust in Justin and am absolutely reaping the
rewards. I have put on over 5lbs of muscle in less than 2 months! I’m wicked pumped with my
progress so far and excited to keep working with Dark Horse Athlete to go even further."
KATIE HUCKETT
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"10 out of 10 recommend Justin over at Dark Horse Athlete! I engaged with Justin at a time when I needed one on one training assistance to recover and rehab from an injury. There is ZERO way I would have been back to full training without the guidance and training Justin provided. Not only did he provide the training and foundation to follow, but he was readily available anytime I had questions or concerns. Beyond the training, Justin was actively engaged with me as a person and gave me wisdom and tools to help with stressors outside of training to ensure external stress to the body was kept at a minimum. Further, Justin will go above and beyond to seek answers for any concerns I have and even seek third party input to solve every problem I encounter. If your looking to make improvements in your training, rehab or recover from injuries or looking for new and different ways to train, Justin is your guy!"
