Former Athletes

Tone Your Body. Regain Your Energy + Drive. Feel Like Yourself Again.

You already won at your career. Somewhere in the 50-hour work weeks, the athlete you used to be got left behind. This is how you get them back — the body, the energy, the edge — without putting your life on hold.

What We Build Together

The Rebuild

Training For The Athlete Brain

A program that respects how you were built to move and fits a 50-hour week — not a generic split written for someone who's never competed.

Nutrition With A Plan

A custom grocery list every single week — built around your macros, your goals, and your schedule. Real food, structured like you're back in season, so the 15-20 pounds actually come off.

A Coach In Your Corner

Weekly check-ins and direct access. The accountability you had with a team and a coach — rebuilt around you. This is the part that makes it stick.

Someone Who Gets It

Former D1 goalkeeper, five years at UConn. I know what it's like when the structure disappears — and exactly how to build it back.

You're not signing up for a workout plan. You're getting back the version of yourself you thought you left on the field.

Limited roster — I only take on a handful of athletes at a time.

About Your Coach

Kyle

Founder & CEO, Large Dumbbells

I'm Kyle — founder and CEO of Large Dumbbells, and a former Division 1 goalkeeper. I spent five years at UConn, three of them as captain, living inside the structure that makes an athlete who they are: the early mornings, the film, the team counting on you every single day.

When it ended, it ended fast. I went from a system that demanded my best to nothing but my own willpower — and I found out the hard way that willpower alone doesn't rebuild anything. So I built the system back for myself.

Large Dumbbells came out of that. I coach former athletes because I am one — and because I know exactly what it feels like to watch the version of yourself you built on the field start to slip. My job is to put you back on a system worthy of the competitor you still are, and hold you to it until you feel like yourself again.
