About Your Coach

You're Capable of More

You've just never had the right system, the right guidance, or the right person in your corner to help you get there. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't just about effort — it's about direction.

My name is TJ Mentus, and I've been a performance coach for over a decade. I didn't get into fitness to become a trainer. I got into it because it changed me. As a teenager I started lifting to get better at sports. What I didn't expect was that the gym would become the place where I learned the most about who I was and what I was capable of.

Almost a decade later, I'm still in the arena. I compete in CrossFit not because I have to, but because I refuse to ask my clients to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

I pay attention to the details most coaches miss: how one tight joint changes the way your whole body moves, how stress outside the gym shows up inside it, how the story you tell yourself determines your results long before you ever touch a weight. The physical and mental limitations holding you back are connected at the root. That's where I work.

My clients don't just get fitter. They find out what they're made of.

Find Out Where You Really Stand

Before you can build, you have to know your foundation. The Foundation Assessment is a free, six-test self-evaluation that shows you exactly where your bodyweight strength and conditioning stand right now — and gives you a clear, honest picture of where to put your focus.

No guesswork. No generic advice. Just six movements, your real numbers, and a personalized recommendation for your next step. It takes a little over ten minutes, and you can do it all at home with a pull-up bar to hang from.

Find your scores — then let's improve them.

Know Your Numbers

Stop Guessing What to Eat

You can train hard and still stall — because what you eat is where most people quietly lose ground. Not from a lack of effort, but from never knowing their real numbers, or what to put on the plate to hit them.

Get the calories and macros to aim for based on your goal — fat loss, muscle, or recomposition — set the way a coach would do it by hand. Then get a sample meal plan built to show you how you can hit those numbers, with workout- and rest-day examples, every recipe, a full grocery list, and smart swaps for your tastes and allergies. It all lands in your inbox, ready to use as your guide.

Buy once, use it for life. Come back any time your goals, weight, or training change — recalculate your macros and rebuild your sample days as often as you want. No subscription, no recurring fee.

Your Macro Targets

Based on your stats, goal, and activity level — a clear starting point, not a generic one-size number.

2 Sample Days of Eating Done For You

Recipes, Groceries & Swaps

Every recipe, a full shopping list, and easy swaps for your diet and allergies.
