  • Feeling strong, capable, and ready for anything life throws your way.
  • Choosing adventures that require real physical confidence.
  • Booking trips that once felt out of reach—and actually enjoying them.
  • Keeping up with family, friends, and everything that makes life fun.
  • Looking like you take care of yourself, because you genuinely do.

These are some of our client results & they can be yours, too.
THE SCIENCE OF GREAT HEALTH IS UNIVERSAL. THE ART IS YOURS.
There are proven principles for how people 40+ build strength, manage energy, and stay capable for decades. That’s the science—clear, evidence-based, and reliable.
How you apply those principles to your own body, schedule, and priorities? That’s the art.
"Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own." - Bruce Lee
At Tigers Eye Life, we combine both: research-backed systems refined for busy, high-achieving adults, personalized to fit your real world.
Because great health isn’t about copying someone else’s plan. It’s about mastering the principles, then shaping them into a life that’s unmistakably yours.

That’s why our members stay for years, not weeks—because once you understand how to make health your own, it becomes part of who you are.
Tigers Eye Life POWER Method
It brings science and personalization together. It’s not another list of habits—it’s a clear, adaptable system for mastering the fundamentals that matter most: how you think, how you act, how you recover, and how you sustain progress.

Each domain builds on the others, creating lasting strength, energy, and resilience you can rely on for decades.

Patterns: Master What Drives You

You can’t change what you don’t see.We help you spot the habits and thought loops that quietly drain progress—and replace them with systems that make consistency automatic.When your patterns align with your goals, discipline feels natural instead of forced.

Ownership: Build Unshakable Confidence

Success in health, like success in life, starts with taking ownership.We guide you to create personal systems, not dependencies—so every decision reinforces autonomy, clarity, and trust in yourself.You stop chasing motivation and start leading your own momentum.

Whole-Food Wisdom: Fuel for Real Life

Nutrition without the noise.Learn simple, science-based strategies that stabilize energy, support strength, and fit your actual lifestyle.No rigid plans—just clear principles that make eating well effortless and sustainable.

Energy: Power Your Body, Mind, and Mood

Energy isn’t just physical—it’s a full-system upgrade.Our framework builds physical strength, sharpens mental focus, and stabilizes emotional resilience through deliberate training, recovery, and rhythm design.You’ll move better, think clearer, and feel more grounded—so your energy lasts all day and supports every part of your life.

Resilience: Stronger Under Pressure

Life doesn’t pause for your health goals.We teach recovery, sleep, and stress regulation as performance skills that keep you steady when things get chaotic.Resilience turns stress into strength—and ensures progress continues, even under pressure.

Together, these 5 domains create a blueprint for sustainable capability—clear enough to follow, flexible enough to live well.
How We Live The Art of Energy & Strength

Our guiding principles for building freedom one deliberate practice at a time.
MASTERY: Freedom Through Discipline and Progress
True freedom is built, not wished for.
Small, consistent actions compound into capability.
Strength training becomes practice for life—discipline that expands, not restricts.
PRECISION: Intentional Action, Meaningful Impact
Every rep, meal, and decision matters.
We cut through noise so your effort translates to results that last.
Your time is valuable; your actions should be, too.
ADAPTABILITY: Progress that Travels with You
Careers, travel, family, and curveballs—life doesn’t slow down, and you don’t have to either.
Our systems flex with your reality, keeping momentum steady when things get demanding.
Consistency > perfection.
HARMONY: Health that Fits Your Life
Health isn’t a rival to ambition; it’s what powers it.
We align strength, recovery, and nutrition with your values so progress supports your work, relationships, and adventures.
COMMITMENT: Valuing the Process, Not Just the Result
Transformation isn’t a single goal—it’s an ongoing practice of showing up.
Commitment turns knowledge into mastery and mastery into freedom.
Hint: Click any ▶️ to learn more
ENERGY & STRENGTH: WHAT REALLY MATTERS
In a world chasing quick fixes, accomplished people understand that capability is the real currency of freedom.
Energy means mental clarity for complex decisions, emotional steadiness under pressure, and physical vitality that lasts beyond the afternoon slump.
Strength means resilience when setbacks hit, confidence to set boundaries, and the capacity to say yes to experiences others only dream about.
Together, they create genuine freedom—the ability to live life on your terms, powered by a body and mind that can keep up with your ambitions.
The Capable Person Who Wants More
And Is Ready to Invest in Their Future

You've built success in life. Now it's time to make sure your health keeps up.
The Capable Person Who Wants More
But might be experiencing these
Your body isn’t responding like it used to. Energy fades faster. Sleep doesn’t feel as restorative. Your weight has shifted even if your habits haven't.
You may strength train or exercise regularly, but not with a plan that builds capability over time. You know strength matters and your progress feels stalled. And yet, you haven’t built a system that compounds progress over time.
You can feel that something’s missing—an edge, a spark, the confidence that your body can keep up with your ambitions.
You’re not here for excuses or empty motivation. You simply know there’s more in you, and you’re done letting outdated methods or midlife myths hold you back.

You refuse to accept that your best years are behind you. You’re ready to build the strength, energy, and presence that prove your most capable years are still ahead
What you want
You want consistent, reliable energy that carries you through demanding days — and nights worth staying awake for.
You want protection against muscle loss, bone loss, and burnout so your capability keeps expanding, not shrinking.
You want to be stronger at 65 than you were at 50.

You want your body working for you, not against you.
You want to keep saying yes — to work that matters, adventures that excite you, and people who keep you young.
You want undeniable vitality and presence that command respect and quietly defy age-based assumptions.
CLAIM YOUR PRESENCE
You’ve built experience, insight, and credibility over decades—
yet sometimes, the world underestimates you.
People start making quiet assumptions about your limits instead of your potential. In fact, you may be wondering about your future.
When you build more strength and energy, things shift.
You move differently. You speak with authority.
You feel like the best version of yourself—only sharper, steadier, more capable.
For some, it’s about shedding the invisibility that crept in.
For others, it’s about pushing the edge, enhancing confidence,
and building vitality that make you stand out.
Either way—the shift is undeniable.
More strength changes everything—and how the world responds to you.

MEET YOUR GUIDES
Our commitment to a quality life
What makes Tigers Eye Life truly different is how we connect tangible physical results with a fundamentally better experience of living.
When you build more energy and capability, your world expands.
Vacations become adventures, evenings become opportunities, and your future opens wider than before.
The strength you gain doesn’t just change your body—it transforms how you show up in relationships, work, and self-belief.
This isn’t about short-term fitness; it’s about creating a foundation for everything you want to do and become.
Our commitment to the earth
We believe humans thrive when we’re connected—to our environment, our rhythms, and our purpose.
Modern life often pulls us off balance: screens, stress, processed food, and disconnection. These inputs can leave us overstimulated yet undernourished, busy yet unfulfilled.
Our approach honors the wisdom of traditional practices while integrating modern science to help restore natural balance, focus, and calm.
We guide clients to live in rhythm with nature—minimizing what drains us and maximizing what restores us.
This is about living well in a modern world—grounded, energized, and aware.

WHAT TO EXPECT
WHEN YOU WORK WITH US
How our approach to living well
shapes your coaching experience
Coaching with us is a partnership built on trust, curiosity, and consistency.
We combine structured systems with genuine care—because progress isn’t just about what you do, but how you feel while doing it.
"What I do is discover and uncover... my job is to take the spark and fan it until you really got a fire going."
- Cus D'Amato, legendary boxing trainer
(A philosophy Ryan lives by)
We bring joy to the process
Health and strength should energize, not exhaust you. We make the process enjoyable and sustainable — because progress sticks when it feels good to live this way.
We stay curious about your unique situation
No cookie-cutter advice here. We ask questions, track patterns, and personalize what actually works for your body, schedule, and goals.
We're committed to your transformation
We’ll meet you where you are, but we won’t let you stay there. We hold you accountable with empathy — and help you build real momentum through clear, consistent action.
We build genuine community
Progress accelerates when you’re surrounded by people who get it. You’ll connect with others who are strong, smart, and striving — just like you.
We use systematic approaches
Random workouts and guesswork don’t build mastery. Our programs follow proven progressions so you can see and feel measurable improvement over time.
We model the discipline we teach
We practice what we coach — in strength, nutrition, mindset, and recovery. You’ll see us living the same principles we teach every day.
We blend science with real-world application
Evidence matters. So does lived experience. We translate the science into strategies that fit your real life — practical, flexible, and sustainable.
This is what it means to train for a limitless future — structure, heart, and coaches who believes in your potential as much as you do.
YOUR EXPANSIVE FUTURE
Something shifts when you feel stronger and more capable—
not just in your body, but in how you see yourself.
You stop making choices from limitation and start making them from possibility.
Health stops being maintenance. It becomes momentum.
And with every deliberate choice—every workout, every meal, every moment of rest—your future expands. And health & fitness become who you are and how you live.

Effortlessly.
This is what it means to live with strength that sustains you, energy that fuels you, and confidence that opens doors you didn’t even know were there.

Karen Falkenberg
Karen's journey embodies the transformation possible at any stage of life. From marathon runner (in the left photo below) to black belt martial artist, to a practicing health & fitness specialist, her path illustrates how evolution and adaptation create extraordinary results.
Karen faced a pivotal moment at age 61 when a car accident resulted in a concussion that required her to relearn how to walk. At the time, she was also burdened by her decade long passage through menopause without support or knowledge. So, at 61, two years after the center photo, she was heavier more metabolically compromised and weaker than ever. Her efforts at great health were failing, big time.

Three months into her rehabilitation, she stepped into a gym to heal, discovered strength training with Ryan and her life forever changed. Strength training not only restored her health but transformed her understanding of what's possible after 60.
With a background as a research engineer, educator, leadership coach and psychology professor, Karen brings analytical precision and deep empathy to her coaching. Her ability to connect with clients while creating systems for sustainable change has made her a trusted guide for women. Her own experience rebuilding her foundation makes her the perfect guide for those ready to transform their relationship with health.
Karen has expertise in mindset, personal development and learning and certifications as a Master Health Coach, and as a functional nutrition & metabolism specialist. She's led over 1,000 online group strength training sessions for clients and has found that earring missing in the third photo. She's excited to be celebrating her 68th birthday this year.
"Our coach role is to help you reach your health & fitness potential so your future opportunities are limitless."
