Congratulations to Tylie on an outstanding high school lacrosse career, earning USA Lacrosse Academic All-American recognition, two-time First Team All-State honors, and two-time First Team All-Conference honors. Now at the University of Chicago, we’re proud to celebrate the work she’s put into her development and everything she’s accomplished along the way.

Tylie began training with Corey after her sophomore year, working on strength, speed, and power that she credits with helping her performance during her junior and senior seasons.

A job well done to Corey, our Director of Sports Performance, for supporting her development over the past two years. It’s a privilege to be part of an athlete’s journey, and we look forward to cheering Tylie on in this next chapter.

The goal of rehabilitation is to help you move forward with enough confidence and independence that you no longer need your provider.

As Marc from ProMotion Performance Therapy explains, when care centers on someone repeatedly doing something to you, it can leave you relying on that treatment to keep going. His approach prioritizes your active role in recovery, helping you work through the issues you’re facing and return to fitness in a way you can sustain.

That’s the purpose of having ProMotion inside RTS in Hamden: connecting rehabilitation with training so you have a path back to exercise and the support to become more independent along the way.

When we talk about results, that includes what you’re able to keep doing as you get older. Looking good might be part of it, but so is feeling capable and having options in how you live your life.

That’s how we approach Adult Training at RTS: understanding what you want to keep doing, helping you build the capacity for it, and making the experience something you want to come back to.

The audio isn’t perfect, but this reflection from Coach Connor is too genuine not to share.

During a recent RTS staff workout, Connor experienced firsthand the value of having someone there to push you beyond what you might otherwise do on your own. It was a reminder of something he’d already seen make a meaningful difference for the members he coaches.

He shared an example of an RTS member who completed 10 Zercher squats and estimated she only had another two or three reps left in her. When Connor encouraged her to challenge that assumption on her next set, she completed 19 reps.

Experiencing that same encouragement himself during the staff workout reinforced just how valuable an engaged coach can be, even for someone who coaches others every day.

It’s a genuine reflection on the importance of coaching, the potential people don’t always recognize in themselves, and why even coaches benefit from being coached.

Struggling to consistently hit your protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets? The problem may be how you’re tracking (or not tracking) your meals.

Logging food in advance is an important skill to develop before trying to consistently meet specific macro targets.

Rather than making food choices throughout the day and trying to fit them into your remaining macros, Eliza teaches clients to plan and log their meals the night before or the morning of. It’s one of the foundational skills in RTS Nutrition’s individualized coaching approach.

The origins of nutrition at Ranfone Training Systems go back about eight years, when Mike Ranfone set out to help people become more educated consumers of food by understanding what they were eating and how their bodies responded.

The initial approach was intentionally simple, making nutrition easier for members to understand and practical for coaches to implement. It recognized that people bring different levels of knowledge, habits, and deeply held beliefs about food into the conversation.

Since then, RTS Nutrition has continued to evolve, particularly with the addition of Registered Dietitian Eliza Wendel Eliza Wendel , who has brought her expertise and helped advance the program.

It’s interesting to look back at where it started, how the approach has developed, and how the original emphasis on nutrition education continues to influence what RTS is building today.

How do you know when you’re actually ready to return to training after an injury?

At ProMotion Performance Therapy, located inside Ranfone Training Systems, we use VALD Technology to bring objective data into the rehabilitation process. By measuring strength, range of motion, and power output, our physical therapists can identify specific limitations, develop a plan to address them, and track measurable progress over time.

In this conversation, Mike Ranfone and Marc from ProMotion discuss how objective testing helps inform the transition from rehabilitation back to training, giving both clinicians and clients a clearer understanding of what the body is capable of handling.

The goal is to make decisions about your recovery based on measurable progress rather than guesswork.
