Who's behind this

Hey, I'm Melissa Bull. Most people call me Mel B.

Everyone told me it was impossible.

In third grade, I wrote that I wanted to go to the Olympics. My teacher told me to pick something realistic. I'm from a town of 800 people with no cheer team at my high school, and my whole life people told me cheer wasn't a real sport, that it wouldn't take me anywhere.

I never did make the Olympics. But I pivoted, and I got to stand on a mat as one of only 24 athletes representing the United States at the highest level of our sport. That third-grade kid wanted to represent her country. She got there. Just not the way anyone in that classroom could have pictured.

None of it came from talent. I never even competed a full up until I got to Morehead. I've always been the one who had to work significantly harder than everybody else. Now I coach athletes and send them off to the D1 level, and I coached the U.S. Junior National Team after competing on it myself.

Nobody believed me, and I did it anyway.
So even if nobody believes in you, I do.
I'm rooting for you.

The programs

Get stronger at your position.

Strength built for what your position actually does on the mat. Not a general workout with your name on it.

Pick your position and see what's inside.

Written for high school and college athletes, roughly 14 to 22. Not middle schoolers. Where you start is set by how long you have been lifting, not how old you are, so a 14 year old and a 20 year old who are both new to it start at workout 1.

For backspots
The Backspot Program
You're the only one who can see it.

You start the weight and you fix what shifts before anyone feels it. This builds the strength to hold your part and the speed to save theirs.

24 workouts. 8 weeks. 3 a week. Warm-ups, timers, and tracking built in.
$59 launch price, about $2.50 a workout
Start the program, $59 →
For bases
The Base Program
You think this is about your legs. It isn't.

Legs alone will never get a stunt up. It's your arms, your core, and your timing firing together, and nobody trains a base like that. This does.

24 workouts. 8 weeks. 3 a week. Warm-ups, timers, and tracking built in.

For top girls
The Top Girl Program
Your job is to make it look like you're standing on the ground.

You're not. You're standing on humans, on a base the size of one foot, while everything moves. That takes a core that never turns off. That's a strength problem.

24 workouts. 8 weeks. 3 a week. Warm-ups, timers, and tracking built in.

Hear me

Like you're standing next to me at practice.

You're going to hear my coaching straight from me. This is the stuff I tell my athletes, and now you get to hear it too.

Work with me

Come to your gym. Your team. Your event.

Some of this does not fit in an app. If you want me in the room, or on the call, here is what that looks like.

For coaches

For the coach running the whole team.

Your athletes train every position. This lets you run all of them in one room, on your schedule, with your equipment.

Coming soon

The Coaches Program

Run the whole weight room

Backspots, bases, and top girls training in the same room at once, without you writing three separate plans. Pick your time, your equipment, and your access, and it builds the workouts across all 24 sessions and 8 weeks.

The Bullpen

The coach community

Coaching is lonely. You make every call by yourself and go home with nobody to ask if you got it right. The Bullpen is where that changes. Post what your team's stuck on, get real eyes on it, and stop troubleshooting alone.
