In this episode of Between Two Racks with The KILO Crew, we break down what sets KILO’s education apart—and why we’ve spent nearly a decade building a true curriculum, not just standalone courses.

You’ll hear the full story: how we went from a our five day courses in 2016 to a system of 16+ interconnected courses that progress logically, layer by layer. We dive into how and why each course was developed, the difference between live and online delivery, and the core principles that guide every piece of our education.

More importantly, we want coaches to understand this:
Everything we teach is designed to be applied.

No fluff. No filler. Just clear, systematic strategies that help you write better programs, assess more effectively, and get results with real clients in the real world.

We cover:

  • Why program design and periodization are the cornerstone of every KILO course
  • How the MAP Assessment redefined our Foundation Specialty
  • The difference between live and online course delivery (and why both matter)
  • The purpose behind every specialty—from fat loss and hypertrophy to maximal strength and sports performance
  • How we filter out fluff and teach coaches what they actually need to know to drive client results
  • How the curriculum evolved from feedback and experience—not just theory

Whether you're just entering the KILO system or already neck-deep in courses, this episode is a deep dive into the philosophy, structure, and no-BS approach behind everything we teach.
