Daily Burn’s Athletic Edge program is a 5-workout, sport-focused track built for people who already play a sport — or want to move like they still do — combining sport-specific training with targeted strength, mobility, and endurance work to boost performance and cut injury risk. It’s one of the newest additions to Daily Burn’s 69-program library, tagged Strength and Mobility at an Intermediate-to-Advanced difficulty, and it’s led by Coach Kurt Ellis. This guide covers what the program actually trains, who it’s built for, and what to expect from the trainer leading it.
What Is the Daily Burn Athletic Edge Program?
Athletic Edge is designed for people who want to stay strong, fit, and ready for the sports they love. The program combines sport-specific training with targeted strength, mobility, and endurance moves aimed at enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injury — improving flexibility, core stability, balance, and muscular endurance so athletes can maintain their competitive edge, move with confidence, and stay active for years to come. It runs 5 workouts, tagged Strength and Mobility in Daily Burn’s program library, at an Intermediate-to-Advanced difficulty level.
Who Athletic Edge Is Built For
The Intermediate/Advanced tagging is the clearest signal here: this isn’t an entry point into exercise, it’s a program for people who already have some training background and want that training to carry over to a specific sport or activity. Recreational and competitive athletes — anyone playing pickup soccer, rec-league volleyball, weekend tennis, or training for a season — are the clearest fit, since the program’s focus (flexibility, core stability, balance, muscular endurance) targets the physical qualities that actually show up in sport performance rather than general calorie burn. If you’re newer to structured exercise, Daily Burn’s True Beginner program or one of its other beginner-tagged tracks is the more appropriate starting point before working up to Athletic Edge.
Meet the Trainer: Kurt Ellis
Athletic Edge is coached by Kurt Ellis. Born and raised in Jamaica, Ellis was immersed in an active lifestyle centered around movement, nutritious food, and positive energy from an early age — a passion that evolved into a competitive athletic career spanning football, volleyball, soccer, and track and field. He now works with the wellness brand The LIV Method and is the founder and head coach of Beyond Numbers Performance, where he coaches everyday athletes by integrating nutrition, recovery, lifestyle habits, and mindset — what he describes as his four core pillars of performance and well-being. That multi-sport background is a direct fit for a program built around general athletic performance rather than one narrow training style.
How Athletic Edge Fits Into Daily Burn’s Library
Athletic Edge is one of the five newest programs added to Daily Burn’s library, alongside Ever Strong, Fierce & Fit For Women, the 15-Min. Beginner’s Guide, and Retro Sculpt Volume II. Most of Daily Burn’s 69 programs skew toward general strength, cardio, or mobility goals; Athletic Edge is one of the few built specifically around sport performance and injury-risk reduction rather than a general fitness or weight-loss outcome, which makes it a distinct pick if that’s specifically what you’re training for.
What to Expect From the Program
Because Athletic Edge is tagged Strength and Mobility, expect sessions that mix resistance work with mobility and stability drills rather than pure cardio conditioning — consistent with the program’s stated focus on flexibility, core stability, balance, and muscular endurance. At 5 workouts, it’s a shorter, more targeted program than Daily Burn’s longer tracks, built to be layered into an existing training routine (or a sport season) rather than serve as someone’s only structured exercise for months at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Daily Burn Athletic Edge program for?
Athletes and active people who already play a sport or do regular activity and want training built around performance, flexibility, core stability, balance, and muscular endurance — not a program for someone starting exercise from zero.
How many workouts are in Athletic Edge?
Five, at an Intermediate-to-Advanced difficulty level.
Who is the trainer for Athletic Edge?
Coach Kurt Ellis, founder and head coach of Beyond Numbers Performance, who also works with the wellness brand The LIV Method. He has a multi-sport competitive background spanning football, volleyball, soccer, and track and field.
Is Athletic Edge a good starting point if I’m new to exercise?
No — its Intermediate/Advanced tagging assumes some existing training background. Daily Burn’s True Beginner program is the better starting point if you’re new to structured exercise.
Is Athletic Edge tagged for weight loss?
No. It’s tagged Strength and Mobility, focused on athletic performance and injury-risk reduction rather than weight loss specifically — Daily Burn’s Weight Loss For Beginners or HIIT programs are built around that goal instead.
How is Athletic Edge different from Daily Burn’s other newest programs?
It’s one of five programs Daily Burn added most recently (alongside Ever Strong, Fierce & Fit For Women, the 15-Min. Beginner’s Guide, and Retro Sculpt Volume II), and the one specifically built around sport-specific performance rather than a general strength, cardio, or beginner focus.
Does Daily Burn offer a free trial to try Athletic Edge?
Daily Burn doesn’t offer a free trial — membership is backed by a money-back guarantee instead, so you can start Athletic Edge and get your money back if it’s not the right fit. Membership runs $19.99/month and includes the full program library — workout videos combined with 1:1 nutrition coaching — not just Athletic Edge on its own.
