About Coach Tyrone Irby

​

Tyrone Irby has been a strength coach in the Raleigh Durham area for the past 24 years. Certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), he has worked for commercial fitness facilities and as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach for North Carolina Central University (NCCU).

 

In 2015, he opened the Choice Performance Center/Stronger and Faster Durham. Over the past 10 years, he has partnered with local running retailers and run groups to offer strength training for runners of all ages and abilities.  Working under CSCCS Master Strength Coaches, he developed his FIB system (Function, Impact, and Balance) which has helped hundreds of runners and triathletes continue to perform after injury and advancing age.  Stronger and Faster has offered a 10-week Strength for Runners class since 2013.

​

In June 2020, Irby founded Together We Stand NC, an organization to build greater social awareness among genders, races, and people of all abilities.

 

In 2024, the Stronger and Faster “Your Move” app was launched, providing a movement-based program aimed at improving everyday movement patterns to enhance running strength, endurance, and economy.

 

 

Tyrone lives in Durham with his amazing wife Crystal and their three dogs Bella, Peyton, and Pearl.
