Introduction: Ricky spent a decade managing and facilitating outdoor leadership courses for the State of Connecticut, Managing the creation of itineraries & logistics planning, maintaining equipment for adventure courses, training staff, and managing conflict between participants and staff. During that time Ricky discovered his passion for teaching and living an active lifestyle. He decided to merge his two passions and began his study at the Chek Institute and has received a holistic life coaching certificate. Ricky is also a former EMT-I and has multiple outdoor activity certifications. Ricky also holds certificates from Vanderbilt University and The University of Colorado in nutrition and healthy living and the human microbiome respectively. Ricky is also a certified functional movement specialist. Ricky has continued his education in both human health and wellness coaching and allows him to maintain a high level of success with his clients. One of the things that I truly believe helps my clients be successful is that they know I truly care about them. That's why I got into this business. Because I care, and I want to change people's lives. I'm beyond blessed to have this role. I have a personal goal to help 100 people create and meet their fitness goals this year!

I was signed up by a friend to do a 21 day challenge with Ricky and went into this thinking it was going to be like other trainers I've had in the past: they work at a gym, sell you a plan and schedule you in to do random exercises, then out the door you go so they can get to the next client. This is not what 108 Athletics is about! First of all, I was impressed with Ricky's innate desire to want to help people. His life experiences have molded him into a person who really wants to you become the best you can be - both mentally and physically. You never get the impression that you are just another cog in the wheel. He takes time with each person as if they are the only client he has. You never feel rushed off and your phone calls/emails as always addressed promptly. Part of his coaching technique is that every day we'd get an email of support, encouragement and ideas on how to change negative thinking, or offer tips on eating better. The workouts are not about pushing you to the point of death. (Thank God, because I would have walked out. I'm not in the frame of mind right now.) His workouts consist of using your body as resistance, making it easier on the joints and safer all-around. We worked on increasing flexibility and strength. I would sometimes leave thinking I didn't do much, but came home sweaty and my muscles let me know for a few days that they were worked! I can honestly say that I've never had a "getting in shape" experience quite like this one. In two weeks I've lost 5 pounds. This may not seem like much, but I didn't have to alter my diet too drastically. I cut out refined sugar, have limited my carbs and cut down on the fats. I eat about 5-6 small meals a day, still eat the things I like, without having cravings or feeling as though I'm being denied much. I also have more energy. My mindset is that this weight didn't come on overnight and to loose it safely and keep it off will not happen overnight either. Ricky's guidelines for eating are sensible. It's not a "diet". It's a reorienting of your way of eating that can easily morph into new lifestyle. I didn't follow the meal plan he gives us completely to the "T", and realize that others who have, have lost even more weight than me. Because I have a big family, and feed seven each day, I had to improvise to accommodate them. I guess this is another "kudo" - even if you improvise, you can still lose weight! As my rating indicates, 108 Athletics deserves every one of those five stars! Thank you, Ricky, and I look forward to continuing past my 21 days to becoming the new me!

Our trainer worked with us not only in scheduling the most convenient times, but worked specific muscles as well as great meal plans and health information.
