I couldn’t be happier with my decision to start working with Ryan. He has a great way of putting you at ease and keeping things fun. He has me putting in the work but is always looking out and making sure I’m good and not pushing beyond what is safe which I appreciate having struggled with asthma and a couple other health issues. He’s not only present throughout the session but makes him self available for any questions outside of our time together. A month in and I’m already noticing more progress than what I felt after months with a previous trainer. I always have a good time in there and am looking forward to many more sessions with him.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you’re enjoying it, and I look forward to continuing our progress together!

I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant to start working with a physical trainer, but Ryan's been amazing! I'm an older client and have years of work-related neglect to recover from. Ryan has met me where I am and helped me improve step-by-step. He's kind, he listens and he adapts his approach on a dime. After a couple months I'm already feeling stronger and more flexible. For added value, ask him about movies between sets!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I’m really happy to see how much progress you’ve already made. Looking forward to continuing to build on that progress together! And of course, the movie talk between sets makes it even better! Haha!

Our 13-year old special needs son has been working with Ryan for the last year. Ryan has shown time and time again that, yes he’s a great trainer, but also that he cares deeply for all aspects of his clients’ wellness, even when that means a session doesn’t go exactly as planned. Our son loves “Ryan days” and looks up to him as a kind and caring mentor. We are so thankful to be working with Ryan!

I started going to Ryan because I had no experience working out. Six months later, I’m more in shape than I’ve ever been, confident in the gym, and - armed with the knowledge from our personaltraining sessions - I feel compelled to exercise just to apply what he has taught me. He's also cool and nice, so I look forward to our sessions every week. Highly recommend!

I found Ryan while looking for a personaltrainer for my grandmother! Ryan has been absolutely wonderful throughout this process, from setting up the initial session to touch points about her progress. My grandmother has had nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Ryan and has noticed such an improvement in her strength and functional mobility. This is her first time strength training and she tells me how well Ryan has helped explain all the movements to her and encouraged her. I can see how much easier it is for her to get out of her chair and stay active through the day. She is well into her 80s and you would never be able to guess! Me and my family are very grateful!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Not only do I continue to study and learn the art of fitness, but I've also started to pursue a career as an EMT paramedic.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started working out at a younger age. I got really interested in not only training but the anatomy part of it all as well. It led me to getting my certification and pursuing a job as a trainer.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Active exercising and learning how to do them. Getting the heart rate up and into the fat burning and cardiovascular zones for improved performance. In time you will see that it doesn't take much more than simply getting 30-60 min of activity a day to live a healthier and longer life.
