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 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!

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!

Ryan took me on knowing that I only had the funds to see him for a limited time. He used that time to teach me as much as possible, so I could continue on my own with a solid base of knowledge. By the end of my time with him, I felt confident I could continue to develop on my own without fear of injuring myself.
Some highlights from working with him:
- When I had an unusual medical issue pop up, he insisted that we take a break, so I could recover and see a doctor. He held the lessons I had paid for until I was able to return.
- He was always able to reschedule when reasonable unforeseen circumstances arose.
- From the beginning, he listened to my history of back injury and tailored the program to accommodate and improve my back. This got me to the point where I had no pain at all.
- He brought a fun lighthearted atmosphere to training while still pushing me to train harder, and he let me pick the music.
I could not give a higher recommendation for him. If you don’t hire him, you’re making a mistake. Period.

Working with Ryan has been an incredible experience! His professionalism and responsiveness truly stand out—he’s always on time, prepared, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. Ryan goes above and beyond, checking in regularly and providing thoughtful feedback that keeps you motivated and accountable.
As both a personaltrainer and life coach, he brings a perfect balance of structure, encouragement, and understanding. Every session feels personalized and purposeful, and he takes the time to explain not just what to do, but why it matters. His positive energy and dedication make it easy to stay consistent and confident in your progress.
If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your growth—physically, mentally, and emotionally—Ryan is the one to work with. Highly recommend!

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.
