I've been working with Ryan for about 7 months now and I cannot recommend him enough!! When I first came to him I was specifically looking for someone with a lot of knowledge in the field. I wanted someone with a lot of certifications because I had seen trainers in the past who were good at going to the gym, but not good at TEACHING you how to work your body at the gym. Ryan not only had what i was looking for on paper, but he proved it in his sessions with me too. He was very attentive to my body, especially when I hurt my shoulder and he had to change up my routine on the fly. It's always a blast working with him and I never felt intimidated or scared to work with him. In fact he's really encouraging and I'm loving how my body works with me instead of against me now and I have him to thank!! More...

Ryan is awesome! He is fully invested in each and every one of his clients. He is very dedicated, knowledgeable, always accommodating, and super responsive. I have been struggling with finding the right diet and exercise regiment for a few years now since having children. Ryan created an exercise program for me to target the problem areas. I love and appreciate Ryan’s energy and his motivation for me to work harder and look better. I look forward to my gym sessions and I'm gateful that I found you. I unequivocally recommend Ryan to anyone that is serious about their health and fitness! More...

Ryan is awesome! He pushes me each session to do better then the next and encourages me throughout the week. He helps me stay accountable to my workouts in between sessions and always has suggestions for modifications or alternate exercises if I’m sore, tired or just having an off day so I have no excuse but to keep moving closer to my goals. You rock Ryan!!!

Ryan is fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and great to work with! I thought my chronic back issues would limit my workouts. But Ryan changed my exercises to movements that DID NOT CAUSE PAIN....AND MADE ME STRONGER. I highly recommend him!!! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
We use functional training! What this means is we teach you how to move. Believe it or not, as a babe we learn how to crawl, balance, and then walk. As we age we lose the ability to crawl, balance, and walk. So our training is designed to help you maintain these traits AND help you lose fat/gain muscle. It is simple!
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Our secret sauce is our customer service. Many trainers and gyms only care about the time you are with them. So if we have two, one-hour sessions per week, that is only about 1% of your total week. We ensure you are involved with us everyday! Enjoy our emails, our personal support from the team, and workouts to do at home.
What do you love most about your job?
I love love that I am able to change lives. Exercise has helped me become who I am today. Without exercise, I would be lost. It has taught me discipline, time management, and has made me more responsible. Because of exercise I have more energy, I am happier, and I look forward to moving daily! My goal is to help others do and feel the same.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always wanted to. As a personal trainer working for a larger facility, I felt limited on what I could do. I had to abide to their methods and their systems when I felt I could offer more. Being my own boss now allows me to do what I need to help my clients!
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I will be there with them every step of the way. I make eating and exercise as easy as it can be. While doing this clients will lose weight (an average of a pound a week) and clients will get better, feel stronger. I have had clients go skiing and feel a world of a difference. I have had clients be able to put on their underwear without falling over. I helped clients reduce blood pressure medication. Reduce depression. Overcome an eating disorder. I learn WHAT YOU NEED and I work on that. Every client gets a different protocol. No two people are alike. That is why.
