Upon working with Ryan, I had persistent back and shoulder pain, making activities like push-ups and sit-ups challenging and hurting my confidence.

AJ

Ryan helped me get back in the gym and it has become a part of my everyday life. Getting back into fitness can be hard when you're unsure where to start, but now, I feel significantly more confident about weightlifting. I consistently achieve new personal bests at the gym, increased strength in my muscles, and improved cardiovascular health. The initial intimidation factor associated with the gym and its super-fit patrons has dissipated.

I've come to recognize this fitness journey as a lifelong adventure, one that requires continuous effort and resilience—never giving up when faced with challenges or setbacks. I've adopted a mindset of self-reflection, regularly asking myself, 'How can I improve? What did I do well? How did I feel when I ate this or that?' This reflective approach has added depth to my journey.

Working with Ryan has been a rewarding experience, and I'm grateful for all that I've learned. The fact that I now wake up and willingly head to the gym every day is mind-blowing! Thanks to Ryan, I've embraced this healthy lifestyle as a consistent part of my daily routine.


viktor

Before teaming up with Ryan, I had a loved lifting, but the cycle of repeated injuries was holding me back. Ryan helped me strengthen underdeveloped areas while incorporating the workouts I love. This shift has allowed me to lift consistently without the need for frequent recovery from injuries.

Through working with Ryan, I've gained a deeper understanding of the importance of rest in my training regimen. I now realize that pushing for one more workout without adequate sleep or rest doesn't equate to real progress if it leads to injuries.

Ryan's thoughtfulness shines through in his coaching, and I've achieved a level of consistency without injury that surpasses any other period in my life—all without giving up my gummies!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ryan. He brings his awesome personality into his work and gives sensible advice that focuses on mental health as a critical aspect of physical health.

Jenny

Ryan is hands down the best trainer I've ever worked with. Thanks to him, I've developed a healthier relationship with both food and training. He emphasized the importance of not feeling guilty about taking breaks from workouts and taught me that it's okay not to exercise all the time. Surprisingly, with a reduced workout frequency, I still feel just as good, if not better. I no longer binge-eat because I’m eating enough, and it has made a huge impact on my overall well-being.
