Meet the Founder

Ryan is a veteran health and fitness expert with nearly 20 years of experience in the personal training industry. Currently the founder and head trainer of his private practice in River North, Chicago, Ryan specializes in 1-on-1 and Small Group personal training designed for long-term health and performance.

Throughout his distinguished career, Ryan has honed his craft at premier fitness institutions including David Barton Gym and Equinox, and has successfully owned and operated his own training facility. His approach is deeply rooted in clinical movement science, holding certifications from NASM and DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization). Ryan’s expertise is further elevated by his work and mentorship under renowned physical therapist and DNS instructor Dr. Robert Lardner, as well as coursework through the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI).

By blending elite-level sports and injury rehabilitation insights with decades of industry experience, Ryan has developed a proprietary training process focused on helping clients lose weight, build strength, and achieve a leaner, healthier physique that lasts. His methodology begins with a deep dive into the individual: identifying their unique starting point, fitness history, and personal tendencies to create a truly individualized, effective, and efficient program.

Hi, I’m Ryan!

I’ve been a personal trainer for over 14 years working in big box gyms, private studios, and physical therapy clinics.
I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer as well as a DNS- exercise specialist.
I coach, teach, and present about human movement and how to effectively use strength training as a tool to achieve fitness goals without getting hurt.

I take pride in understanding how the human body moves and how to help people improve that movement to look better and feel better.

Having dealt with multiple knee injuries in my early 20s and later back problems in my early 30s, I had to fight my way out of a weak core and a flat butt. Learning from some of the smartest people in the health and fitness industry is how I did it.

Now I’m here bringing you the knowledge and experience I acquired over 20+ years to help you get the butt and body of your dreams.
