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.

Ryan is the best coach ever and good for senior citizens.

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!

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 personal training 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!

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!

Ryan exhibited exceptional professionalism throughout our initial and subsequent weeks. His meticulous observation of my strengths and weaknesses, enabled him to implement highly structured adjustments to my workout regime and dietary habits, his adaptable approach to appointments, accommodated my requirements and the gym’s cleanliness and organization played pivotal role in my recovery. Furthermore, he adeptly adapted my exercise routine to accommodate my injuries.

Ryan is a great motivator, he clearly explains his approach to my personal physical fitness and wellness needs.

My wife and I have never used a trainer before. We are in our mid-40’s and were not sure how to start or what we needed. We tried someone else first and it just wasn’t a good fit. Ryan, however, was perfect for us. He is professional, knowledgeable, motivating (through kindness and excitement, not just yelling to push out two more reps), and demonstrates a genuine interest in seeing us succeed. We can’t imagine working with anyone else and we are looking forward to working with him for a long time to come.

I am a 65-year old man, licensed psychologist, relatively healthy. I had worked with a number of PT's in the past but had not been able to continue over a long haul. Desperately recognizing strength training, I did internet search and found Ryan, who have received "Excellent" feedback from his clients. One of the most attractive things about Ryan was that he comes to my Pasadena house for training. Initially, we agreed to 3x's per week training for 3 months. Ryan helped me identify the equipments that I may consider purchasing, and I ended up setting up a small area for training (see the photo) in my house. Ryan is flexible in setting up the schedule and, if he is going to run late even for 5-minutes, he would inform me; when I need to change the appointment, Ryan accommodates without complaining. I know, in the past, some PT's were not as flexible and charged fees if I was not able to cancel or change the appointment time within a certain time frame. The value of personal PT is that I am motivated to push my limits. I learned from Ryan that strength training requires reaching the muscles' failure points. I also learned that 1 hour (50 minutes) weight training significantly improves my cardio-vascular conditioning. In the beginning, I was able to do 2 push ups. After 3-months training, to my surprise, I was able to do more than 20 push ups! After 3 months, we cut down the training to 2x's per week. I had never felt "healthy" and "strong" in my life. In September, unfortunately, I injured my groin from playing golf. The injury limited my training to only upper-body exercise. I know it would have been easy to give up working with Ryan in September, but I am glad I did not quit. Now, I meet with Ryan for upper-body work out. I am looking forward to recovery so that I can go back to core and lower-body work out. I am impressed by Ryan for his professionalism, expertise and outgoing personality. He is worth for every dollar I pay. Physical "work out" is a "work" but once I reach my initial goals the work out becomes much more pleasurable and improves not only the physical conditioning but also my mental and spiritual well-being. I highly recommend Ryan without no reservation!
