RYAN
Coach
I’ve been an athlete my whole life, but right before COVID I discovered my true passion for fitness—and it completely changed me. From running and lifting to walking and everything in between, I love moving in any way I can. With a degree in Exercise Science, I’m excited to keep learning and growing while helping others reach their own goals. I believe the key to success is starting with the basics—understanding the “why” and building a strong foundation—before pushing into bigger challenges. Outside of training, I love playing ultimate frisbee, traveling, and finding fun ways to stay active no matter where I am. Fitness has given me so much, and I can’t wait to share that same energy and passion with others.

VIN
Coach
My passion for fitness started as just a hobby back when I was only 16 but turned into a passion. Today I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology from Penn State University with a background in physical therapy. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach through National Academy of Sports Medicine. I have competed in one show (Summer Shredding Classic) and took 1st place for my class.
Fitness is my passion! Being able to do this as a profession is a dream come true. I love helping people create a sustainable lifestyle as well as fitness goals such as losing weight, building muscle, increase mobility, and overall confidence. Nothing makes me happier than seeing you succeed. I am friendly and personable and would love to get to know each and everyone of you!
